Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling & Greta Gerwig don’t have deals for Barbie 2, which is a surprise as the first movie is about to gross $1B.
With Barbie well on the way to grossing $1 billion at the worldwide box office, audiences have been wondering just what’s going on with Barbie 2. THR reported that Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and Greta Gerwig do not have deals for a follow-up. In addition to starring in Barbie, Margot Robbie also produced the film through her LuckyChap Entertainment banner. She could return to the film as a producer, but she is not required to star. The same goes for Ryan Gosling, who typically doesn’t do sequels anyway.
Barbie director Greta Gerwig, who also co-wrote the movie with Noah Baumbach, also doesn’t have a deal for the sequel. Warner Bros. tried to start discussions with Gerwig a few months ago, but her representatives decided to wait until the movie came out. Now that Barbie is about to hit $1 billion, that may prove to be one hell of a smart movie. The ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike naturally means that any official sequel talk will have to wait, but when they do, Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and Greta Gerwig have found themselves in a very enviable position.Related

Margot Robbie actually predicted that Barbie would gross $1 billion when she first pitched the project, although at the time she thought she had oversold it. “
And I gave a number of examples, like, ‘dinosaurs, and Spielberg’, that and that, and that and that. – pretty much anything that has been incredible and made tons of money for studios over the past years. I said, “And now you have Barbie and Greta Gerwig.” I think I oversold it, but we needed to make a movie, okay? !“Barbie is currently playing in theaters, so be sure to check out a review from our own Chris Bumbray and let us know what you thought of the movie as well.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yTAXefPH5A[Steven]
