Barbie Fans Are Obsessed Over One Key Detail Margot Robbie's Poster Got Just Right

July can’t come soon enough for all of us to see Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and the ultra-pink Barbie World she lives in. From the best Barbiecore fashions to the casting of Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and others, it looks like the Lady Bird director delved deep into the world of the Mattel Inc. doll and will make Barbie fans proud. As fans build up their anticipation of the Barbie movie, they saw a key detail that one of the film’s posters got right and now we can’t unsee it.

As soon as the first look of Barbie came out, you knew that Greta Gerwig was on point with the details. Margot Robbie’s platinum blonde hair, her vibrant smile, and cruising around in her pink car. Other than the stellar casting and the movie providing us with a strong glimpse into the Barbie World, one fan tweeted about this tiny detail in one of the posters that remind us that Barbie is first and foremost a doll.

Take a good look at how her hand is on the wheel. She’s not wrapping her fingers around it. Those digits of hers are being held straight out just like a doll’s would. So something tells me Barbie flipping her car in the movie's teaser trailer wasn't just because she was surprised Ken was hiding in the back seat. With 9,103 retweets and 106.1K likes on it, fans are catching on to these doll-like gestures. Another fan’s Twitter post also revealed a hidden detail in one of the promo photos of a hand gesture resembling a plastic figurine.

That folded hand is now just as noticeable as Margot Robbie's praiseworthy feet shown time and time again in the trailers. Could this be a coincidence or a purposeful action that the comedy’s A+ choice director picked out? This Twitter user was asking the same question.

If the About Time actress really did get training to portray a doll, it shows that we’ll actually be seeing these talented actors portray more than just ab-flexing, smiley, fashion-ensemble figures. These will be dolls we’ll be watching which will be a hilarious contrast to see once Barbie and Ken venture off into the human world. While that one Twitter user showed us how Barbie’s hand looked not-so-holding the wheel, there’s another limb movement that Robbie was showing in that same poster pointed out by a different Twitter photo.

All of these key details that fans are obsessing over in terms of the Barbie movie remind us that this 2023 movie release is about dolls showing us that living plastic is fantastic. Not humans. Get ready to watch these figurine characters this summer in theaters on July 21st.
