But today, we finally got more details on who some of the actors are playing through these incredible posters that were just released.

First, we’ve, of course, got Margot and Ryan playing THE Barbie and Ken:

Here’s Emma Mackey, whose Barbie has “a Nobel Prize in physics”:

On Instagram, Hari shared how she almost couldn’t do the movie because of a scheduling conflict. She wrote a letter to Greta and Margot asking if they could shift the schedule a little so she could join, explaining the importance of Barbie to her and her transgender friends.

The Umbrella Academy star Ritu Arya will play a Barbie who has a Pulitzer:

Warner Bros.

Kate McKinnon stars as a Barbie who “is always in the splits”:

Here’s America Ferrera as a HUMAN, not a Barbie:

Sharon Rooney, who notably starred in My Mad Fat Diary, portrays a Barbie who is a lawyer:

Alexandra Shipp is playing a Barbie who is “a celebrated author”:

Warner Bros.

Fleabag star Jamie Demetriou is a guy in a suit, who I’m assuming works with Will and Connor’s characters:

Ariana Greenblatt, who notably starred in Disney Channel’s Stuck in the Middle, is playing another human:

Warner Bros.

Emerald Fennell stars as Midge, who I can already tell is gonna be hysterical:

Here’s Ana Cruz Kayne, who also appeared in Greta’s Little Women, as a Supreme Court Justice Barbie.

And finally, here’s Scott Evans as…you guessed it…a Ken:

Warner Bros.

I’m actually obsessed that all of the Barbies have jobs and identities while the Kens are just Kens — Greta, you genius, you.

Warner Bros.

Anyway, that’s all the new info we’ve got for Barbie for now, but let’s be honest, I could know nothing about this movie and still be as excited as I am right now.
