Saoirse Ronan And Timothée Chalamet would have cameos in Barbie, and make the details Us even sadder that it didn’t happen.
‘I do not know what [Timothée] that would be true, but I would definitely become a weird Barbie,” Ronan, 29, shared Variety in an interview on Saturday, January 20 at the Sundance Film Festival. “I don’t know how to take that. I mean, I would have been there Kate McKinnon, so that would have been nice. … I had a scene, but I never got to do it, and it wasn’t in the movie.
She continued, “I can’t even remember it now, but it was weird. I think I would be the strange girl who talked to herself and always had her dog with her, always talking to the dog and not looking at anyone.
Chalamet, 28, and Ronan both starred in the directorial Greta Gerwig‘Oscar-nominated films Lady Bird And Little women. She hoped to reunite with the duo for a third time.
It seems like Barbie has it all – girl power, lots of laughs, more shades of pink than any of us knew existed – but director Greta Gerwig had to cut a few things from the massive blockbuster. Allan’s ‘Jaws’-inspired scene Gerwig filmed a scene that paid tribute to Steven Spielberg’s classic film. “We made this recording […]
“I tried to get them both in there. I really did that, but neither of them could do it,” said 40-year-old Gerwig Hollywood first look in July. “It was kind of a planning issue. She was actually producing, so that was great, good for her. But I tried to get them. It makes me feel like without my – they feel like my children.”

“There was an idea for Saoirse Ronan and me to do a cameo in it,” Chalamet explains. “I don’t know what the cameo would have been. I think it would have been one of the rejected Kens or Barbies. Not Alan! But something. Maybe there was a rejected Frenchman along the way.”
Although filming a scene was not possible, he was allowed to visit Gerwig briefly on set Barbie. “When I was ready Wonkathey were – the Barbie set was built,” he said, noting that he went from one fantastic country to another.
Greta Gerwig’s Barbie Movie is considered an adapted screenplay rather than an original. Variety reported on Thursday, January 4, that the Executive Committee of the Writers Branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has made the decision that Barbie will be eligible for voting for Best Adapted Screenplay instead of Original Screenplay.

They certainly weren’t the only stars who couldn’t make it to the doom. Barbie casting director Allison Jones told Vanity fair last year that Bowen Yang, Dan Levy And Ben Platt all had to turn down Kens’ role due to logistics. “They were — I’m not kidding — really disappointed that they couldn’t do it,” Jones said.
Meanwhile, Allan was almost played Jonathan Groff rather than Michael Cera. “Dear, dear Jonathan Groff said, ‘I can’t believe I’m typing this, but I can’t do Allan,’” Jones added.
Luckily with a cast that was there Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera And Will Ferrell, Barbie no shortage of stars.
