(CNN) — More than a year before the expected release of the live-action “Barbie” film, the first official image has been released of Ryan Gosling as Barbie’s tanned, toned and plastic boyfriend, Ken.
Based on the photo, Gosling, 41, is transformed into the quintessential Ken: His skin is tinted orange, and he’s showing off an eight-pack of abs and white-blond hair. The waistband of his underpants is inexplicably emblazoned with his own name, and he’s rocking a sleeveless denim vest without a shirt in front of a Pepto-Bismol pink backdrop.
Another photo showed Margot Robbie, 31, posing in character as Barbie in her pink convertible.
The movie will be directed by Greta Gerwig (“Lady Bird,” “Little Women”) and was written by her and partner Noah Baumbach.
The sizable cast adds to the mystery of what the film could possibly be about — it includes comedians like Issa Rae and Will Ferrell as well as rising stars Hari Nef and Ncuti Gatwa. It’s rumored that some of the many cast members will be playing alternate versions of Barbie and Ken.
The scheduled release date is July 21, 2023.
