Warner Bros. has set a July 21, 2023 release date for the upcoming “Barbie” movie, directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie as the iconic Mattel doll. Those in the CinemaCon crowd also got a quick first look at Robbie as Barbie in the film, and you can see that first look below.
The film will open alongside Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” from Universal and one week ahead of Marvel’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.”
Gerwig co-wrote the screenplay for the film with Noah Baumbach, and it marks her third solo feature directorial effort following 2017’s “Lady Bird” and 2019’s “Little Women,” both of which earned Oscar nominations for Best Picture.
