“When you look on the page, the nuance isn’t there, the delivery isn’t there,” Robbie said.

While the scene in question was not disclosed, Dickson’s concern is further proof that the upcoming Barbie movie isn’t just a sanitized love letter to the famous doll. As the film’s trailer says point blank: “If you love Barbie, this movie is for you. If you hate Barbie, this movie is for you.”

“In that very first meeting, we impressed upon Ynon we are going to honor the legacy of your brand, but if we don’t acknowledge certain things — if we don’t say it, someone else is going to say it,” Robbie said. “So you might as well be a part of that conversation.”

Part of the vision was ensuring that Robbie was not the only Barbie in the movie. Robbie has the stereotypical Barbie look, but the movie had to drive home the point that there’s no one way to be Barbie.

“Barbie” is one of the most anticipated movies of the summer, and Ynon told Time that he is already excited about the possibility of “more Barbie movies.” Robbie, however, says not so fast.

“It could go a million different directions from this point,” Robbie said about the future of the “Barbie” movie franchise. “But I think you fall into a bit of a trap if you try and set up a first movie whilst also planning for sequels.”

Barbie opens in theaters nationwide July 21 from Warner Bros.
