While plot details around Gerwig’s live-action Barbie – which began filming in spring this year – have been kept under wraps, news reports have indicated that multiple actors will play different versions of Barbie and Ken. The confirmed cast for Barbie also includes Sex Education’s Mackey, Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, Issa Rae, America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Michael Cera, Rhea Perlman, Emerald Fennell, Scott Evans, and Hari Nef – further stoking the theory that there will be more than one Barbie and Ken each in Gerwig’s film.
