Gosling is expected to play Harley Quinn's boyfriend in the live-action version of Barbie

The live-action version of "Barbie", which has gone through many twists and turns in its preparation, has recently revealed its casting dynamics. It is understood that the famous actor Ryan Gosling is in talks with the producers about participating in the film. If all goes well, he will play Barbie's boyfriend Ken in the film and work with Margot Robbie, who plays Barbie in the film.

Since its release in 1959, Barbie has become one of the most popular toy series in the world, bringing in up to $3 billion in profits to toy giant Mattel every year. In Sony's plan, this film is expected to be made into a feminist film, telling the story of Barbie discovering that she is not as perfect as people imagine. She accepts her imperfections, goes deep into real life, and realizes that being unique is the most important thing. At present, the director of the film is set to be Greta Gerwig. For quite a number of fans, it is unacceptable that Greta Gerwig came to direct "Barbie". After all, this female director has made a living with independent films with unique styles and stories for many years. However, this time she came to a mainstream film studio, and Gerwig can also take this opportunity to enter the mainstream film circle.

In 2015, Sony began preparing for a live-action film of Barbie, hoping to create a humane family comedy that would convey modern values ​​of female beauty and self-awareness. According to the plan, the film will start shooting in 2022 and will be released in 2023.
