Mattel-backed pop-up cafes making news and pink “Barbiecore” fashion becoming a legitimate wardrobe trend. The movie is directed and co-written by the fantastic Greta Gerwig (“Lady Bird,” “Little Women”) and has a stacked cast including Ryan Gosling as Ken, Will Ferrell as a corporate CEO, Kate McKinnon from “SNL” as “Weird Barbie” and, of course, Margot Robbie as the titular toy.But, somewhat surprisingly, it’s the final name on the aforementioned list that gives me the most pause. Robbie, 32, is a phenomenal actress without a doubt, but she’s drawn to box office bombs like flies to rotting meat. Why would an actress with so much skill and appeal, as natural in prestige dramas as she is at the Met Gala, struggle so much to put butts in seats?

Brewster noted that this installment has four Oscar-winning actresses in Rita Moreno, Helen Mirren, Charlize Theron and Brie Larson.After that, Vin Diesel indeed showed up and noted that he enjoyed “this room” more than the Oscars.
