The upcoming Greta Gerwig Barbie movie keeps getting more and more fascinating; With every new announcement, we are getting more and more excited about entering this Barbie world.

The incredible Greta Gerwig is directing a new film, titled Barbie. It was previously announced that Margot Robbie would star in the film as the title character.

While that remains true, the reality of this life-in-plastic is far more intricate than that. Like a multiverse of Mattel, it was just announced that there will be multiple variations of Barbie and Ken in this film, played by multiple different actors.

Other casting speculations have been circling surrounding the highly anticipated film. In light of a picture and caption posted on the Instagram story of Gatwa, many believe that Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan will be appearing in the film.
