Kim Kardashian to Produce and Portray Villain in Amazon’s Live-Action Bratz Film
I suppose it needs spelling out, so here it is: Kim Kardashian is about to swap her reality-TV crown for a movie-villain tiara in the upcoming live-action Bratz adaptation. You probably thought she’d just show up in a cameo, but insiders tell TMZ that she’s been tapped to play the main antagonist—and she’s not stopping there. Amazon MGM snapped up rights to the project after a fierce bidding war, and Kim’s name tops the production credits alongside Picturestart’s Erik Feig and Julia Hammer.
According to industry whispers shared with Variety, Kardashian will pull double duty as both lead baddie and producer, working hand in hand with MGA’s Jason and Jasmin Larian plus executive producer Isaac Larian. Script duties are entrusted to Charlie Polinger and Lucy McKendrick, though plot details remain tightly under wraps. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves with theories on her character’s evil makeover; for now, all we know is that this is clearly an effort to cash in on Barbie-era blockbuster vibes post-Barbie’s record-shattering box office (as reported by Deadline).
If you haven’t been paying attention, Kim’s been quietly stacking acting credits like they’re designer handbags. She’s already producing and starring in Netflix’s “The Fifth Wheel” and leading Ryan Murphy’s Hulu drama “All’s Fair.” Sources at People note that her pivot toward scripted roles has been strategic, and this Bratz gig gives her creative control plus that juicy villain aura fans eat up. Of course, she’ll need a style upgrade worthy of Bratz lore—think dramatic makeup, high-glam costumes, and enough sass to rival the OG dolls.
The real question is how Kim’s star power will reshape the Bratz brand. Will her villain be a full-on fashion icon or a scheming mastermind? Variety insiders hint at revenge motifs and dramatic showdowns, so don’t expect a cookie-cutter baddie. And since Amazon MGM’s banking on this to light up summer screens, we’re betting they’ll roll out a major marketing blitz—trailers, merch collabs, maybe even a Kardashian-themed doll.
So there you have it. Kim Kardashian is producing and starring as the villain in the live-action Bratz movie, leveraging her A-list status to redefine what a big-screen baddie looks like. Stay tuned for casting announcements, costume reveals, and that all-important logline drop—whenever Amazon MGM decides you deserve the details. Glad I could clear that up for you.
