Even better news: Patty Jenkins, the director who breathed new, glorious life into the DCEU with Wonder Woman, is in early talks to direct it.
THR reports that Robbie has her sights set on becoming Barbie for the long-developing live-action film based on Mattel’s prolific line of dolls.
Jenkins has similarly become an asset for WB, which has been struggling to build a successful DC Universe.
Robbie definitely looks the part of Barbie, but the prior script centered on a Barbie who was more unconventional, making her something of a black sheep in the Barbie world.
