The plot of the upcoming film, directed by Greta Gerwig, is still tightly under wraps. However, it was revealed in May that “Barbie” will have three versions of Ken, with Simu Liu being one of them.
The Marvel actor, who has previously described the project as “wild” and “incredibly unique,” can be seen in the new teaser trailer dancing in front of a bright blue background while wearing a black T-shirt, black pants, black shoes and hot pink socks.
In addition to Robbie, Gosling and Liu, the live-action movie will also feature several other actors, including America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Ariana Greenblatt, Alexandra Shipp, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Emma Mackey, Michael Cera, Rhea Perlman and Will Ferrell.
“Barbie” is set to hit cinemas on July 21, 2023.
