This follows rumours that the film will feature multiple versions of Barbie and Ken. According to Kyle Buchanan from The New York Times, Issa Rae and Hari Nef will play Barbie alongside Robbie, while Simu Liu and Ncuti Gatwa will join Gosling in playing variations of Ken.

Liu recently said he signed onto the project after his agent described the film’s script as one of the best he’d ever read.

“He literally said this verbatim,” Liu told GQ UK. “He was like, ‘If I could stake my career on any one script, it’s the Barbie script. I really think you should do it.”

Other cast members confirmed include America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Michael Cera, Rhea Perlman, Connor Swindells, Scott Evans and Jamie Demetriou.

Barbie is directed by Gerwig from a screenplay she wrote with her partner Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story). The film is scheduled to be released in cinemas on July 21, 2023.

Earlier this month, Lipa teased what to expect from the successor to her 2020 album ‘Future Nostalgia’, which she described as “50 per cent done”.
