The teaser trailer for director Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is out. Although the trailer is yet to be released online officially, it has already got everyone talking after leaked images of Margot Robbie in a swimsuit have been going viral. In the film, Margot plays the role of the original Barbie, with Ryan Gosling portraying the role of Ken.

The first trailer of the film shows her standing in the iconic black-and-white striped swimsuit. She is seen sporting a ponytail and white sunglasses, like the 1950s doll when she was first introduced in the market.

The teaser of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, released on Friday, introduces Margot Robbie as the popular and iconic American doll. It is now playing in theatres ahead of Avatar: The Way Of Water and is also available online. Writer and director Greta takes us into a whole new universe of dolls.

There are said to be many Barbies and Kens, though Margot and actor Ryan Gosling are reportedly the main versions of their characters. (Also read: Barbie trailer first look: Margot Robbie strikes a pose in a classic swimsuit)

Barbie had originally been in the works in 2015 with Oscar-winning Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody before it moved to Amy Schumer in 2016 who was set to star and co-write. She dropped out in 2017 and later said: “They definitely didn’t want to do it the way I wanted to do it, the only way I was interested in doing it.

I actually have a hard time believing that Robbie runs up against hard nos very often. Not because of her looks—she’s stunning, yes, that song’s been sung ad nauseam—but because of the stories I’ve heard about her tenacity. Her first big job, on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, was supposed to be a guest stint, but she made such an impression that they kept her for three years.

Robbie got her breakout role in The Wolf of Wall Street in part because she had the chutzpah to slap Leonardo DiCaprio during the audition. And she wrote an unsolicited letter to Quentin Tarantino saying she hoped to work with him one day, eventually finding herself on the set of Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood.

Everyone I speak to about Robbie emphasizes her work ethic. “Her superpower and the thing that makes her a once-in-a-generation talent is that she can do everything,” says Christina Hodson, a good friend and the writer of the 2020 Suicide Squad spin-off Birds of Prey. “If you watch Margot learn a new skill, it’s pretty terrifying.

When we did stunts for Birds of Prey, the stunt teams would show something to her once. She tries it once, and by the second time, she’s better than them.” Robbie’s I, Tonya costar Allison Janney has said she reminds her of Katharine Hepburn, who put together The Philadelphia Story herself when she felt she wasn’t getting the roles she deserved.

Martin Scorsese says she reminds him of two legends, Carole Lombard and Joan Crawford: “Like Lombard, she’s vivacious, strikingly beautiful, and she has a great sense of humor, about herself most of all. Like Crawford, she’s completely grounded and instantly commanding—she enters the frame and you pay attention to her.”
