First images of Margot Robbie’s Barbie movie released online

The very first look at Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling’s Barbie movie has been released.

All the way back in July 2021, the Barbie movie was first announced, shocking most of the internet. To drop even more jaws, it was announced that the project would be led by superstars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as the titular Barbie and her longtime beau, Ken.

It almost didn’t feel real. Except, it very much was.

In June 2022, the first on-set photos of the leading duo were glimpsed, and it was just as any as one would expect. Now, six months later, the world is being given a better look at what’s to come.

Come on Barbie, Let’s Go Party

The first footage of the highly anticipated Barbie film has debuted in front of Thursday screenings of Avatar: The Way of Waterin the U.S.

The first brief glimpse is only 45 seconds, but does show some wildly vibrant scenes, which happens to include a great look at Ryan Gosling’s Ken:

«The trailer starts with a 2001 A Space Odyssey homage with little girls playing with old dolls, with narration about how they played with ordinary dolls, then the girls see a pair of tall legs (in the same way the apes saw the silver rectangle) and it’s a giant Barbie, which is Margot Robbie wearing a black swimsuit with the music of 2001 playing in the background, which then cuts to the little girls smashing their ordinary dolls in the way the apes smash the bones, then it had quick cuts of her looking at the town which looks like a life size Barbie play set (which looks great) with quick cuts of Ryan Gosling and Simu Liu.»

Get Ready for Robbie’s Barbie

Many are probably feeling some confusion right now – is it possible to truly be excited about a live-action Barbie film? The answer is, of course!

It seems the film will be bringing major LEGO Movie vibes. Maintaining a sense of self-awareness, embracing the outlandish, and truly leaning into the property they have—no matter how insane it looks.

With the trailer screening in front of Avatar: The Way of Water, it will almost certainly be hitting the web soon. Honestly, it’s strange that it hasn’t already.
