On Tuesday, the official social media accounts for Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Barbie movie released a series of character posters for the film, showcasing a wide variety of actors playing different variations of Barbies, Kens and regular humans throughout the film.


Notably, singer Dua Lipa, 27, is featured as a mermaid-inspired Barbie doll in the new movie, seemingly confirming months-long rumors regarding Lipa’s appearance in the upcoming film.


“This Barbie is a mermaid!! #BarbieTheMovie” the “Levitating” singer, 27, captioned an Instagram post sharing the movie poster, adding heart, mermaid and wave emojis.


Dua 27, poses in a long, wavy blue wig and a metallic blue shell top in the movie poster, adding what appears to be a blue-and-white mermaid tail on bottom.


The movie’s official social media accounts also shared posters for Margot Robbie, 32, as the main Barbie and Ryan Gosling, 42, as the original Ken, along with other co-stars such as Issa Rae, Nicola Coughlan, Hari Nef, Kate McKinnon, Emma Mackey and more as different versions of the doll and various Kens, including Simu Liu.


Other surprise stars include Michael Cera, America Ferrera, Helen Mirren, Will Ferrell and more.


Alternate versions of both Barbie and Ken were teased in the first teaser trailer for the film released in December, and Tuesday’s character posters reveal also show off Kate McKinnon, Ncuti Gatwa, Nicola Coughlan, Alexandra Shipp, Ritu Arya, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Hari Nef, Emma Mackey, Ana Cruz Kayne, Scott Evans and Sharon Rooney as alternate versions of each character.


Each Barbie variation appears to be tied to an occupation or lifestyle — Lipa is a mermaid; Mackey’s Barbie “has a Nobel Prize in physics”; each Ken is described as yet another Ken.


Some of the posters broke form; Michael Cera is introduced as Allan and Emerald Fennell as Midge, both based on other Mattel dolls of the same name.
