They Could Not Have Chosen a Younger Ken for this Barbie Movie?

Like, Ryan Gosling's hot no doubt, but come on now? He looks like Ken's 50 year old dad.

Margot looks good though.

I think it's the hair. The shade isn't looking good

Yeah, that color would wash out and make most people look older, so at 41, he's pushing it.

Is this for Barbie movie? For real? I thought is's a joke

That weirds me out a bit

I'm still trying to figure out what the plot for this is going to be like?

Is this a comedy? Am I supposed to take this seriously lmao? I am guessing not by how Ken is dressed here. I know there is going to be some kind of take on women and possibly feminism based on the fact they have Margot and Ryan cast.

I'm wondering if this will be a modern day Legally Blonde?

I also guessed that they're going to try to have some 'modern moral story', but still, there are so many amazing or interesting stories out there, that deserve to be portrayed as movies, that a Barbie movie weirded me out on a first thought

Well, we live in a world where the Fast and the Furious has like 9 sequels and every Disney animated film ever made is being made into a live action film. Nothing surprises me these days.

Quote from Kairina

will ken be 40 years old in the movie

You know what, that could be possible.

That would make for some interesting commentary if true.

If not, then this is just for shits and giggles lol.

I have read somewhere that story is about Barbie who kicked out from perfect land due to being not perfect enough comes to ordinary world sth lol, but idk i can't find the source, and it says the movie is romance

Interesting. Okay. Definitely seems like a lens is going to be shined on cultural expectations of women and possibly misogyny. Probably presented in a comedic, witty, and relatable way. Also makes me think that Ryan's role probably won't be that big in the film if she is coming to the real world. Probably going to end up falling for some cynical brunette with a boyish smile.

Quote from jinaland

who knows maybe Ken comes after her but idk plot might be different, there is still no plot on imdb and its going to be released one year after

I feel like Ryan is a bait and switch. Like Drew Barrymore was for Scream. She was on all of the posters and the biggest name on the whole movie, and she died in the first 5 minutes.

Who knows, Barbie might end up a lesbian or saying "I don't need anyone!" Either way, they have peaked my interest.
