The hype and anticipation surrounding Barbie are enough to shoot through the roof of her Malibu Dream House. Early test screenings took place over the weekend and so far the buzz is good, both for Margot Robbie as the titular doll come to life, but also for Ryan Gosling as her forever boy-toy, Ken.
It’s Ken who gets the spotlight in a new teaser, featuring a ridiculous song titled “Just Ken”. In the movie, Ken is sorta facing an existential crisis. As you’ve no doubt noticed, he seems to be a bit clingy. So what does Ken do when faced with the possibility of not being Barbie’s boyfriend? What’s his purpose?
This is pretty silly but also brilliant, and Gosling looks like he might steal this movie away from everyone.
Barbie opens in theaters on July 21st.
