Last year, the star teased her role in theGreta Gerwig-directed movie.

“People don’t have any idea what to expect [with the film], and I think that that’s the right vibe. Whatever you think it is, it’s not that. It’s something else,” she told PEOPLE. “All of the craftsmanship is just awe-inspiring, and the sets themselves were magnificent and awesome, as was the wardrobe and the hair and the makeup.”

Noting that Gerwig, 39, “would be not happy with me"if she disclosed her role, she added thatBarbie"is just awesome in the truest sense, and I’m so excited for people to share in that awesomeness.”
