Margot Robbie is getting dolled up.

 

The 28-year-old Australian actress is the latest Hollywood A-list star to consider playing the iconic children’s doll in an upcoming live-action film, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Robbie’s attachment to the film comes after Amy Schumer departed the project over scheduling conflicts in March 2017, Variety reported.

In a statement to the publication, Schumer said, “Sadly, I’m no longer able to commit to Barbie due to scheduling conflicts. The film has so much promise, and Sony and Mattel have been great partners.”

“I’m bummed, but look forward to seeing Barbie on the big screen,” she added.
