Margot Robbie had a lot to say about the possibility of another Barbie movie in the works. Here&#039;s her take on sequels as a whole.

Margot Robbie Finally Opens Up About the Billion Dollar &#8216;Barbie&#8217; Sequel Speculation

Margot Robbie has finally put rest to claims about a sequel to Barbie in an
interview with Variety today
[https://variety.com/2024/film/features/margot-robbie-luckychap-barbie-saltburn-shocks-being-original-1235858528/].
When the Australian actress was questioned about rumors regarding the
blockbuster hit’s sequel or spin-offs, she declared that the flick was not
“designed to be a trilogy” or otherwise. She even called this the audiences’
compulsion for a second installment to be a knee-jerk reaction that has become
more common “in this day and age”.

She even remarked that sequels were never the next go-to for successful flicks
like Barbie ”20 years ago”, unlike the constant demand for one nowadays. From
the looks of it, the 33-year-old probably does not seem to wish to tamper with
the flick’s popularity by risking its impact with unpredictable future
projects. 

With no intentions for a sequel, Robbie was still willing to consider creating
something similar. 


MARGOT ROBBIE LAYS OUT SOME HOPES FOR THE FUTURE

Besides speaking her mind on the topic, Robbie also shed light on the flick’s
director Greta Gerwig’s mindset. According to her, Gerwig was the kind to give
her all to a movie and be too exhausted to consider a sequel as of now. However,
she confessed they did “want to make more films that” can achieve the same
“effect” as Barbie!

Not only did the pink-hued movie question gender stereotypes but also broke
gender barriers by establishing Gerwig as the first female to generate a billion
bucks at the box office

So, it can also be said that replicating the hype of the 2023 flick will be no
small feat. Still, fans are bound to feel relieved that Robbie wishes to attempt
it.

One thing that still makes this update heart-breaking for fans is the lost
possibility of a Ken spin-off. 


RYAN GOSLING CONTINUES TO WIN HEARTS AS KEN 

With a visually arresting persona and flawlessly executed musical anthems, Rayn
Gosling’s performance brought perfect harmony to Barbie. It earned him such
praise that fans wished his Ken-ergy-filled role would receive his own character
movie. He extended his stint as Ken well into 2023 by releasing a much-praised
EP of Ken’s soundtracks in December
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-music-news-ranking-the-four-new-ryan-gosling-ken-songs-which-one-is-the-best-to-put-you-in-the-christmas-mood/].

So, it would have only made sense that he brought the Ken-ergy to 2024 too with
a film focusing on his complex character. Especially considering how Ken’s
entire arc ended in him wanting to share the spotlight with Robbie’s Barbie.
Maybe if The Notebook actor wishes to, Ken might just get a spin-off despite
Robbie’s disinterest.
