Margot Robbie’s Barbie movie has its Ken in Ryan Gosling. News of the casting broke this afternoon in a report from Deadline. Warner Bros. has been looking for the perfect companion to put alongside the actress’ take on the character for a while now, and audiences will probably approve of this choice. Gosling is still beloved and chiseled for the part (which one assumes factored into the decision as well.) Reports also indicate that the movie would begin shooting in the early months of 2022. Greta Gerwig is aboard to direct as well, meaning that this will be one of the most interesting efforts of next year with all that star power. Robbie will also serve as a producer on the project as well with her LuckyChap Entertainment banner. When the project was announced, WarnerMedia chairman Toby Emmerich said, “This project is a great start to our partnership with Ynon and Mattel Films. And, Margot is the ideal producer and actress to bring Barbie to life on screen in a fresh and relevant way for today’s audiences.”
