The film stars Margot Robbie as Barbie, and co-stars Ryan Gosling, Issa Rae, Liu and many others.
On his Instagram account, Liu shared images from the teaser trailer with the caption, “can’t wait for you guys to see what we made. #barbiethemovie drops in theatres summer 2023 ✨.”
He added, “(last slide is the best).”
At the very end of the slideshow, Liu included a side-by-side image of himself in the teaser striking a dance pose, alongside an old stock image photo in which he is doing a similar pose.
Liu has joked about being featured in stock images in the past, including in response to critics of “Shang-Chi”.

Call @Alanis Morissette because I just died from irony. I did a stock photo shoot in 2014 and it ended up here. I used to be an accountant. pic.twitter.com/2spNQuG4MH
