Pop star Dua Lipa has joined the cast of Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" movie, which premieres July 21st. The singer will be playing a blue-haired mermaid Barbie.

The news was announced via a series of character posters released by Warner Bros. Pictures. The posters feature a diverse cast of characters, including Will Ferrell as the CEO of Mattel, America Ferrera as Barbie's best friend, Helen Mirren as Barbie's grandmother, Issa Rae as a cowgirl Barbie, Simu Liu as a Ken doll, and Kate McKinnon as a fashion designer.

Lipa's casting as a mermaid Barbie is a nod to the iconic 1992 Barbie movie "Barbie as the Island Princess," in which Barbie played a mermaid named Rosella. The new movie is expected to be a more modern take on the classic Barbie story, and Lipa's character is sure to be a fan favorite.

The release of the character posters has generated a lot of buzz for the upcoming movie. Fans are eager to see Lipa's performance as a mermaid Barbie, and they are excited to see how the movie will reimagine the iconic doll.
