“But I’m really excited for people to watch more. I think there will be one more trailer that comes out before the movie, but I think it’s great to keep the audience guessing, and I can’t wait for them to see.”

Coming off ofcontroversy regarding the dollin years prior, Robbie previously spoke toBritish Vogueabout some misconceptions surrounding the film soon after news of the production broke, acknowledging that the brand “comes with a lot of baggage.”
“People generally hear Barbie and think, ‘I know what that movie is going to be,'” she said last June. “Then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they’re like, ‘Oh, well, maybe I don’t….'”
