Before Margot Robbie was cast as the lead role in the Barbie movie, Amy Schumer had that part. However, the comedian dropped out of it.
Yesterday, when Amy Schumer was on Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen asked her why she walked away from it. Schumer said that it was because of creative differences and not scheduling conflicts, as her people told the press.
Then she added that the film she signed up for does not look like the one that is coming out on July 21st. Because of that, Schumer can’t wait to see it. Then she explained why it looks awesome to her as compared to the script she was given, “There’s a new team behind it, and it looks like it is very feminist and cool.”
To be honest. Whatever the reason is that she parted ways from the feature, I think it was the best thing for the project. She is no Barbie. Barbie’s funny BFF, but not the coolest doll in the toy store.
