Following the release of posters, fans choose their best version of Ken in place of Ryan Gosling and Simu Liu.

Just One Day After Poster Drop, Fans Are Already Picking Their Alternate Ken for Barbie, Instead of Ryan Gosling and Simu Liu

Greta Gerwig has been sending shockwaves through the internet for several months
now. Without disclosing the tiniest details about the first live adaptation of
kids’ toys, Barbie has created much hype. Besides some of the glimpses of Ryan
Gosling and Margot Robbie from the set, we have got nothing. There is only word
spread around that the movie has a large cast of celebrities taking different
versions of Barbie and Ken. In all these months of speculations and rumors, fans
got to see all these actors for the first time in the posters dropped on social
media. People are now choosing their favorite alternative for the male leads in
the movie.

Fans who regularly remain active on Twitter might have come across some
incredible posters of different Kens. The picture includes actors like Ryan
Gosling, Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Connor Swindells, Ncuti Gatwa, and Scott
Evans. So taking those posters, Pop Base recently started a game on Twitter
asking fans who would they cast as another Ken in Barbie.

Giving their two cents on the question, fans instantly flooded the comment
section with the names of their favorite male actors. Some chose Pedro Pascal,
who recently turned the internet upside down with his impeccable acting in The
Last of Us. While many shared pictures of celebrities, including Glen Powell,
Jensen Ackles, Tyler Hoechlin, Regé-Jean Page, and Dacre Montgomery, among
others.

We do not know what the story is, but these pictures did give viewers some point
of clarity about what exactly every actor looks like.

RYAN GOSLING AND SIMU LIU DON’T SEEM HARMONIOUS IN BARBIE

Following these posters, Warner Bros released the second teaser of the movie and
it has much to say. As the video introduces all the characters of Barbie on some
vacationland. However, the leading Ken played by Ryan Gosling does not seem to
like the other cool Ken aka Simu Liu. The teaser revealed that both the actors
are playing rivals in the film and might be trying to win over the beautiful
blonde girl.



Fans saw all the Barbies doing some real fun in their shiny outfits and it is
exciting how they all have jobs and identities, except Nicola Coughlan who threw
away the chance of meeting Ryan Gosling

on the set. The colorful location of an island, glamorous costumes, and sleek
hairstyles tell us why it is the most anticipated movie of the summer. Barbie is
scheduled for a release in theaters on July 21, 2023.
