Why does this story matter?
The teaser trailer has garnered over 3.9M views in just 12 hours. It shows Barbie and Ken as "girlfriend-boyfriend," ready to spend a night together, as most couples do. There's only one confusion- they aren't sure what to do.
It then shows Ken (Gosling) and Ken (Simu Liu) getting into a fight. The nearly two-minute-long video gives a sneak peek into other characters too.
Acting debut
Dua Lipa in 'Barbie'
It is after three years since her appearance in Club Future Nostalgia, that Dua Lipa will be seen in a film. The character posters that were revealed along with the teaser trailer, show Lipa as a blue-haired mermaid doll who has a love for pearls.
Seeing her in the movie has got many fans excited, and Twitter posts are proof of that.
Chemistry
The Robbie-Gosling chemistry
One of the things that Twitter users are looking forward to is the chemistry between the blonde beauty (Robbie) and her beau, Ken (Gosling).
From their adorable romance where they speak of spending a night together to how Barbie is left disappointed when Ken joins her in the car with his rollerblades - their chemistry seems nothing less than adorable.
