Barbie and Ken return — brighter, braver, and more gloriously confused by reality than ever. In Barbie 2: Dreamers in the Real World (2026), Barbie Land is thriving… but the real world isn’t done with Barbie just yet.

When a strange ripple of “lost imagination” begins spreading across the human world — causing people to lose creativity, passion, and joy — Barbie is chosen by the Council of Barbies to investigate. This time, she’s not just stepping into the real world… she’s stepping into its problems.

Margot Robbie brings warmth, humor, and iconic sparkle as Barbie tries to rekindle imagination in a world obsessed with practicality. Issa Rae returns as President Barbie, guiding Barbie on her mission with hilarious leadership energy. Kate McKinnon steals scenes once again as Weird Barbie, whose unpredictable wisdom becomes the key to understanding the crisis.

And of course — Ken insists on coming along. Whether he was invited or not is… debatable.

As Barbie and Ken explore cities, classrooms, offices, and homes, they meet humans who’ve forgotten how to dream. Barbie helps them rediscover creativity, while Ken stumbles into accidental heroism (and a few deeply confusing existential crises). But a mysterious corporation is quietly draining imagination for profit, and Barbie must decide: can she save humanity without losing her own sense of self again?

Colorful, heartfelt, and riotously funny, Barbie 2 (2026) celebrates imagination, identity, and the power of believing in things that feel too bright for the real world.

Because sometimes the world needs a little pink magic — and sometimes, Barbie needs the world too.
