Barbie grossed $1.4 billion on the worldwide field workplace, which simply so occurs to be the key quantity that usually unlocks an prompt sequel. We haven’t heard all that a lot a couple of potential Barbie 2, however a “well-placed supply” has instructed THR that Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach have lastly provide you with an thought for the sequel. One other supply with direct information says that the idea has been delivered to Warner Bros. and is within the “early phases,” however the studio has denied it.
“THR’s reporting is inaccurate,” stated a Warner Bros. consultant, whereas a rep for Gerwig and Baumbach added, “There is no such thing as a legitimacy to this reporting.“
This assertion could also be as a result of the deal for Barbie 2 continues to be within the works. However whether or not the sequel is presently in growth or not, I’ve little doubt that it’s going to occur finally. That stated, the inventive forces behind the huge hit fortunately haven’t any need to hurry a sequel. Actually, Margot Robbie was skeptical concerning the possibilities of a follow-up when requested earlier this yr. “It humorous, that knee-jerk response this present day for everybody to right away ask about a sequel,” she stated. “I don’t assume it was like that 20 years in the past. This wasn’t designed to be a trilogy.“
Robbie was truly the one who first predicted that Barbie would gross $1 billion when she pitched the venture, though, on the time, she thought she had oversold it. “I feel my pitch within the green-light assembly was the studios have prospered a lot once they’re courageous sufficient to pair a giant thought with a visionary director,” Robbie stated. “After which I gave a collection of examples like, ‘dinosaurs and [Steven] Spielberg,’ that and that, that and that – just about naming something that’s been unimaginable and made a ton of cash for the studios over time. And I used to be like, ‘And now you’ve obtained Barbie and Greta Gerwig.’ And I feel I instructed them that it’d make a billion {dollars}, which possibly I used to be overselling, however we had a film to make, okay?!“
