Here are 10 of those people...
1. Amy Schumer was supposed to play Margot Robbie's Barbie character.

Amy was cast as Barbie in 2016, but dropped out in 2017 due to creative differences. She told Andy Cohen last month, "I think we said it was scheduling conflicts. That’s what we said, but it really was just creative differences."
2. After Amy dropped out, Anne Hathaway was considered to be her Barbie replacement.

Casting directors Allison Jones and Lucy Bevan told Vanity Fair, "They were, I’m not kidding, really bummed they couldn’t do it."
6. Jonathan Groff almost played Michael Cera's character Allan.

Allison Jones told Vanity Fair, "Dear, dear Jonathan Groff was like, ‘I can’t believe I’m typing this, but I can’t do Allan.'"
7. Luke MacFarlane had a small part but had to turn it down

Luke auditioned for the movie and got a small part but had to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts. "We tried to make it work," he told the Hollywood Reporter.
9 and 10. Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet were supposed to "pop up" in the movie.

Saoirse and Timothée are fixtures in Greta's movies, and Greta told CinemaBlend that she worked really hard to get them in Barbie and jokingly said she was "so annoyed" when it didn't work out.
