Amy Schumer was originally supposed to play “Barbie”

I think it depends wholly on how the character is written.

Of course, there is the obvious problem with appearance, but in a movie that discrepancy may actually have been beneficial. I don't like Schumer or her humor all that much, but she does play well in certain types of roles.

Margot Robbie is a much better fit. No-one wants that fat, ugly, disgusting and untalented cunt Amy Schumer playing Barbie.

Fat Barbie could actually have been a good movie.

Schumer isn't Barbie in the way that Robbie is, but I'm not sure anyone wants to watch 2 hours of a fat, foul mouthed, farting, ass-crack picking Barbie. For that, you could get Jennifer Lawrence. Robbie is beautiful, but also has the ability to be clever & funny. I'm less concerned about Barbie than it was written by Gerwig & Baumbach

So who would’ve been Amy’s Ken? Bowen Yang?

Fraus would attend for Schumer.

That would've been Grease level of comedy.

Is Hollywood deliberately giving the public miscast entertainment, just so it can scream and whine who was / is miscast?

A heavily edited Jocelyn Wildenstein is the obvious and only choice for this role.

Barbie gone to seed could have been an interesting movie.

It would have been the same, except Barbie would be ugly

Barbie: Depression Sucks

A24 Films

When Barbie finally realizes that Ken is gay, she gets depressed and faces her most regretful moments where she gave up on real love, fame, and career for a happy ending with Ken.

Barboon is more like it!

She decided she was a better fit for the cabbage patch kids movie.

I agree with R1 - it would just be an entirely different film. The whole point of Barbie (and Ken) traditionally is that they are absolutely picture-perfect. Bomer would have been the obvious choice for Ken. The way Ken was cast, they honestly might as well have cast Schumer too.

R13 you mean Garbage Pail Kids movie?

Xavier Roberts wouldn’t put his tramp stamp on that mucoid heifer Schumer.

Matt Bomer looks plastic now. Can we stop pretending he’s still in his 20s and hasn’t had work done?

I love Margo but a non perfect Barbie would be funny.

R17 I think it would be a very different movie but funny. It sort of depends on the current script and Robbie’s comedic timing.

Schumer would make a good Skipper.

Julia Roberts would've been more convincing as Harriet Tubman.

I’m kinda loving the idea of Schumer as Barbie, returning to Malibu after some time off.

“But guys wait, it’s me, Barbie!”

Barbantuan

The film is going to bomb regardless.

Haven't heard from Big Ames in a while, what's she been up to?

To be fair, she has more charisma and stage presence than Margot. The way Meat Loaf had more than Shawn Mendes does.

[quote]Schumer would make a good Skipper.

Unless you mean a remake of Gilligan's Island, no.

Barbie would be smarmy.

She would have been wonderful as Klaus Barbie.

First, There was Malibu Barbie.

Amy could be Joke Thief Barbie.

It would've been like Rosie playing Betty Rubble. Not bad, yet still bizarre.

Amazing that Robbie would want to do it. Isn’t that admitting that her plastic surgery has rendered her totally plastic?

Kellyanne Conway would make a great bitchy Barbie...or maybe "Cougar Barbie."

Schumer could be a good "Cabbage Patch Barbie."

Ivanka could be "Complicit Barbie."

R11 I would pay to see that
