'Barbie' Teaser: 'Giant' Margot Robbie shows Life in Plastic is 'fantastic' in Greta Gerwig's homage to Stanley Kubrick

The first teaser trailer for Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie' has finally released and it has already made fans excited

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: There’s a lot of anticipation for the live-action movie based on ‘Barbie’ and fans are eagerly waiting for the trailer to arrive. It was reported that the first footage from the movie was leaked online after it was shown ahead of ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ in theatres. The footage was taken down from social media and Warner Bros. announced that it will be releasing the clip really soon. The day has finally come and we have the teaser trailer for Greta Gerwig’s live-action movie titled ‘Barbie’.

The clip starts with beautiful shots of the sunset over what looks like a canyon. A few seconds later, we see two little girls playing with their respective dolls that look old and weary. After playing with their dolls, they sleep with their respective dolls when one of them realizes that someone huge is standing in front of them. The children look really small in front of that gigantic feature and they touch her legs, which feel really smooth to them. They are startled by her. The clip continues with a full look at Margot Robbie’s version of Barbie who looks all glammed-up while donning a beautiful black-and-white dress, and black heels.
