During a recent Vogue interview, Margot Robbie discussed her upcoming film “Barbie,” stating that both she and director Greta Gerwig had originally intended to cast Gal Gadot as the lead character. Robbie expressed her admiration for Gadot’s striking appearance and vibrant energy, noting that she embodies the essence of Barbie. However, due to scheduling conflicts related to her role in “Snow White,” Gadot was unable to accept the offer. Despite this setback, Robbie praised Gadot’s warm and genuine personality, emphasizing her natural charm and beauty. It’s worth noting that Amy Schumer was previously announced as the lead for the film in 2016, but later withdrew from the project due to conflicting schedules.
As per a recent report from Hollywood Reporter, Margot Robbie has been picked to portray the iconic character of Barbie in an upcoming movie. Despite being chosen for the lead role, Robbie confessed that she was never interested in playing with Barbie dolls while growing up. She only found excitement in the project after accepting the part. During an interview with Vogue, Robbie shared her thoughts on how the Barbie doll is often portrayed as overly sexualized, stating that as it is a plastic toy without any reproductive organs, people cannot impose their sexual desires on it. The highly anticipated Barbie movie is slated for release on July 21 and will feature a star-studded cast, including Ryan Gosling, Will Ferrell, Simu Liu, Emma Mackey, Issa Rae, Dua Lipa, and John Cena, alongside Robbie.
Warner Bros has released two trailers for their upcoming Barbie movie, which stars Margot Robbie. The first trailer features Barbie in a classic striped swimsuit that pays homage to the original Mattel doll from 1959. Meanwhile, the second trailer offers a more detailed glimpse into the world of Barbie and her partner Ken, who is played by Ryan Gosling. Margot Robbie, who hails from Dalby, Queensland, rose to fame with her role in Neighbors and has since become a Hollywood star with movies like The Wolf of Wall Street, Suicide Squad, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. She has been nominated for three Golden Globes and two Oscars throughout her career.
Gal Gadot, a renowned Israeli model and actress, was born in Rosh Ha’ayin on April 30, 1985. Her mother worked as a teacher while her father was an engineer. Despite being approached by several modeling agencies, Gal did not develop an interest in the modeling industry. Instead, she desired to be a dance instructor. Upon turning 18, she served in the Israel Defense Forces for two years. In 2004, Gal took part in the Miss Israel competition as a fun activity, but unexpectedly emerged as the winner. Her military background caught the attention of director Justin Lin, who was searching for someone to play Giselle, a female monster, in the Fast Furious film franchise, which marked her debut into acting. Her remarkable portrayal of the lead character in the blockbuster movie Wonder Woman in 2017 elevated her to new heights of fame across the globe.
In 2008, Gadot got hitched with a successful businessman, Yaron Versano. The couple now has three children together. Just recently, she was hailed as the 12th most stunning woman in the universe by TC Candler, a beauty assessment website. Meanwhile, back in March 2016, Gadot made an appearance at the London premiere of “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” as captured in a video shared by Splash News on YouTube.
