Barbiebecame thehighest-grossing film of 2023(andWarner Bros.' biggest movie ever!) at over $1.44 billion worldwide following its July release.
While there are no official plans for a sequel yet, Gosling recently joked about reprising his role for a potential follow-up.
“Can it be a husky Ken? CanI play Husky Ken, like Sandwich Ken? Can I play that Ken next time?” he said during a panel conversation at London’s BFI Southbank earlier this month, perVariety.
Margot Robbie, who co-produced the film and starred as the titular Mattel doll, recently spoke to the potential for aBarbiesequel during herVarietyActors on Actors conversationwithCillian Murphy, and refused to rule the possibility of another movie out entirely.
“We put everything into that movie and it’s so good, that I’m like, ‘Oh, no!’ " said Robbie, 33. “And I was also so proud of the fact that it wasn’t a sequel or a prequel or a remake, which is getting rarer and rarer these days … that part of me is like ‘Oh, no,if we do aBarbie 2…I don’t know.’ "
Barbieis now streaming on Max.
