Kim Kardashian to Play 'Bratz' Villain? Fans Think They Know Who

The beauty mogul seems a perfect fit for that role.
Amazon MGM just bagged the live-action Bratz movie after a fierce bidding war, and it’s already got everyone talking — mostly thanks to one bold rumour: Kim Kardashian might play the villain. Yes, you read that right. Not just produce the film with Picturestart, but star in it. And not as a Bratz doll... but the ultimate Bratz nemesis.
From contour queen to couture villain
According to Deadline, the script is in the works with Charlie Polinger and Lucy McKendrick, but word is, Kim’s role isn’t locked yet. Still, fans are already speculating — and manifesting. "Oh my god is she gonna play Burdine Maxwell?? ," gasped Reddit user somegirlontheinter, referring to the original Bratz antagonist (and iconic CEO of Your Thing Magazine).
Another fan chimed in: "Hell yeah. This is a perfect movie for her to be in" while others threw in snark, nostalgia, and Walmart clearance racks: "Soooo many dolls on clearance at Walmart, I actually felt bad" wrote SetteItOff.
Fashion, fame & fierce opinions
Reddit is, unsurprisingly, divided. One user called out the double standards: "It’s crazy how people say this family is famous for doing nothing, but when Kim tries a serious avenue of work, all the comments are dragging her."
Fair point. Kardashian’s been testing the waters outside reality TV for a while now — remember American Horror Story? Maybe the Bratz villain arc is her true calling. Fashion-forward, slightly terrifying, and obsessed with being the centre of attention? She was born for it.
The real tea? This might actually slap
With a nostalgic IP, a polarising celebrity, and Amazon MGM behind the wheel, this Bratz movie has all the makings of a viral pop culture moment. Love her or hate her, Kim K as Burdine Maxwell could be camp perfection.
