Kim Kardashian's next role? A villainous turn in the 'Bratz' film
Kim Kardashian could land a role in the new "Bratz" movie, which she will also produces. Image: Instagram. Kim Kardashian is set to make a significant leap from reality television to the big screen. Reports suggest that she has been tipped for a villainous role in the upcoming live-action "Bratz" film. According to "Deadline", Amazon MGM Studios won the bid to secure the rights to this much-anticipated adaptation of the popular children's toy brand, with Kardashian and Picturestart as the producers. The screenplay is currently being penned by Charlie Polinger and Lucy McKendrick, though additional details regarding the plot and casting remain a secret. The Skims founder has previously been cast in "American Horror Story: Delicate" as Siobhan Corbyn and voiced characters in two 'Paw Patrol' movies. On the horizon, she'll lead the Netflix comedy "The Fifth Wheel" from director Eva Longoria and will appear in Ryan Murphy's new drama "All Is Fair", which will stream on Disney+. The Bratz franchise, which has sold over 200 million dolls since its inception in 2001, is aiming to capture a portion of the explosive success seen by the recent "Barbie" film, which raked in a staggering $1.44 billion this year alone. This resurgence of interest in toys on the big screen means Hollywood is mining its archives for nostalgic gold, with upcoming films based on toys like Hot Wheels and Polly Pockets currently in the works.

Reality TV Star Had A Sex Tape, Has 356 Million Instagram Followers... Will Play Villain In Film
Last Updated: Kim Kardashian will be involved in the Bratz movie as a producer, but insiders claim she is wanting to portray the antagonist in the project. Kim Kardashian is set to play the villain in the Bratz movie. The 44-year-old star will be involved in the film as a producer, but insiders claim Kim Kardashian is wanted to portray the antagonist in the project, for which Amazon MGM won a competitive bidding war. The live-action movie about the toy dolls will be written by Charlie Polinger and Lucy McKendrick, alongside Erik Feig and Julia Hammer for Picturestart, while Kim will produce the film with Jason and Jasmin Larian for MGA Entertainment. No further details about the film's cast or plot have been released yet. It is hoped that the Bratz film can replicate the success of 2023's Barbie, which grossed over $1 billion at the box office. It joins film versions of children's toys like Polly Pocket, Barney, and Hot Wheels, which are currently in development at various Hollywood studios. Bratz has sold over 200 million dolls since 2001, and Amazon MGM claims that the toys have the highest social media engagement across all platforms of any toy brand. However, this does not guarantee success on the big screen, as a 2007 Lionsgate Bratz film disappointed at the box office. Kim has stepped up her acting career recently with a central role in the upcoming legal TV series All's Fair. Her co-star Glenn Close didn't feel it was necessary to give the reality star any advice about the profession. The Fatal Attraction star, who has worked with some of Hollywood's biggest names during her career, told 'I would not presume to give Kim Kardashian advice. I think she's a very, very brilliant woman. I think she could choose to do anything she wants. 'Frankly, if she wants to be an actress, that's one road. But she could be. She's a great executive. She's a great businesswoman. She's a very involved mother. She's getting her law degree. So, I think she has huge potential and that she's already fulfilled as a woman. And frankly, I will be fascinated to see what she chooses to do." Glenn revealed that she was impressed with The Kardashians star's 'professional" approach on set as she balanced her acting work with her responsibilities as a mother and businesswoman. The 78-year-old actress said: 'First of all, she's very professional. She has an amazing ability to compartmentalise. She would be talking to her kids, studying for a law exam, then having a board meeting for Skims, and then, you know, walking on set." Close also explained that she was 'very impressed" by Kardashian as a person. She said: 'I mean, I really love her. I think she has a public image, right? I don't spend a lot of time on Instagram, but as a person, as a woman, I was very impressed." First Published: June 26, 2025, 12:07 IST
