Kim Kardashian cast as villain in Amazon MGM’s live-action Bratz movie

Kim Kardashian will play the villain in Amazon MGM’s Bratz movie, following its successful toy adaptations trend.

Kim Kardashian is set to star as the villain in Amazon MGM’s upcoming Bratz live-action movie. The project has garnered significant attention after Amazon won a bidding war for the rights, aiming to replicate the success of Barbie, which grossed $1.44 billion in 2023. While specific plot and casting details are still under wraps, the film promises to bring the iconic children’s toy brand to the big screen.

Charlie Polinger and Lucy McKendrick are writing the script for the film, with Erik Feig and Julia Hammer producing for Picturestart. Kardashian will also serve as a producer, alongside Jason Larian and Jasmin Larian from MGA Entertainment. Isaac Larian of MGA will executive produce the project.

Bratz, which has sold over 200 million dolls since its debut in 2001, remains one of the most socially engaging toy brands, according to Amazon MGM. However, translating that success into box office performance remains uncertain, particularly after the 2005 Bratz live-action film failed at the box office. The brand has also seen multiple TV series and video game adaptations over the years.

Kardashian, known for Keeping Up With the Kardashians, is expanding her presence in scripted entertainment. She recently appeared in American Horror Story alongside Emma Roberts and voiced characters in two PAW Patrol films. Additionally, she will lead Netflix’s The Fifth Wheel directed by Eva Longoria and star in Ryan Murphy's upcoming drama All Is Fair.
