Ken is by no means the only boy with a Barbie in this world of Barbies.
Tuesday, a series of official posters for director Greta Gerwig’s upcoming film have been released The movie “Barbie”.suggesting some real-life comparisons to plastic dolls.
Based on Mattel’s iconic toy line, the film features different versions of Barbie and Ken, with Issa Rae playing a President Barbie, Dua Lipa as a Mermaid Barbie and Kate McKinnon as an “always on edge” Barbie, according to posters for each of their characters. Meanwhile, Michael Cera stars as a male doll named Allan.
However, the best posters of the lot belong to the film’s stars, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, who play the original Barbie and Ken.
Robbie’s poster features a tagline that simply says “Barbie is everything.”
But things get really funny with Gosling’s poster tagline, which reads, “It’s only Ken.”
The main poster for the film, which opens on July 21, features both Robbie and Gosling, with a combined tagline for the toy pair: “She’s everything. It’s just Ken.
The hilariously accurate description of the two dolls resonated with Twitter users this week, and many were able to come up with other fictional and real-life couples who give off a similar vibe.
