Actress Margot Robbie recently discussed her first reaction upon reading the script for the upcoming movie "Barbie". The film, co-written by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach and directed by Gerwig, features Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, with a supporting cast including Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, Michael Cera, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Kate McKinnon.

In an interview with Bafta, Robbie expressed her initial excitement about the script, saying, "The first time I read the Barbie script, my reaction was, ‘Ah! This is so good.’" However, she also admitted to doubting whether the studio would actually allow the movie to be made. "What a shame it will never see the light of day,” she said. “Because they are never going to let us make this movie."

The official plot of the movie follows Barbie as she leaves Barbie Land for "being a less-than-perfect doll" and sets out to find true happiness in the human world. "Barbie" is scheduled for release in cinemas on July 21.

Although Robbie's initial reaction to the "Barbie" script was tinged with uncertainty about the movie's future, the fact that the film has since been completed and is slated for release suggests that her doubts were ultimately unfounded.

Fans of the classic toy will undoubtedly be excited to see how the iconic characters are brought to life on the big screen.
