Amy Schumer was the first to play blonde doll in 'Barbie'
Schumer was first set to play the blonde doll in an earlier version of the film but exited the project in 2017 due to scheduling conflicts.
But last year, the 'Trainwreck' star clarified that it was also due to creative differences.
"They definitely didn't want to do it the way I wanted to do it," she told The Hollywood Reporter in March 2022, adding "the only way I was interested in doing it."
"But there's a new team behind and it looks like it's very feminist and cool," she added on 'Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen' in June. "So, I will be seeing that movie," she noted.
