Kim Kardashian's next role? A villainous turn in the 'Bratz' film

Kim Kardashian is set to make a significant leap from reality television to the big screen.

Reports suggest that she has been tipped for a villainous role in the upcoming live-action "Bratz" film. 

According to "Deadline", Amazon MGM Studios won the bid to secure the rights to this much-anticipated adaptation of the popular children’s toy brand, with Kardashian and Picturestart as the producers.

The screenplay is currently being penned by Charlie Polinger and Lucy McKendrick, though additional details regarding the plot and casting remain a secret. 

The Skims founder has previously been cast in "American Horror Story: Delicate" as Siobhan Corbyn and voiced characters in two “Paw Patrol” movies. 

On the horizon, she’ll lead the Netflix comedy "The Fifth Wheel" from director Eva Longoria and will appear in Ryan Murphy’s new drama "All Is Fair", which will stream on Disney+.

The Bratz franchise, which has sold over 200 million dolls since its inception in 2001, is aiming to capture a portion of the explosive success seen by the recent "Barbie" film, which raked in a staggering $1.44 billion this year alone. 

This resurgence of interest in toys on the big screen means Hollywood is mining its archives for nostalgic gold, with upcoming films based on toys like Hot Wheels and Polly Pockets currently in the works.

For "Bratz", Kardashian will collaborate with prominent producers Erik Feig and Julia Hammer from Picturestart, alongside Jason and Jasmin Larian from MGA Entertainment.

MGA’s CEO, Isaac Larian, is also attached as an executive producer, lending his expertise from previous ventures, which include the original "Bratz" animated series and a 2005 live-action film that didn't fare well at the box office.

Interestingly, Kardashian is not the only member of her family to be involved with the Bratz brand. Her sister, Kylie Jenner, made headlines earlier this year with the launch of two Bratz fashion dolls as part of the Bratz x Kylie Fashion Dolls collection, as well as introducing a mini-collection inspired by her iconic fashion moments.
