Mattel Films' Robbie Brenner and Paddington's David Heyman are also producing.Plans to adapt Barbie's story for the big screen have taken on a few iterations in recent years, but when Robbie, Gerwig and Baumbach boarded the project in 2018 and 2019, respectively, things have been full steam ahead.In July, Variety reported 'Barbie' was set to start production in early 2022 at WB's Leavesden Studios in London, with a planned 2023 theatrical release.Not much has been revealed about the movie's plot, but one major question has been answered with the casting of Ken.
