As the excitement surrounding the upcoming Bratz movies continues to build, especially with the news that Kim Kardashian has been confirmed to star in the film as the villain. But now, fans are wondering whether North would also be headed for her debut on the big screen in this upcoming major picture project.
The Kardashian family has shared their love for the brand in the past with collaborations and shout outs. In 2023, Kylie Jenner became the first celebrity to have her own Bratz doll with the brand collaborating with the Kardashian and Jenners on more dolls following it's success. Notably. the sisters also dressed up as the iconic dolls for Halloween that same year. The family also threw a bratz themed birthday party for daughter, Chicago, showing their loyalty to the brand
Their playful homage to the dolls previously only fuels speculation as to how involved they will be with the film. Ever since Barbie became the highest-grossing film of 2023, earning over $ 1.44 billion worldwide, Hollywood has been eager to tap into this new film market and create more films based on beloved toy brands. The nostalgic appeal that has permeated much of recent cinema guarantees an audience that will invest in the movie, alongside the merchandising and cross-brand appeal that will support its potential success.
Could North West join the Bratz: The Movie?
While there is no offical confirmation, the idea of North joining the project isn't far-fetched, especially since her Mother has been confirmed to be involved in the production. This suggest we might see Kim's creative influence reflected in the final product, which is set to be released in 2026. If North West joins the cast, she would undoubtedly attract a younger audience the film and could play a role in the revival of the Bratz franchise.
In recent years, the doll line has experienced a rise in popularity, thanks in part to a strong social media presence that shares content targeting their core older audience (Gen Z) who grew up with the dolls. This upcoming film could potentially bring the brand back to the heights it enjoyed in the noughties, reigniting nostalgia and introducing Bratz to a new generation.
The Kardashians have long been known for their influence on urban fashion trends, blending streetwear with high fashion and setting style standards for their millions of followers. Kylie Jenner’s past collaboration with Bratz—which brought a modern, edgy twist to the dolls—further cements their connection to the brand’s contemporary relevance. The family’s ability to cultivate and shape urban fashion trends means that North’s involvement in the Bratz film could seamlessly tie into their larger influence on youth culture, making the franchise’s comeback even more impactful and stylishly on-trend.
