Saoirse Ronan reveals she was set to play "Weird Barbie" in Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie, alongside Kate McKinnon, but scheduling conflicts prevented her from filming her scene. She describes her character as a strange girl who talks to herself and her pet dog, a departure from her usual period piece roles, and expresses disappointment at not being able to bring the character to life on screen.
Mattel has released more Barbie dolls inspired by characters from the movie, including a notable doll called Weird Barbie, played by Kate McKinnon, featuring marker on the face and a haphazard haircut.
Mattel has unveiled a new doll based on Kate McKinnon's character, Weird Barbie, from the upcoming film "Barbie." The doll features facial markings, a mismatched outfit, and legs that can do the splits. McKinnon revealed that the splits were achieved through clever set design rather than her own physical abilities. The Weird Barbie doll is available for pre-order until August 18 and is expected to ship by May 31, 2024.
