As the buzz for the “Barbie” movie continues to grow, moviegoers will be surprised to learn that one of the earliest casting choices for the titular role of the iconic doll didn’t pan out.
Margot Robbie, star and co-producer of the film, told Vogue in an interview published this week that her choice for the role was none other than “Wonder Woman” star Gal Gadot. But even though she wasn’t available, the Israeli star ended up serving as something of a template by which Robbie and Greta Gerwig – who co-wrote and directs “Barbie” – made further casting decisions. “Gal Gadot is Barbie energy,” Robbie said.
People can project sex onto her. Yes, she can wear a short skirt, but because it’s fun and pink. Not because she wanted you to see her butt.” Robbie also shared a bit of her production company’s pitch to Mattel, and how she landed the rights to participate in making the new movie based on the brand’s most iconic product. Barbie was a property Robbie saw huge potential in, saying, “The word itself is more globally recognized than practically everything else other than Coca-Cola.
