Ryan Gosling is set to play Ken opposite Margot Robbie as Barbie.

It's being reported by Deadline that Ryan Gosling is in final negotiations to play Ken to Margot Robbie's Barbie, in Greta Gerwig's forthcoming big-screen adaptation - with the script co-written by Gerwig with Noah Baumbach.

Deadline say: "Given his busy schedule, Gosling initially passed on playing the part, but insiders add that as pre-production dragged out and the studio remained persistent with him being their only choice, an opening in his schedule appeared, allowing him to sign on.

With Gosling close to signing on, the film looks to be on the verge of a greenlight, and the hope would be to shoot at the top of 2022."
