Life in plastic is looking pretty fantastic.

Greta Gerwig’s highly anticipated Barbie film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling released a brand-new trailer, as well as several posters on Twitter featuring the star-studded cast, as reported by the New York Post.

“Meet our Barbies and Kens,” reads a tweet from the film’s official account.

The tweet shows Margot Robbie, Kate McKinnon, Nicola Coughlan, Alexandra Shipp, Ritu Arya, Hari Nef and several other actors as the different versions of Barbie.

Also joining the cast is three-time Grammy winner Dua Lipa, who will make her acting debut as a mermaid version of the doll.

Lipa, 27, has been suspected to be involved with the upcoming movie ever since the “Future Nostalgia” singer was followed by the movie’s Instagram account last year.

Several versions of Ken – which are played by Ryan Gosling, Scott Evans, Simu Liu and Ncuti Gatwa – are also introduced in the tweet. Michael Cera portrays Allan, Ken’s friend.

The cast also includes human characters such as Will Ferrell as the Mattel CEO and even Helen Mirren as the movie’s narrator.

A running gag throughout the tweet shows Barbie in several different occupations such as the president, a doctor and a Nobel Prize winner, while all the Kens are labelled “just another Ken”.

Alongside the character posters, a brand-new trailer for the film shows Barbie and Ken leaving Barbieland for the real world.

In December 2022, the film dropped its first teaser trailer with Mirren, 77, narrating how Barbie dolls changed the world.

Gerwig’s film, which was announced in April 2014, has kept the plot of the film boxed up but Gosling, 42, and Robbie, 32, gave fans a sneak peek at their wardrobe last year when they were filming in Venice Beach, California, dressed from head to toe in neon skater gear and highlighter-yellow rollerskates.

According to The Wolf of Wall Street star, the photos – which were leaked on the internet – drew hundreds of people to the set.

“I can’t tell you how mortified we were, by the way,” Robbie said in September 2022 while on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. “We look like we’re like laughing and having fun, but we’re dying on the inside. Dying. I was like, this is the most humiliating moment of my life.”

“Barbie” is set to party into theatres on July 21.
