The animated Barbie movies are in a league of their own when it comes to surprisingly catchy musical numbers and perennially sunny life lessons, but that live-action movie about the fashionable doll is finally happening. With several actresses previously linked to the role, Warner Bros. and Mattel have confirmed that Margot Robbie will star in the live-action Barbie movie. After recently playing real-life royalty in Mary Queen of Scots, it seems only right for Robbie to take on the queen of Toy Land.
On Jan. 8, Warner Bros and toy company Mattel finalized their partnership through the official announcement of the Oscar nominee’s casting. Reports of Robbie playing Barbie first appeared in October 2018, but the two brands have apparently ironed out any conflicts that once faced the movie.
