Yes, Ncuti Gatwa is in the fantasy comedy film Barbie.

"Barbie" is a 2023 movie that combines fantasy and comedy. It's inspired by the popular line of fashion dolls made by Mattel. The film is directed by Greta Gerwig, who also co-wrote it with Noah Baumbach. Margot Robbie both produces the movie and plays the main character, Barbie. David Heyman, known for his work on Harry Potter and Paddington, is also one of the producers.

What is Barbie about?

The story is about Barbie, who lives in a make-believe world called Barbieland. She starts questioning her life after experiencing some unusual events in her otherwise perfect world. This makes her decide to leave Barbieland and explore the Real World, accompanied by her friend Ken, played by Ryan Gosling. The big question is whether Barbie will find answers to her existential questions in the Real World or if Mattel will intervene and put her back in her doll world.

Ncuti Gatwa portrayed one of the Ken’s in Greta Gerwig's Barbie. He plays the role of Artist Ken in the film and in this Barbie world, Ncuti's Ken character resides alongside other Kens and, naturally, the Barbies. Notably, he is paired with his fellow Sex Education co-star, Emma Mackey, who portrays one of the Barbies in the movie.

Ncuti Gatwa shared a humorous anecdote from the film set with an Interview with Elle Magazine, recalling a moment when he was talking with Greta Gerwig, only to turn around and find himself caught in the mesmerizing gaze of Ryan Gosling.

He playfully stated, "Once, while chatting with Greta, I turned around and saw Ryan Gosling looking at me. His eyes were such a vivid blue that I lost my balance. It felt like I was drowning in his gaze." Ncuti also admitted to feeling nervous during the initial weeks of shooting Barbie but appreciated that it was the most considerate and compassionate production environment he had experienced.
