Barbie
Margot Robbie ’s upcomingBarbiemovie can potentially have a large final payment for its funniest casting . The Warner Bros. movie already has a star - studded mold that is farm machination in the lively - legal action motion picture . However , there is one casting that is specially hilarious - and pure for a particular fibre in the film .
The movie , directed by Greta Gerwig and save by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach , is a romantic comedy focused on the titulary Mattel skirt . Margot Robbie stars as Barbie , taking up the role after Amy Schumer and Anne Hathaway were previously attached to the projection .

Emma Mackey ’s molding is great because there has been a meme making the rung on the net about how much Mackey look like Margot Robbie . People have joked that they should star in a project together , and it looks like that joke has become a realness . The best payoff for this casting would be to have Emma Mackey play Skipper Roberts , Barbie ’s younger sister . Skipper was first introduced in 1964 , five years after Barbie was created . There were request for Barbie to have fry , but Mattel have Barbie a sister instead . Originally , Skipper was eight year sure-enough but was mature up to be a stripling . The strong-arm similarities betweenSex Education ’s Emma Mackeyand Margot Robbie are arrant for the two of them to play sisters together , particularly since the actual Barbie and Skipper dolls wait so similar .
However , Emma Mackey is n’t only good for the part because of her physical coming into court . She also has the act chops to confine her own against Margot Robbie . Mackey already does a great job playact sardonic teenager Maeve Wiley inSex instruction , so she could ably impersonate Barbie ’s adolescent sister . InSex Education , Mackey ’s character is an outspoken libber , which would be perfect for the upcomingBarbiemovie since Greta Gerwig ’s past films have had feminist subject . raspberry of Prey ’s Harley Quinn actressMargot Robbie is also a very talented actress , so seeing the two of them roleplay in picture together would be fun to watch .
There is also a opportunity that Emma Mackey is n’t portray Skipper . She could be an all different character . Since Will Ferrell is playing the chief operating officer of a toy company , perhaps Mackey will also be dwell a character in the " real world " of Barbie . If that ’s the case , it open up an opportunity for in - jokes about how much her character resemble Barbie , which would be a fun wink to Mackey and Robbie ’s resemblance . While that would be fun , Skipper would still be the perfect Barbie part for Emma Mackey .
