Is Kim Kardashian playing the villain in the new Bratz movie? After the huge success of Barbie in 2023, it was only a matter of time before other iconic dolls got their shot at the big screen. Now, the spotlight is turning to the Bratz—those bold, fashion-loving dolls who shook up the early 2000s and gave Barbie some serious competition.
According to Variety, a live-action Bratz movie is officially in pre-production. And if that wasn’t exciting enough, Kim Kardashian is reportedly in talks to join the cast—possibly as the film’s main villain. The project is being developed by Amazon and MGM Studios, which hints at a big budget and even bigger expectations.
This wouldn’t be Kim K’s first acting role. She recently played a villain in American Horror Story, and fans were surprised by how natural she was on screen. Plus, her connection to the Bratz universe goes back a bit—her sister Kylie Jenner dropped a Bratz doll line in 2023, featuring mini replicas of some of her most viral outfits.

The script is in the hands of a writing duo that knows a thing or two about iconic early-2000s storytelling: Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith, the writers behind 10 Things I Hate About You and Legally Blonde. That alone has fans hopeful that the Bratz will be done justice with all the sass, confidence, and Y2K fashion flair the brand is known for.
While details about the plot are still under wraps, the movie is expected to bring back the original four Bratz girls—Cloe, Jade, Sasha, and Yasmin. These characters last appeared in the 2007 Bratz live-action film, a high school drama that didn’t land well with critics. But this time, the stakes—and expectations—are much higher.

The Bratz weren’t just dolls; they were a cultural reset. Known for their trendsetting outfits, diversity, and fierce personalities, they represented a new kind of girl power. With the Barbie movie proving that nostalgic brands can be reimagined with heart and humor. Fans are hopeful that the Bratz reboot will bring the same level of charm—with a bit more edge.
No release date has been announced yet, but one thing’s clear: the Bratz are ready to strut back into pop culture in a big way. And we’ll be watching closely to see if Kim Kardashian really does bring the drama to the dollhouse.
