This Barbie is thrilled to learn the Barbie movie’s repertoire of promotional gimmicks will now include a world tour.

The film’s leads, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, announced the surprise in a video on social media. “You don’t have to go all the way to Barbieland to hang with Barbie and Ken,” Robbie revealed.

The two actors will be hitting the road to celebrate the movie of the summer with eager fans. They will look to visit eight cities around the world for the global Barbie movie tour.

“Come see us in Toronto *pause for effect* Canada,” Gosling, our sweet Canadian Ken, proudly confirmed. Other tour stops include Sydney, Seoul, Mexico City, Los Angeles, London, Berlin, and New York.

No further details have been revealed about the tour, but it sounds like it could be in addition to the typical movie premieres and geared more towards the public rather than just for media and industry.

One thing we do know? The two actors will not pack their neon roller skates for the trip. “You know I can’t rollerblade in real life,” Gosling sheepishly whispered to Robbie.

If these tour stops will be half as fun as the banter between these two, sign us up!

In addition to a global tour, British Vogue has released new stills from the Barbie movie.

Photographed by Jaap Buitendijk, the images shed light on the role fashion and sets will play in the film. Robbie’s Barbie sports her 1950s-inspired beach look, a pink gingham sundress, as she stands on the pool’s surface — because the bright blue water is plastic!

We also get a closer look at the 1994-inspired neon roller skating costumes, the sea-worthy looks from Ken and Barbie’s travel montage, and an up-close shot of the matching cowboy/cowgirl ensembles that set the internet spiraling during filming.

Perhaps the most intriguing of the bunch is our look at Barbie’s dopey dreamboat sidekick, Ken. We see Gosling hard at work in the garage, his arm muscles smeared with grease and the car’s “Ken” license plate proudly displayed next to a horse stuffy (seemingly a key symbol of the Kens in this film).
