Dua Lipa, the chart-topping pop star is set to star in the new Barbie moving alongside Hollywood A-listers Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in the screen adaptation. Promotional material for the movies has already been made public where the 26-year-old is set to appear on the silver screen of the film and is to release in July 2023.
Margot Robbie’s picture, who will play the title character, driving a pink Cadillac has recently been used in promotion of the movie. The actress can be seen wearing a striped blue dress, a matching head band and a blue bracelet as she beams from the driver’s seat.
The movie production is planned to begin in the UK this year and Albanian-born Dua will reportedly be joining the fun.
As an insider spoke to The Sun about her exciting new venture: “Dua is making waves in both music and movies. She really impressed in Argylle and word spread around Hollywood about how good she was.” They continued: “Now she has joined the cast of Barbie alongside big names including Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Will Ferrell and Saoirse Ronan. Although Argylle is a big film in its own right, Barbie will be a breakthrough part for Dua because there is so much hype around it.” The source ended by saying: “Dua is quickly proving there is far more to her than just being a pop star. She has an exciting future ahead of her in films.”
Aside from working next to huge stars for the upcoming flick, Dua has been busy focussing on her music career. The singer kicked off her Future Nostalgia tour back in February and admitted recently that her third album is being finalised and almost to be finished.
