TWO Scots actors have been featured in the latest posters for an upcoming Hollywood film telling the story of the world’s most famous doll.
Scottish stars Ncuti Gatwa and Sharon Rooney are set to feature alongside Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and Helen Mirren in the Barbie movie set for release later this year.
Rooney, who made a name for herself in the Scots comedy Two Doors Down and the Channel 4 series My Mad Fat Diary, is set to play a Barbie who is also a lawyer.
Gatwa - who is set to play Dr Who in the upcoming TV series - will play Barbie’s famous love interest Ken (who is also being played by Ryan Gosling).
After it was revealed she was involved in the project last year, Glasgow-born actress Rooney described it as a “dream come true”.
She said: "Don’t let me ever hear you say dreams don’t come true because they do!
"So buy that hot pink power suit and go for your dreams because magic things happen when you believe in YOU! Barbie, the best adventure yet."
The film, directed by Greta Gerwig, is set for release in the UK on July 21.
It has also been revealed that pop star Dua Lipa will be part of the project and record an original song for its release.
Much of the plot of the film is still under wraps however it is believed to be a romantic comedy following what happens when Robbie and Gosling’s characters stumble into the real world.
