On Friday (December 16th), Warner Bros. released the first teaser trailer for Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. Helen Mirren says in a voiceover, “Since the beginning of time, since the first little girl ever existed, there have been dolls, but the dolls were always and forever … baby dolls. Until…”
Robbie then appears as a towering version of the iconic doll in a striped swimsuit—a replica of the first Barbie doll ever released by Mattel in 1959. The 75-second promo gives a glimpse of Robbie as Barbie, Gosling as Ken, and the pink world in which they live.
The film is scheduled to reach theaters on July 21st, 2023.
