Industry; she will next be seen in this summer’s season 2.
Barbie marks her biggest project yet.,Related: Seriously, Every Outfit From The Barbie Movie Is Better Than The Last,With so few details being revealed about the plot, it’s hard to determine what character Abela might be playing in
Barbie. Her new co-star Emma Mackey recently seemed to confirm the rumor that
Barbie features multiple Barbies and Kens, so it is possible that Abela might play an alternate version of the titular doll. Another possibility is that Abela’s character is evil, and that she serves Ferrell’s rumored villain. Of course, everything is speculation now, but hopefully new
