The 28-year-old is officially stepping into the role of everyone’s favorite childhood doll in Mattel's first live-action movie around the character, according to E! News. Not only will she be bringing the iconic character to life on film in a “fresh and relevant way," but she’s also set to be co-producing it under her Lucky Chap production company, alongside Warner Bros. and Mattel. KELLY NYLAND/AFP/Getty Images “I’m so honored to take on this role and produce a film that I believe will have a tremendously positive impact on children and audiences worldwide,” she told the outlet in a statement. “Playing with Barbie promotes confidence, curiosity, and communication throughout a child’s journey to self-discovery. Over the brand’s almost 60 years, Barbie has empowered kids to imagine themselves in aspirational roles from a princess to president.” Margot Robbie's Castmates Couldn't Bear to Look at Her After Her Transformation into Queen Elizabeth This news comes after many failed attempts to cast the lead role – first with comedian Amy Schumer and later actress Anne Hathaway.
