John Cena Confirmed to Play Key Role in Upcoming ‘Barbie’ Movie

The internet has seen a new trailer for the children’s iconic toy film “Barbie.” Popularly known for its pink aesthetic, the movie is an upcoming American 3D computer-animated musical fantasy film produced by Universal Pictures and released by 20th Century Fox.

The new drama is set in the Barbie universe, with Margot Robbie playing the titular character.

In a conversation with Carey Mulligan, Margot said she has been developing the project with LuckyChap for four or five years, and they couldn’t have asked for a better director than Greta Gerwig. She was one of their top choices.
