As the first film awaits its chance at awards season, Margot Robbie has a disappointing update on potential potential barbie 2. The comedy based on the Mattel doll of the same name became the unexpected hit of 2023, setting multiple box office records, including being the highest-grossing film of the year to date and a Warner Bros. box office record. The highest-grossing film of all time and the highest-grossing film by a female independent director.Since its success, including defeating Oppenheimer Amid “Bappenheimer’s” explosive box office success, talk of a potential sequel has been ongoing.

Barbie 2 seems even less likely to happen (but that’s okay)

Robbie’s latest comments agree with hers barbie 2 Commenting before the release of the original film, he was hesitant to move on to another film because making a sequel would have led to the creative team “fell into a trap“In setting up multiple follow-up actions.

The company is reportedly developing 45 movies based on their toys, including one produced by Daniel Kaluuya Barney Films produced by J.J. Abrams hot wheels Films and Vin Diesel Productions rock robot Movie.Various projects are rumored to be set to coincide with Barbiealthough their different genres and approaches make this seem unlikely.

Of the 45 Mattel films said to be in development, only 13 have been publicly announced.

Given that Robbie and Gerwig are still hesitant to make barbie 2 Half a year after the first film was such a hit, it seemed like a proper sequel wouldn’t really get off the ground. However, that doesn’t mean Warner Bros. and Mattel won’t make some kind of follow-up, and with Bobbilan in a unique state at the end of the movie and Ken left to try and find his purpose in life, both could make for interesting derivatives. However, since the studio is likely keen on moving forward with a sequel, one can hope they don’t choose to do so without Gerwig and Robbie’s involvement.
