Greta Gerwig released her magnum opus ‘Barbie’ along with Christopher Nolan’s nuclear drama ‘Oppenheimer.’ The Ryan Gosling-starrer was about how the real world distorts the peace in Barbie Land after Ken and Barbie visit the real world. Margot Robbie’s Barbie tries to bring peace to Barbie Land.
‘Barbie’ had a stellar cast, with stars like Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling headlining the film. The other actors included Simu Liu, Issa Rae, America Ferrera, and ‘Sex Education’ stars Ncuti Gatwa and Emma Mackey. Ncuti Gatwa is having the time of his life with the success of the Greta Gerwig feature.
