Star-studded cast and diverse characters

Meanwhile, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey, Hari Nef, Sharon Rooney, Ana Cruz Kayne, Ritu Arya, Dua Lipa, and Nicola Coughlan play different versions of Barbie in the film. Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Ncuti Gatwa, Scott Evans, and John Cena portray different versions of Ken in the film.

Interestingly, Barbie clashed at the box office with Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, and both films worked incredibly well across the globe. During Variety's recent series, Actors on Actors, Margot told Cillian Murphy about how many urged her to delay the release of Barbie.

Margot Robbie's decision to maintain release date

She told the actor, “One of your producers, Chuck Roven, called me because we worked together on some other projects. And he was like, ‘I think you guys should move your date.’ And I was like, ‘We’re not moving our date. If you’re scared to be up against us, then you move your date.’ And he’s like, ‘We’re not moving our date. I just think it’d be better for you to move.’ And I was like, ‘We’re not moving!’ I think this is a really great pairing, actually. It’s a perfect double billing, Oppenheimer and Barbie.” 

Murphy called it a "great instinct" upon hearing of Margot's decision.
