Margot Robbie has been announced to play the role of iconic children’s doll Barbie, in a forthcoming live-action film.
I’m so honoured to take on this role and produce a film that I believe will have a tremendously positive impact on children and audiences worldwide. “I can’t imagine better partners than Warner Bros and Mattel to bring this film to the big screen.”
“Playing with Barbie promotes confidence, curiosity and communication throughout a child’s journey to self-discovery,” Robbie said.
“Over the brand’s almost 60 years, Barbie has empowered kids to imagine themselves in aspirational roles from a princess to president.
