She has captured the hearts of little girls for generations, and now she’s all prepped for her big-screen debut. Barbie is getting a live-action movie for the first time, and she’s all set to shine bright for her summer release on July 21! Based on the infamous doll that made its debut in 1959 by Mattel, Barbie stars Margot Robbie as the title character and Ryan Gosling as the man himself, Ken! Helmed by Greta Gerwig with a screenplay by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, Barbie features all the colorful imagery, parties, and sheer joy that audiences can expect with a big-budget summer release.

Mattel Films and Heyday Films are also producing the movie. Alexandre Desplat will be scoring the film.
