Robbie also disclosed that director Greta Gerwig was her own choice. Initially, Gerwig only wanted to be involved as a screenwriter, but Robbie insisted on her directing and even offered to not act as Barbie, to which Gerwig replied, 'No, I want you to play Barbie.'

The production process of 'Barbie' was tumultuous, experiencing several changes in the lead role until Robbie decided to take on the role of both lead actress and producer. She brought on Greta Gerwig as the director and together, they faced various doubts from major studios and toy company Mattel, convincing them that a movie portraying a female-centered story could also be successful. In the real world, one can only build their own paradise.
