“Well, it was always going to have to be a sort of smaller thing because [Ronan] was actually producing at the time, which I am so proud of her for. And of course, it’s brilliant. But it was going to be a specialty cameo,” Gerwig informed CinemaBlend in a meeting released previously this month.

Sadly, the organizing really did not exercise for Ronan, and after that comparable challenges avoided Chalamet from showing up. “I was also going to do a specialty cameo with Timmy, and both of them couldn’t do it and I was so annoyed. But I love them so much,” Gerwig shared.

Emma Mackey as well as Margot Robbie’s Lookalike Joke

“I’ve been getting told for years that I look like the girl from Sex Education, who is Emma Mackey,” Robbie informed BuzzFeed in very early July. “She plays one of the Barbies in the movie pretty much because Greta and I thought it would be funny. We were gonna do this whole joke about us looking similar.”

Mackey looked far more like Robbie when she had blonde hair in the very early episodes of the Netflix hit, which debuted in 2019. Nonetheless, after Mackey went back to her all-natural redhead locks as well as mounted her confront with bangs, the joke really did not rather land.

“Once we got all dressed up as our Barbies, we were kind of like, ‘We don’t actually look that similar,’” Robbie remembered with a laugh. “Like, when she’s got her brown hair and I’ve got my blonde hair, we don’t look that similar, so we didn’t put that joke in the movie.”

Still, Robbie approves praises for Mackey’s job. “When people come up and say, ‘I loved you in Sex Education,’ I just say, ‘Thank you. Thank you so much,’” Robbie claimed.

Strange Barbie as well as Ken’s Scene

In a behind the curtain image launched by Detector Bros., Weird Barbie ( Kate McKinnon) is seen relaxing in a Dreamhouse swimming pool with Ken gladly lays his head in her lap. The image reveals Strange Barbie with a hand on Ken’s bare breast while Gerwig covers her mouth, relatively keeping back giggling. Was Ken mosting likely to go on with Strange Barbie? Was Ken mosting likely to lastly discover what to do at a pajama party? We might never ever recognize– however we would certainly enjoy to discover what was taking place in this deleted scene.

While a number of minutes needed to wind up on the reducing area flooring, Gerwig maintained the scene that was necessary to her– a short minute where Barbie sees an older lady in the real life as well as informs her she’s stunning.

“I love that scene so much,” Gerwig informed Wanderer in a meeting released on July 3. “And the older woman on the bench is the costume designer Ann Roth. She’s a legend.

And actually, the story would move on just the same.’ And I said, ‘If I cut the scene, I don’t know what this movie is about.’”

She included, “That’s how I saw it. To me, this is the heart of the movie. The way Margot plays that moment is so gentle and so unforced. There’s the more outrageous elements in the movie that people say, ‘Oh, my God, I can’t believe Mattel let you do this,’ or, ‘I can’t believe Warner Bros. let you do this.’ But to me, the part that I can’t believe that is still in the movie is this little cul-de-sac that doesn’t lead anywhere — except for, it’s the heart of the movie.”

Barbie remains in cinemas currently.
