<p>Finally, the world will see Margot Robbie in a live-action adaptation of <em>Barbie</em>. <strong>Greta Gerwig is going to be the co-writer and director of the upcoming movie.</strong> The film has been in the works for a long time now. While finally, the film is under production, did you know<strong> Amy Schumer was supposed to be the lead in the film before the <em>Suicide Squad</em> actress got the job?</strong></p>
<p>Since 2014, the film was in talks and Amy Schumer was a part of the project. However, because of some differences, the actress left the project. Now that the trailer of the film has been released, fans remembered her being a part of it.</p>

<p>Judging by the trailer, the <em>Focus</em> actress has won the hearts of the fandom.

It will also feature the <em>Spirited</em> actor, <strong>Will Ferrell,</strong> in a powerful role.

<h2><strong>Fans are divided between Margot Robbie and Amy Schumer being the lead in Barbie</strong></h2>
<p>The project which had been in talks since 2014 took inspiration from the Mattel doll. However, the concept of the first film was a lot different from the current one. Apart from the creative differences internally, <strong>the 41-year-old actress had her own issues with the project.</strong></p>
