The first trailer for Dumb Money, an upcoming comedy-drama starring The Batman's Paul Dano and Barbie's America Ferrera, has been released.

Based on the 2021 book The Antisocial Network, the film tells the wild true story of how a group of private investors and internet trolls "brought Wall Street to its knees and got rich by turning the video-game retailer GameStop into the world's hottest company".

The trailer introduces us to Dano's character Keith Gill, the YouTuber who started it all by investing his life savings into GameStop and encouraging thousands of others to do the same.

However, it's not long before the Wall Street billionaires (two of which are played by Seth Rogen and Nick Offerman) start fighting back, and both sides find their worlds turned upside down.

Dumb Money's star-studded cast also includes Pete Davidson, Vincent D'Onofrio, Anthony Ramos, Sebastian Stan and Shailene Woodley. I, Tonya's Craig Gillespie directed the movie, while Orange Is the New Black writers Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo wrote the screenplay.

Before she stars in Dumb Money, fans will be able to watch Ferrera in Greta Gerwig's highly anticipated Barbie movie next month.

The actress recently appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show with her co-stars Kate McKinnon and Margot Robbie to discuss the film, with the latter confessing she had one condition before agreeing to play the titular Mattel doll.

"The first thing I said to Greta when we first sat down and talked about the movie [was]: 'I'll follow your vision. Whatever you want this Barbie movie to be, let's do that. Except I just have one favour,'" Robbie explained

"'Please, please, please can we have a Dreamhouse where she has a slide that goes from her bedroom down to her pool, because that is my goal in life.'"

Dumb Money arrives in cinemas on September 22. Barbie will be released on July 21.
