Simu Liu Joins Cast of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie Film
The post Simu Liu Joins Cast of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie Film appeared first on Consequence.
Turns out Ken isn’t the only man in Barbie’s life: Simu Liu has been cast in Greta Gerwig’s forthcoming film based on the beloved Mattel franchise, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Liu is will join previously-announced cast members Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and America Ferrera in the Barbie movie. Robbie — who’s also producing the film — will star as the eponymous doll, with Gosling as Ken. Liu and Ferrera’s roles are still under wraps, as are many other details about the film.
Liu became a household name last year with his role as the title character in Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. He’ll presumably reprise the role in Disney+’s forthcoming sequel.
Barbie marks Gerwig’s first directing job since 2019’s Little Women; she also co-wrote the script with Marriage Story filmmaker Noah Baumbach.
Filming is set to begin later this year.
