Barbie, the most anticipated movie of 2023, came out a few days ago and quickly became a huge blockbuster. Based on the iconic Mattel doll, the film stars Margot Robbie, but the truth is that another star was considered before she was cast in the lead role: Ann Hataway.

The Suicide Squad translator was not the first and only option considered for Barbie. It is known that at the beginning of the project, in 2016, Amy Schumer was an excellent choice, although a few months later the actress dropped out of the project due to creative differences with the producer.

Anne Hathaway got her chance to play Barbie in 2017.

Some changes were made to the original script, and a second version appeared in 2017. It was then that the name appeared Ann HatawayHowever, this possibility did not come true.

Remembered for her iconic roles in The Princess Diaries and The Devil Wears Fashion, the actress was already gearing up for the lead role after losing Schumer. The film was supposed to be released in August 2018 and production has begun since then.

The truth is that after some time, the development of the film was delayed until 2020. But everything remained in the freezer, and in the end, in 2021, Sony lost the rights to produce this live action.Related news

It was then that the project passed into the hands of Warnes Bros, which gave a sharp twist to the plot. Direction went from Alethea Jones to Greta Gerwig, in addition to Noah Baumbach doing the script. And there they discarded other and previous options to choose Margot Robbie.

Thus the question arises as to what it would be like to see Ann Hataway interpretation of the cult doll. And that, although she applied for the role and was selected, the project was on hold until the rights were transferred to another company, the plans changed radically.
