Sequel Reportedly in Early Stages of Development

Sequel Reportedly in Early Stages of Development، As THR reports, Barbie 2 is in the “early stages” of development, with director pair Greta Gerwig — who co-wrote and directed the original film — and Noah Baumbach described as having “thought of an idea” for a new film, with the pair already bringing it to Warner Bros.

However, in an interesting development, representatives for both Warner Bros. And Gergwig/Baumbach says no such sequel is planned. “There is no legitimacy to these reports,” said Gerwig and Baumbach, a Warner Bros. representative. Adding, “THR’s reporting is inaccurate.”

THR reports that if an agreement is reached, the duo will begin work on the project after each of their upcoming films. Baumbach is working on the upcoming Jay Kelly film for Netflix in which Gerwig stars alongside an all-star ensemble, while Gerwig is also working on a film for Netflix, her own adaptation of the Chronicles of Narnia.

The 2023 Barbie film was a huge hit for Warner Bros. Discovery. The film starred Margot Robbie in the titular role, with Ryan Gosling playing Kane, and became the highest-grossing film of 2023 and the 14th highest-grossing film of all time, earning over $1.4 billion at the global box office. .

The film follows the story of Barbie as she finds her way back into the real world, and goes on a journey of self-discovery through Barbieland as a result. Other stars in the film include America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, Will Ferrell, Simu Liu, Emma Mackey, Alexandra Shipp, Hari Nef, Sharon Rooney, Dua Lipa, and more.

The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor (Gosling), and won Best Original Song for “What Was I Made For?” For Billie Eilish.
