Warner Bros. Pictures released the final trailer for Greta Gerwig’s Barbie yesterday, giving us a more detailed understanding of the film’s plot and a much deeper insight into Barbie and Ken. At the time of the cast announcement, people were just as confused to hear that Ryan Gosling would play Ken as they were happy to see Margot Robbie in the titular role.
However, with every new film footage spread between two trailers, fans have continued to fall in love with Gosling’s Ken, outdoing their skepticism with a grand gesture of support.
After the trailer debuted on YouTube, viewers have taken to social media to shower their love for the cheery and innocently naive Ken, claiming Ryan’s “kenergy” is “off the charts.”
Before I tag some of the original fan tweets from Twitter below, I’ll leave the latest trailer of Barbie for you to watch and join the parade:
Now that you’ve viewed the teaser for Greta’s next masterpiece, let’s proceed to appreciate the man that is Ryan Gosling as Just Ken!

Ryan Gosling’s decision, which could be on Greta Gerwig’s command, to play Ken as the clueless yet pure soul coupled with his easy and undeniable charm makes him perfect for the role. Though the early days of his reveal as Ken were rough, with people saying that’s a bad call, the current consensus remains overly positive.
Even though it’s Barbie’s film, we can expect the director to give Ken such a story that carves a space in all our hearts. His rivalry with Simu Liu’s Ken, his relationship with Barbie, and his real-world experiences, coupled with Gosling’s talented performance, will surely be a treat.
On a scale of one to ten, how excited are you for Barbie’s global premiere on July 21, 2023? If your answer isn’t ele-Ken, we can’t be friends! Drop your ratings below and stay tuned to Cine Dope for more.
