A new batch of scenes in Barbie's original world, which some have theorized will be populated by Barbies and Kens.
Now, the Barbie Twitter has revealed a slew of new posters featuring a plethora of Barbies and Kens. These posters confirm fan theories surrounding Barbie's world while giving a larger look at the ensemble cast of characters involved in the film. Check out all the Barbie and Ken character posters below:
What Multiple Barbies & Kens Mean For Barbie
With multiple Barbies and Kens of varying degrees now confirmed to appear in Barbie, it appears that Barbie's original world will be more fleshed out and intrinsic to the plot than previously implied. Descriptions of the film reveal that it will see Robbie's Barbie excommunicated from her doll world after not being perfect enough. Her subsequent journey to the real world implies that Barbie's world isn't going to appear as often in the film as reality.
However, given the extensive cast of Barbies and Kens now confirmed to have a role in the movie, their involvement in the film's plot will likely be more important than implied. Since the film will be tackling the idea of perfection through the lens of Barbie dolls, it's likely each character will have their own viewpoint on what perfection really means. Because of this, Barbie can explore how there is no such thing as a definition for perfection, embracing its themes through its many characters.
With so many Barbies and Kens now appearing in the film, Barbie will be taking on a multi-layered approach to its story and themes. The movie may prove to be a commentary on Barbie dolls themselves, which can make for an interesting experience for those attending the film. It will be more clear just how much multiple Barbies and Kens will impact Barbie when the film arrives in July.
