As a devoted cinephile who’s spent countless hours immersed in the world of cinema, I can’t help but feel a twinge of excitement at the prospect of a Ken sequel. The first Barbie movie was a delightful spectacle that perfectly captured the vibrant spirit and charm of its characters, all thanks to the brilliant minds behind it – Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach. Ryan Gosling’s portrayal of Ken was nothing short of captivating, and his on-screen chemistry with Margot Robbie was electric.
As a dedicated Barbie fan, I can’t help but get excited about the recent hints from director Greta Gerwig regarding a potential Ken sequel! In a chat with 60 Minutes during her busy 2023, Gerwig shared some intriguing insights on her long-standing collaboration with Ryan Gosling and the world’s enduring fascination with him. While discussing Barbie with screenwriting partner Noah Baumbach, she subtly fueled our anticipation by suggesting, “I guess we’ll see” when asked about a possible sequel. Whether this is a coy way to avoid the question or an indication that discussions are already underway, one thing’s for sure – we’re left to speculate and eagerly await further updates!
It’s evident that something significant will motivate Greta Gerwig to direct another ‘Barbie’ film, as Margot Robbie, the leading actress, has expressed interest in a potential sequel. When asked about the possibility by Variety, Robbie stated that they would need a strong reason to revisit Barbie Land again.
Robbie commented, “It’s amusing how people these days quickly jump to asking about a sequel without hesitation. I don’t recall this being the case 20 years ago. This project wasn’t intended as a trilogy,” he explained. “All of my energy went into Barbie, and that’s how Greta operates. She concludes each film depleted, feeling like she could never create another movie because she poured her entire being into that one.”
She might say, “I’m not sure what it would take to refill her cup or ours, Warners would likely concur. I can’t even imagine what more could look like. We aspire to create more films with the impact of Barbie. It doesn’t necessarily have to be Barbie 2. Instead, why not consider another grand, innovative concept? One where we find a fantastic filmmaker, have a generous budget at our disposal, and the backing of a massive corporation to truly excel? That’s what I’m aiming for.”
Gerwig Really Loved Making Barbie
In another piece for Variety, Gerwig expressed that a script for Barbie 2 must touch her emotionally. Earning a billion dollars at the box office was impressive, but the narrative also needs to meet a particular standard. “It’s something I enjoyed making immensely,” Gerwig shared. “I loved the universe we created, and the thought of working with that cast once more is incredibly appealing.”
In a contemplative moment, Gerwig reflected: “My guiding principle is ‘What stirs my deepest passions? What truly matters to me? Like, ‘What lies beneath this situation?'” She concluded that for ‘Barbie’, the underlying tale was her affection for Barbie dolls. She recalls visiting Toys R Us and admiring Barbie’s hair and all aspects of them, although her mother had reservations. This, she believes, is the generational story…I always strive to uncover those hidden currents.”
Hey there! As a huge fan, I can’t help but wonder if we might get a chance to revisit the world of Ken in a sequel someday. Keep up with all the latest pop culture chatter by following us @ComicBook on your favorite social media platform!
