In Warner Bros.' latest trailer for Greta Gerwig's "Barbie," which stars Margot Robbie in the title role, Ryan Gosling plays the ultimate Ken doll.
The studio has released a startling image of Gosling's Ken with six-pack abs, bleach blonde hair, and a spray tan.
Following a photo of Robbie in Barbie's pink convertible, this is the second official still from "Barbie."
Gerwig collaborated on the script for "Barbie" with her boyfriend, "Frances Ha" and "Mistress America" colleague Noah Baumbach.
America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Issa Rae, Michael Cera, and others appear in the supporting cast.
Simu Liu previously described "Barbie" as "wild" and "very unique," adding, "I wish I could just show you what we do on a daily basis because it's ridiculous."
"You hear, 'HAHAHAHA!' while you're doing a scene and it's working." "It's the greatest feeling in the world," Liu said. "There's no chance for you if you're an asshole on a Greta Gerwig set."
For the role, Liu had to wax his whole body, which he said as "one of the most painful experiences of my life... I have a greater respect for the truly brave ladies who go through this every month."
"Barbie" will be released in theatres on July 21, 2023 by Warner Bros.
