Development of a film based on the Barbie toyline began in April 2014, when Mattel teamed with Sony Pictures to produce the project, which would have Jenny Bicks writing the screenplay and Laurie Macdonald and Walter F. Parkes producing through their Parkes+MacDonald Image Nation banner. Filming at the time was anticipated to begin by the end of the year.^[1] In March 2015, Diablo Cody was brought onto the project to rewrite the screenplay, and Amy Pascal joined the producing team.^[2] Sony would again have rewrites done to the screenplay later that year, hiring Lindsey Beer, Bert V. Royal and Hilary Winston to write drafts.^[3]

In December 2016, Amy Schumer entered negotiations to star in the title role, with the Winston screenplay being used that would be rewritten by Winston and her sister Kim Caramele.^[4] In March 2017, due to scheduling conflicts with the planned June 2017 filming start, Schumer exited negotiations.^[5] In July 2017, Anne Hathaway began circling the title role, with Sony hiring Olivia Milch to rewrite the screenplay and approaching Alethea Jones to direct as a means to interest Hathaway into signing on.^[6] Jones was attached to direct by March 2018.^[7] However, the expiration of Sony's option on the project in October 2018 and its transfer to Warner Bros. Pictures would see the departures of Hathaway, Jones, Macdonald, Parkes, and Pascal. Margot Robbie would enter early talks for the role, with Patty Jenkins briefly circling the director position.^[8] Robbie's casting was confirmed in July 2019, with Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach now writing the screenplay.^[9] Gerwig officially signed on to direct the film in July 2021.^[10] Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Robbie said the film's goal was to subvert expectations:
