Margot Robbie stunned the audience with her performance inI, TonyaandBombshelland continues to turn moviegoers speechless with her successive box office blockbusters. And such a bespoke roster of films does not come to someone unwilling to cross a few transgressional lines and break a few rules outside what is deemed as sanctioned and allowed. Such is the idea behind the newBarbiefilm which is well on its way toward being one of the most anticipated films of 2023.

Margot Robbie Set To Team Up With Another Industry Great
Margot Robbie‘s career trajectory took a hike in the charts of box office earnings after a brilliantly chosen filmography that boasts of iconic entries such asThe Wolf of Wall Street,TheBig Short, andBombshell. In the very first few years of her arrival in the industry, Robbie ensured her place beyond the trope of blonde bombshell/arm candy stereotype by creating a niche for herself that exuded energy, confidence, and skill, enough to set herself apart in the eyes of the biggest Hollywood directors. And so she did withI, Tonya,Babylon, andOnce Upon a Time… in Hollywood.

After a career built by working with directors like Martin Scorsese, Damien Chazelle, Quentin Tarantino, and James Gunn, Margot Robbie not only establishes her brilliance in front of the lens but easily becomes the most coveted actress of Hollywood today. It is understandable, then, if the next pick in the history of cinematic greatness is created by the collaboration of Robbie andGreta Gerwig– the Oscar-nominated director and actress, who also happens to be one of the most powerful storytellers and visionaries of the modern industry.
Margot Robbie Was Worried AboutBarbieBeing Sanctioned
The legitimacy ofBarbielies in the fact that it is inherently iconic. The Mattel toy line has become more than just a doll. Barbie has become a symbol by opting to embody the voice of millions of girls around the world, for its representation and for advocating socio-political awareness about the unfolding events in the volatile climate of today (for instance, the release of a model fashioned entirely on Zendaya’s iconic Oscars look that drew backlash for her dreadlocks).
Greta Gerwig’sBarbie, too, models itself after greatness and infuses a subtle yet palpable undertone of critique on modern society. With a touch of sheer brilliance and absolute remarkability marking the script, Gerwig manages to impress once again as she draws parallels to the opening montage of human evolution, as shown in Stanley Kubrick’s2001: A Space Odyssey. However, without spoiling anything, Margot Robbie claims:
“The first time I read the ‘Barbie’ script, my reaction was, ‘Ah! This is so good. What a shame it will never see the light of day, because they are never going to let us make this movie.’ But they did.”

As for the big secret that could have ended up putting offBarbie‘s production remains a coy,“Can’t tell ya!”from Robbie, the lead who plays the eponymous character. Joined by Ryan Gosling’s Ken, the Greta Gerwig film is already being claimed as one of the most impressive screenplays to be ever written and executed on film. With a release date set on the same day as the premiere of Christopher Nolan’sOppenheimer, the movie reportedly sees Barbie escaping from her perfect utopian fantasy Barbieland for the world outside and being overwhelmed by reality.
Barbiepremieres on 26 July 2025.
