Margot Robbie SLAPS a handsy character while rollerblading with Ryan Gosling on Barbie

Production continued on Warner Bros.’ Barbie on Tuesday, with one scene showing that Barbie is definitely ready to defend herself.

Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were spotted in their matching pink outfits yet again as they filmed more rollerblading scenes on the Venice Beach boardwalk on Tuesday.

This particular scene, though, took quite a turn, as she turns and punches a handsy frat boy character after he smacks her behind. 

Robbie was wearing her pink one-piece swimsuit over hot pink biker shorts with neon green elbow pads, kneepads and rollerblades.

The handsy stranger was wearing a backwards blue baseball cap with a blue button down shirt and tan shorts and slip-on shoes, seen winding back to slap Barbie’s back side. 

Robbie turns and slaps the man across the face, sending the man to the concrete boardwalk.

The man’s hat was seen flying off as he fell to the ground after Barbie slapped the character.

Before filming the scene, Robbie was seen measuring up the shot with the actor, with several other crew members nearby. 

Another angle showed Barbie’s shocked expression after slapping the man, as he begins to fall. 

Little has been revealed about the story, though Robbie and Gosling lead quite an immense cast. 

Will Ferrell – who was also seen on skates just days ago – also stars alongside Simu Liu, America Ferrera, Michael Cera, Kate McKinnon and Alexandra Shipp.

Promising Young Woman writer-director Emerald Fennell also has a role alongside Rhea Perlman, Kingsley Ben-Adir and Ariana Greenblatt. 

Greta Gerwig (Little Women) is directing the Barbie movie from a script she co-wrote with Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story).

Robbie is also producing the film through her LuckyChap Entertainment company, along with Tom Ackerley, Robbie Brenner, David Heyman, Ynon Kreiz and Josey McNamara.

Warner Bros. will release Barbie on July 21, 2023, opening alongside Universal Pictures’ Oppenheimer.
