According to reports, Schumer’s proposed plot would have involved Barbie being expelled from her utopian society and forced to embark on an exciting quest to discover who she really is in the real world. At the 20th Unforgettable Gala, Liu gave a sneak peek at the film’s theme, “inner beauty,” and said that Gerwig paid special attention to diversity and inclusion when casting the picture.
Despite what Gosling perceives to be a lack of public interest in the masculine doll, Ken’s trip appears to be the film’s primary focus. The actor quipped in a May 2023 interview with GQ that, despite widespread claims of concern for Ken over “this whole time,” he knows they “never cared.”
“You would realize that no one cares about Ken if you ever gave a damn about Ken. Now your hypocrisy has been shown,” he remarked. This is why he had to get his tale shared.
