Greta Gerwig’s Barbie isn’t due out for another year, but new images from set are fanning the fandom flames.
Something about the pink-permeated promo images for the upcoming movie already had the girls, gays, and theys in a chokehold — especially that one of Ryan Gosling as Ken looking like the ONLY rent boy.

Now, new behind-the-scenes candids from various paparazzo are hitting socials and folks are eating them up.
Between general fangirling and calling Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in their flairful western garb everything from Orville Peck to Sharpay Evans, the Barbie groundswell is too real.

No one has any idea what they’re going for with this. But it certainly has some pedigree in front of and behind the camera. I’m guessing it’ll be a semi-serious satire.
