Margot on why she thought Barbie would not be made

“When I read the script, I thought, ‘This is genius and they’re never let us going to make it. What a shame it’s totally going to go to waste.’ Just because it’s not just that the movie is unexpected, but Greta pushes it in a direction I didn’t think they’d let us go in. A big part of that was in acknowledging what people found problematic about Barbie, and also what people love about Barbie,” Margot Robbie stated in an interview to Fandango.

“Plus, there is a Mattel CEO character in the film. There are a lot of jokes. So I just thought they won’t let us make it,” added Margot.

Margot Robbie wished to see Gal Gadot in Barbie

Explaining why Gal was a prime casting alternative for the movie, Margot stated, “Gal Gadot is Barbie energy… Because Gal Gadot is so impossibly beautiful, but you don’t hate her for being that beautiful because she’s so genuinely sincere, and she’s so enthusiastically kind, that it’s almost dorky. It’s like right before being a dork.”
