Kim Kardashian to play villain in new Bratz live-action movie

Kim Kardashian is making another bold move in her Hollywood reinvention. The reality TV icon, beauty mogul, and SKIMS founder is reportedly set to play a villain in the upcoming Bratz live-action film, produced by Amazon MGM Studios. Not just stopping at acting, Kardashian is also stepping into a producer’s role, marking a significant shift in her expanding entertainment career.

Kim Kardashian joins Bratz live-action reboot as villain and producer

The Bratz movie is being pitched as a fresh, edgy reboot of the globally popular doll franchise, which first launched in 2001 and has since sold over 200 million dolls. The new film is being penned by Charlie Polinger and Lucy McKendrick—the screenwriting duo also behind A24’s The Masque of the Red Death. Plot details remain tightly guarded, but the tone promises to be youthful, stylish and slightly subversive—much like the Bratz brand itself.

While Kardashian’s involvement in the Bratz world is new, the Kardashian-Jenner link to the franchise isn’t. In 2023, Kylie Jenner became part of an official Bratz doll collaboration, bringing a modern-day influencer twist to the iconic toy line. Now 44, Kim Kardashian is no stranger to the screen. Beyond her household fame from Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she has slowly been building an acting résumé. Her credits include roles in American Horror Story: Delicate, CSI: NY, Drop Dead Diva, and Tyler Perry’s Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor. She’s also slated to appear in a thriller written by The Broken Hearts Gallery’s Natalie Krinsky and a legal drama series titled All’s Fair, created by Glee and AHS mastermind Ryan Murphy.

The Bratz project sees Kardashian joining an experienced producing team that includes Erik Feig, Julia Hammer, Jason Larian, and Jasmin Larian. MGA Entertainment CEO Isaac Larian, whose company owns the Bratz brand, will serve as executive producer. This film signals a calculated career move for Kim, who’s steadily reshaping her public image—from reality queen to a serious player in scripted entertainment. As she aligns herself with major production houses and builds a portfolio of mainstream roles, it’s clear she’s not just playing dress-up anymore.
