Barbie Trailer Offers New Plot Hints And Colourful Visuals

Following on from the audacious, Kubrickian teaser, we should have seen today's poster drop as a sign that a new trailer for Barbie is on the way. It has arrived, and you can peep it below, provided you're not busy beaching someone off.

While the teaser offered just a quick look at Barbie's world, the new trailer dives deeper, even if we still have no real idea what the story will be. But the concept of Barbie looking to head to the real world (and having human characters listed among the cast is a big clue too). This could be the most entertaining use of a classic toy since The Lego Movie – and possibly even more surreal.

With Greta Gerwig directing, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as the main Barbie and Ken, this movie's ensemble is bursting at the seams. For example? Try Dua Lipa, Hari Nef, Ana Cruz Kayne, Sharon Rooney, Alexandra Shipp, Issa Rae, Ritu Arya, Kate McKinnon, Nicola Coughlan, Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Scott Evans, Michael Cera, Emerald Fennell, Will Ferrell… And Helen Mirren as the narrator. And that's not even everyone.

If you weren't already anticipating this one, the trailer will have you eager to find out what Gerwig and co. have been working on. We'll have to wait until 21 July.
