On Greta Gerwig Barbie, Margot Robbie plays Barbie.

(Mermaid Barbie), Nicola Golan (Diplomat Barbie), Ana Cruz Cain (Judge Barbie), Ritu Arya (Journalist Barbie) and others.

Robbie also revealed the podcast that helped her play Barbie.
„Greta, I was like, I have to go through this whole character journey. Greta, oh, I have a great podcast for you. Gerwig sent Robbie an episode. This American Life, about a woman who doesn’t introspect. „You know how you always have a voice in your head?” Robbie says. „This girl, she doesn’t have that voice in her head.”
If Robbie doesn’t win an Oscar BarbieBecause Gerwig should have sent her an episode Doughboys instead of
The voice in my head tells me Barbie Releases on July 21. And I have to pick up a prescription at CVS, but mostly Barbie matter.
