Chris Evans' Heartwarming Response to His Brother's Groundbreaking Barbie Casting Will Leave You All Smiles

Barbie star Scott Evans reveals his brother, MCU star Chris Evans, had an incredibly heartwarming response upon learning of his casting in the Greta Gerwig film. The movie, inspired by the popular Mattel toy line, stars Margot Robbie as Barbie, who embarks on a adventure from Barbie Land to the Real World with Ken (played by Ryan Gosling). The film showcases various versions of both Ken and Barbie, and Scott Evans portrays one of the Kens.

In a recent interview with ET, Evans discloses the momentous experience of being cast in the upcoming Barbie film and shares his brother's endearing reaction. Here is Evans' full remark:

"Losing it" doesn't quite capture the magnitude of my reaction! Discovering that I had achieved it was a surreal moment of realization, followed by an immediate need to take action. Without hesitation, I reached out to my loved ones, starting with a FaceTime call to my boyfriend, followed by another to my mother.

When I dialed Chris for the third time, I couldn't contain my excitement and blurted out, "Guess what!" His reaction surpassed anyone else's, as he was ecstatic beyond measure. He simply couldn't wrap his head around the incredible news.

Why There Are Multiple Barbies & Kens In Barbie

Before the first Barbie trailer premiered, there was already excitement surrounding the casting announcements for the film, as it was revealed that multiple variations of the beloved dolls would be featured. One casting choice that generated significant online buzz was Emma Mackey, who bears a striking resemblance to Robbie. Eventually, it was confirmed that Mackey, along with Hari Nef, Nicola Coughlan, Rita Arya, Kate McKinnon, Dua Lipa, and Issa Rae, would all be portraying different versions of Barbie.

Similarly, in addition to Gosling, the film will also include Evans, John Cena, Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Ncuti Gatwa as different interpretations of Ken. Although many details about the location of Barbie Land within the movie's world remain unanswered, the trailer clearly showcases a world filled exclusively with various Barbie and Ken versions. For instance, Robbie's character resides in a pink Barbie Dream House situated on a street lined with other Barbie Dream Houses.

The trailer provides some explanation on how this is possible, confirming that Robbie and Ken's characters are dolls made by Mattel. Although other Barbies and Kens have similar traits like their specific foot poses and lack of existential curiosity, Robbie's character stands out as an outsider, embarking on a journey of self-discovery. There are still unanswered questions about what lies ahead in Barbie, but the movie is undoubtedly shaping up to be a captivating exploration of the beloved Mattel toy.
