What you need to know:
‘Barbie’ is one of the most important and grossing films of the year. So it is not unreasonable to think of a sequel to this film, but it is unlikely that Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling will return for a second part and here we tell you why.
No doubt Barbie It was one of the most important premieres of 2023Well, he put together a phenomenon that we had not seen in the cinema for a long time. Millions of people around the world rushed into theaters dressed up and with outfits specially put together for the occasion, And wow, that was reflected in the revenue it has generated for Warner Bros. at the box office around the globe..
To give you an idea of how things arethe film directed by Greta Gerwig, and starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, until the moment of writing this note, reached one billion dollars globally. And of course, from the first weeks of the premiere of Barbieand seeing the success of the tape, rumors began to emerge about a sequel but, is this really possible?
The reason why there would not be a sequel to ‘Barbie’ directed by Greta Gerwig
In accordance with The Hollywood Reporterdespite the vast majority would love to see a sequel to Barbiethe truth is that the probability of a second part being put together is very low. The reason? Well then both Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling avoided signing a contract that would bind them to making a franchise with this filmsomething that often happens with Marvel or Star Wars productions.
According to the same source, Greta Gerwig was approached by Warner Bros. about making a sequel to Barbie, but the director’s team delayed negotiations until after the film’s release.. Now, with the writers’ strike and the actors’ strike in Hollywood, there’s no telling when those negotiations might resume. Although yes, in interviews the filmmaker made it clear that she was not so excited about the idea of a second part.
Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling would not return for a second part of ‘Barbie’ either
Something similar happened with Margot Robbie, who played the film’s lead and produced the film with her company, LuckyChaps. However, despite her being the main actress and the face of this project, she in her contract she has no option to return for a sequel nor is she required to return as Barbie. She could come back just as a producer if she wanted to, but there’s nothing that could force her back into acting in this universe.
Ryan Goslin, who played the Ken who stole several moments in the film, He has no deal for a sequel either. Barbiedespite the fact that he declared that he would work again with Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie on anything. And it is that the actor is not exactly known for starring in large franchises, despite the fact that we have seen him in projects that could expand.
So, Is it possible that the movie industry would let a hit movie like Barbie stay as a one-off film without turning it into a sequel series? That will answer itself over time, especially if Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling come to consider it important to resume their roles.
However, despite the fact that a lot of productions based on other Mattel products are coming, The reality is that we don’t see the need for a second part of Barbie, because although this tape had an open ending, the closure of the path of Barbie and Ken was satisfactory, don’t you think? What do you think?
