Margot Robbie stays skeptical that Barbie 2 may — or ought to — occur, saying folks care an excessive amount of about sequels.
She’s a Barbie woman in a Barbie world…However don’t count on that world to develop, as Margot Robbie has passively dismissed Barbie 2, even when the primary film was the highest-grossing film of final 12 months.
Robbie lately instructed Selection that sequel speak is inevitable in terms of field workplace smashes however that doesn’t imply one is within the playing cards, saying there have by no means actually been plans for Barbie 2. “It’s humorous, that knee-jerk response at the present time for everybody to instantly ask a few sequel. I don’t suppose it was like that 20 years in the past. This wasn’t designed to be a trilogy.” This goes off of earlier feedback from Robbie made concerning the likelihood for a Barbie 2.
Robbie added that a lot went into making Barbie that it is likely to be laborious for the forged and crew — mainly director Greta Gerwig — to return. “Every thing went into “Barbie” — and that’s how Greta works. She finishes each film on empty, feeling like she may by no means make one other film as a result of she put all the pieces she had into that one. So I don’t know what it might take to fill that cup up once more for her. Or for us. I feel Warners would additionally agree. I don’t know what extra may even appear to be. We wish to make extra movies which have the impact that “Barbie” has. I don’t know if it needs to be “Barbie 2.”
Whereas it’s noble that Margot Robbie doesn’t appear so positive of a Barbie 2 (nor does she have a contract lined up), we’d must suppose that Warner Bros. would completely be on board. In spite of everything, Barbie took in round $1.5 billion worldwide, making it a shock hit that not solely shattered field workplace data however entered the general public conscience in a manner that the property itself hasn’t in many years.
Do you suppose Barbie will ultimately get a sequel? Can Warner Bros. stand to go on successful follow-up? Give us your ideas beneath!
