AsBarbieis almost ready to splash the “pink” all over our eyes this July 21, we’re getting a stacked star cast with our favorite doll Margot Robbie in all her glitz as the titular character. With Ryan Reynolds, Simu Liu, Emma Mackey, and Will Ferrel, director Greta Gerwig wanted to stuff two more of her favorite young actors, but they both allegedly couldn’t agree to it.
They were none other than theLady Birdfriends of Gerwig, Timothée Chalamet, and Saoirse Ronan. Both the Oscar-nominated actors are a class apart in their craft, and fans would have absolutely loved seeing Ronan and Chalamet take on some version ofBarbieand Ken.
Although Margot Robbie has never worked with Chalamet, she has collaborated with Ronan inMary Queen of Scots.Both actresses exuberate a sense of royalty in their on-screen presence and it would have been phenomenal to see them work again asBarbiesisters.

Margot Robbie Almost Had Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan As Her Barbie Friends
Director Greta Gerwig has proven with her directorial debutLady Birdthat she can handle a multi-star cast with ease. The trio has worked together and with an experience like that, they could have collaborated again.
In her conversation with Cinema Blend, Gerwig revealed how badly she wanted both the actors to join her in this journey.
“Well, it was always going to have to be like a sort of smaller thing because she was actually producing at the time, which I am so proud of her for. And of course, it’s brilliant. But it was going to be a specialty cameo. I was also going to do a specialty cameo with Timmy, and both of them couldn’t do it, and I was so annoyed. But I love them so much. But it felt like doing something without my children. I mean, I’m not their mom, but I sort of feel like their mom.”
With that specialty cameo, Ronan shared earlier this year that she could have been an amazing addition toBarbieLand with her close friendMargot Robbieand they could have packed a punch!

Hollywood can’t letTimothée Chalamet’s mythical face and intense acting go to waste. His schedule is quite packed as he is coming back as Paul Atreides in the second installment ofDunecoming this November. Not just that, but he will be taking us all to the Chocolate factory inWonkain December.
Saoirse Ronan on the other hand is exploring her production capabilities with her filmOutrun.As the film is in post-production, she had to sadly let go of her chance to become aBarbiedoll.
