Also linked to the film are Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan, actress Saoirse Ronan and pop sensation Dua Lipa – but these have not yet been confirmed.

The Derry Girls actress teased that Sex Education’s Ncuti had already been announced for the mystery project, but she had not yet.

And Ncuti appeared to hint that their joint project is the upcoming Barbie film as he shared a snap of the pair to Instagram alongside the caption, ‘a pair of dolls’.

The plot? Another synopsis on IMDB reads: 'A doll living in "Barbieland" is expelled for not being perfect enough and sets off on an adventure in the real world. A live-action feature film based on the popular line of Barbie toys'

Robbie told Harper’s Bazaar that she knows her character 'comes with a lot of baggage' for glamourizing unrealistic beauty standards

Goals: The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star is hoping to provoke 'thoughtful conversation' with the film

She previously said: ‘Something like Barbie where the IP, the name itself, people immediately have an idea of, ‘Oh Margot is playing Barbie, I know what that is’, but our goal is to be like, ‘Whatever you’re thinking, we’re going to give you something totally different – the thing you didn’t know you wanted’

Ahead of filming, she gushed to the Hollywood Reporter that she plans to bring 'something totally different' to the role.

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but insiders have suggested that there is a meta aspect to the story.

Will Ferrell is said to be playing the CEO of a toy company that may or may not be Mattel.

The first official image of Ryan showed the actor dressed as the ‘Earring Magic Ken’ version of the doll introduced by Mattel in 1993, as a companion to its ‘Earring Magic Barbie’ figure.

This particular version of the Ken doll featured an updated look with the character sporting blonde highlights, instead of his traditional brown hair.

A major change: All the way back in 2016, it had originally been announced that Amy Schumer would be taking on the role - but she bowed out just four months later

'Sadly, I'm no longer able to commit to Barbie due to scheduling conflicts,' she said at the time. 'The film has so much promise, and Sony and Mattel have been great partners. I'm bummed but look forward to seeing Barbie on the big screen'

Something different: Opting for something ‘a little left center,’ when it comes to her portrayal of the Mattel doll, the project will be produced by her LuckyChap Entertainment Company whose motto is, ‘If it’s not a f**k, yes, it’s a no’

Behind-the-scenes drama: However, later Schumer admitted that it was less about scheduling and more about creative differences. 'They definitely didn't want to do it the way I wanted to do it, the only way I was interested in doing it,' she told The Hollywood Reporter

The doll also featured a lavender mesh shirt, a purple leather jacket and jewelry including an earring and a necklace.

Upon release, it became the highest-selling Ken doll in history and caused a stir when some people speculated that designers had taken inspiration from the gay clubbing scene in early nineties New York and Los Angeles.

Ryan is known for his serious acting work in acclaimed films such as Drive, Blade Runner 2049, Blue Valentine, and Half Nelson.

Sporting a cheesy grin and white underwear branded with his character’s name, the role of Ken certainly appears to be somewhat of a left turn for the thespian.

Meanwhile, Margot has long been attached to play Barbie on the big screen and promised that the movie will be very different to what people are expecting.

She said: ‘Something like Barbie where the IP, the name itself, people immediately have an idea of, ‘Oh Margot is playing Barbie, I know what that is’, but our goal is to be like, ‘Whatever you’re thinking, we’re going to give you something totally different – the thing you didn’t know you wanted.”
