Multiple sources are reporting that Warner Bros. have enlisted the services of a pair of Academy Award-nominated filmmakers in Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) and Noah Baumbach (The Meyerowitz Stories) to co-write their upcoming live-action Barbie movie, which has Margot Robbie (Birds of Prey) attached to star as the titular doll.
While it's still early in the process, the studio is also reportedly eyeing Gerwig to direct the project, which is expected to hit theaters on May 8, 2020 - one week after the rumored release date for Marvel Studios' Black Widow.
In addition to starring, Robbie will also produce the feature along with Tom Ackerly of LuckyChap Entertainment, Robbie Brenner of Mattel, Josey McNamara, and Ynon Kreiz.
