There will be a Barbie2 ?
You would have had to live in a cave all summer (and even before) not to have heard of the phenomenon Barbie. Greta Gerwig’s film, brought Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, was a monumental success. With beyond $1.4 billion in revenue worldwide, the feature film performed better than all of its competitors. In fact, to date, it is the biggest success of 2023, just ahead Super Mario Bros. (1.3 billion) and far ahead of some franchises.
Let’s imagine that a Warner Bros., everyone is enthusiastic about Greta Gerwig’s proposal (which however did not completely convince us). And we know that when a movie does numbers like that, Hollywood studios inevitably think about sequels in hopes of reproducing the same success again and again. Rumors are therefore widespread A Barbie2. But this is not what Margot Robbie (also the film’s producer) and Greta Gerwig seem to have foreseen.
In fact, during an interview given toAssociated pressthe actress explained it Barbie he did not have it was not built to give rise to several filmsand that the feature film already contains everything she and Greta Gerwig wanted.
I think we put everything into this. We didn’t build it to be a trilogy or anything like that. Greta put everything into this movie, so I can’t imagine what could be next.
A success that opens up other projects
No follow up for Barbie so… Really? It’s hard not to imagine the heads at Warner Bros. pushing to make this film the start of a franchise. It wouldn’t even surprise us to see the birth of a spin-off about Ken (Ryan Gosling). But if Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig stood their ground, the studio could give it a shot without involving them completely (keeping them as executive producers, for example).

Furthermore, for Margot Robbie, this success is proof of this original projectswhich are not”sequel, prequel or remake“, can reach a wide audience. And even when it is a film with a woman in the main role. The important thing is, for her, to provide a large enough budget to be able to carry out this type of project. It remains to be seen whether the studios will continue in this direction and whether Warner Bros. will really be satisfied with just one film for Barbie. In any case, on the side of Mattelwhich holds the Barbie license, we don’t intend to stop there as the company wants to bring more toys to the big screen.
