Everyone has been buzzing over Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in set photos from Barbie, but we’ve yet to see more of her cast mates in the film. The great thing is, we now have a look at Will Ferrell in the film, and it looks like he’s a business mogul out to get Barbie.
Check these photos of Ferell out:

For context, some new set photos have Barbie and Ken going around in roller skates, and it’s possible that Ferrell in this scene—in typical cartoon villain fashion— is going to be chasing them down in skates as well.

No official details have been revealed about Ferrell’s character in the film, but a rumor is going around that he is playing the CEO of a toy company that may or may not be Mattel. If you ask me, it feels like a mix of two of his previous roles, one being President Business from the LEGO Movie and the other being fashion mogul Mugatu from Zoolander.
Hopefully we get to see Ferrell in some wacky outfits besides this suit with the pink shirt.
Barbie is set for a release late next year, so we’ll have to wait for a while before we can get our first trailer. With Barbie being such a huge icon, I bet Mattel would want to start teasing the film officially before the year ends. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Catch Barbie when it hits theaters on July 21, 2023.
