Issa Rae is keeping mum on the upcoming “Barbie Movie”. After the upcoming film’s iconic posters went viral, the fan reaction to the film has been ecstatic. “It’s been amazing,” she said of the fan reaction to People at AT&T’s Game Ball Experience. “I’m super, super excited that people are excited, and I’m just sitting back waiting for it all to come out.” The actress has kept quiet on the details, though her own poster seems to suggest she’s “President Barbie”.
