There is not a single doubt that Anne Hathaway is one of the most loved actresses in the world of entertainment, film and entertainment, as well as having an incalculable, unrivaled and acclaimed talent, she also has one of the most beautiful female faces, as per the preferences of the public . Although she is regularly associated with her princess persona of hers, such as in the movie ‘The Princess Diaries’, many once dreamed of becoming a Barbie and she wasn’t that far from happening.
Anne Hathaway could have been Barbie and acted in live action which are now in the hands of Margot Robbie and which will be released in international cinemas. It is no longer a secret that the actress who also plays Harley Quinn for the DC universe was not the main choice, and neither was the protagonist of ‘The Devil Wears Fashion’, initially the choice was Amy Schumer.
Schumer’s plans have changed after he revealed reasons for his departure from the ambitious project due to creative differences with the production company. Thus, with Amy gone, the face chosen and considered perfect to remain with the protagonist in the live action version of ‘Barbie’ for the cinema was that of Hathaway, who was ultimately excluded from the film for one reason only.
It wasn’t actually her who decided to be out of the project. The reason why Anne Hathaway is left without being BarbieIt got out of hand, due to Sony’s long hiatus in production, and eventually the rights were acquired by Warner Bros., later the chosen one was Robbie and he started with the plan to bring the story of the best- sell doll from Mattel to the big screen.
Anne Hathaway hasn’t spoken about the plans they had with her picture, but due to rights issues, the opportunity was stolen when Warner’s favorite for the character was Margot Robbie, who she would eventually pair with Ryan Gosling as Ken. Though Hathaway came close to realizing that dream in 2017 when Sony considered her the second option to play Barbie in a live action that never came to fruition.
