Ryan Gosling in Talks to Play Ken Opposite Margot Robbie's Barbie in Warner Bros. and Mattel Movie

Ryan Gosling is reportedly close to signing on star in the upcoming "Barbie" movie from Warner Bros. and Mattel. The film will be directed by Greta Gerwig, who also co-wrote the script with Noah Baumbach, and it also stars Margot Robbie in the titular role.

If the deal goes through, Gosling will play Ken. Given his busy schedule, Gosling initially passed on playing the part, but as pre-production dragged out and the studio remained persistent with him being their only choice, an opening in his schedule appeared, allowing him to sign on.

Plot details are unknown at this time. Filming is expected to begin early 2022 at WB's Leavesden Studios in London, with a planned 2023 theatrical release. Robbie is also producing the movie under her LuckyChap Entertainment banner.

Gosling recently wrapped production on the Netflix action film "The Gray Man", in which he stars opposite Chris Evans with the Russo brothers directing.
