To that end, they were able to cast people of different shapes, sizes, and differently-abled to participate in this dance, all under this message: You don't have to be blonde, white, or X, Y, or Z to embody what it means to be a Barbie or a Ken, Simu Liu continued.

He said it was what you see in the trailer of the movie's first teaser, which Warner Bros. dropped the day before. He feels like you can surmise what kind of experience they had filming it just by watching the trailer. It's so much fun.

The dancing, the laughing, all of that. So now, finally seeing that in a work form is surreal because we just felt like we were having fun the whole time, Simu Liu added.

He is excited for people to watch more. He thinks one more trailer will come out before the movie, but it's great to keep the audience guessing, and he can't wait for them to see it.

In July, when the sources asked Gosling (42 years old) what it was like to break the internet with playful online reactions to the first look at his portrayal of Ken, he joked. It gave him no other choice.
