Schumer almost played the role of Barbie in the live-action film but stepped down.

Schumer and her sister, Kim Caramele, were meant to work on the film but left because of scheduling conflicts.

She left before the movie started filming, halting production until Sony could find replacements.

She later revealed that she left because she and Sony had creative differences.

Sony eventually selected Margot Robbie to act as Barbie and Greta Gerwig to direct.

Robbie said she’s excited to be in the film even though it comes with a lot of baggage.
