Unbelievable Celebrity Cameos Almost Made it into Barbie Movie: Director Spills the Secrets!
Barbie's Director Spills the Beans on Exciting Almost-Happened Cameos! Discover which two major stars were almost part of the iconic doll's world Get ready for surprising revelations!
Barbie director Greta Gerwig attempted to include two surprise cameos in the movie, reuniting her with some frequent collaborators. Margot Robbie stars as Barbie, who leaves Barbie Land and embarks on a journey to the real world. The film boasts an impressive cast, including Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu, Will Ferrell, Emma Mackey, Helen Mirren, and Michael Cera. However, Gerwig's efforts to have Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan make cameo appearances were unsuccessful due to scheduling conflicts. Gerwig had previously worked with both actors on Lady Bird and Little Women.
Will Barbie Have Any Surprise Cameos?
: "Well, due to her busy production schedule, we had to make it a smaller project, which I am incredibly proud of her for. And let me tell you, it turned out absolutely brilliant. Originally, we had planned for both Timmy and her to have special cameo appearances, but unfortunately, it didn't work out and I was quite frustrated about it. Nevertheless, I have so much love for both of them. It just felt odd to be working on something without them. I may not be their actual mother, but I do feel a maternal connection towards them."
The cast for Barbie is already remarkable, featuring a wide range of talented actors portraying different versions of Barbie and Ken. Robbie is just one of the many Barbies in the film, alongside Mackey, Hari Nef, Alexandra Shipp, Dua Lipa, Ritu Arya, and Kate McKinnon, who all bring their unique interpretations to the iconic doll. Similarly, Ken is portrayed by Gosling, Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, John Cena, and others, each adding their own touch to the Barbie counterpart.
The degree of prominence for these alternate versions of each doll in the movie remains uncertain. Cena's portrayal of Ken has been confirmed to be a cameo resulting from his nearby filming for Fast X. Other actors, such as Dua Lipa, may also have brief roles that essentially amount to cameo appearances. There is a possibility that additional surprise cameos have been planned by Gerwig for the film, although the identities of these potential cameos have not been disclosed. It is worth noting that Barbie is not a superhero film, and there are unlikely to be any characters of significant importance beyond the different versions of the doll already included. Therefore, audiences should manage their expectations regarding cameos.
