Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Barbie movie's joke about Zack Snyder's Justice League was almost a reference to a different director's cut with a cameo from the filmmaker. Directed by Greta Gerwig and co-written by Noah Baumbach, the film follows Margot Robbie's Stereotypical Barbie and Ryan Gosling's Ken as they leave the matriarchal utopia of Barbieland in search of self-discovery in the real world.
During a recent Q&A at the WGA West headquarters , co-writers Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach revealed that the Barbie movie's joke about Zack Snyder's Justice League was almost a reference to a different director's cut – Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, poking fun at how it added scenes to make it more obvious that Deckard was a replicant and removed the voice-over. In an early draft of Barbie, Ridley Scott himself was even supposed to make a cameo.
Gerwig: One of the Barbies says to Ken, "Oh my god, I never would have realized that Deckard was a replicant." Then when she gets unbrainwashed, there’s a version where she said, "I liked the voiceover. I needed it to help me understand what was happening. Nobody’s following this."Baumbach: It wasn’t making fun of him. We loved him as we love all of our references.Gerwig: Every reference we had was out of love. We love Sly Stallone. Everything was a lighters-up tribute.
The Barbie Movie's Snyder Cut Joke Explained With a subversive script by Gerwig and Baumbach, the Barbie movie makes references to a number of movies, including its opening parody of 2001: A Space Odyssey and a joke about The Godfather. One of the most memorable though is the swipe at Zack Snyder's Justice League given it was just recently released in 2021.
After the joke drew the ire of the passionate Snyder fandom, Gerwig responded in a previous interview. The director said she doesn't "have a dog in this fight" and didn't even know all the "ins and outs" of the Synder Cut movement when she wrote the joke. This, as Gerwig explains, was merely meant to signify the shifting states of Shipp’s character.
