Mattel, the giant toy manufacturing company best known for creating Barbie, has been having an extremely good month.
This is due to the impossible-to-miss release of Greta Gerwig’s latest film, Barbie, which sees Ryan Gosling tanned and bleached as Ken, Margot Robbie polished and shiny as Barbie, and a whole host of Hollywood’s biggest names – including Kate McKinnon, Helen Mirren, Issa Rae, Hari Nef, Emma Mackey, Nicola Coughlan, Ncuti Gatwa and Kingsley Ben-Adir – among the supporting cast.
