Ayo Edebiri to Write and in Talks to Star in ‘Barney’ Live-Action Movie From A24, Mattel and Daniel Kaluuya
Ayo Edebiri is set to write the live-action "Barney" movie from A24, Mattel and producer Daniel Kaluuya and is also in talks to star in the film.
Though Kaluuya is a lead producer on the film, sources tell Variety he will not be starring in the movie alongside Edebiri. When the project first got announced in November 2019, Mattel Films’ Robbie Brenner said that working with Kaluuya would allow the studio “to take a completely new approach to ‘Barney’ that will surprise audiences and subvert expectations.” Best known for her Emmy-winning role on FX’s “The Bear,” Edebiri recently voiced Envy in Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” and will next be seen in director Luca Guadagnino’s “After the Hunt” alongside Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield.
