Margot has long been slated to play the world’s most famous fashion doll in a live-action movie, and in December 2020, she vowed to give audiences “something completely different.”
Opting for something a little “left,” when it comes to her portrayal of the Mattel doll, the project will be produced by LuckyChap Entertainment Company whose tagline is, “If she ain’t af**k, yeah, she ain’t.” “
