Barbie’s Snyder Cut Joke Was Almost A Different Director’s Cut (With A Major Cameo)

The Barbie movie’s joke about Zack Snyder’s Justice League was almost a reference to a different director’s cut with a cameo from the filmmaker. Directed by Greta Gerwig and co-written by Noah Baumbach, the film follows Margot Robbie’s Stereotypical Barbie and Ryan Gosling’s Ken as they leave the matriarchal utopia of Barbieland in search of self-discovery in the real world. There, Ken is delighted to learn about the patriarchy which he brings back to Barbieland and turns into his own “Kendom” by brainwashing the Barbies into subservience, which sets up the joke about the Snyder Cut.
