Margot Robbie, the Australian actress who played the role in Greta Gerwig's billion-dollar Barbie movie, has recently shared her thoughts about the need of a super-hit movie's sequel.
Speaking with AP Entertainment, Margot Robbie acknowledges that despite being the highest-grossing entry of 2023, it's challenging for a sequel to match the quality and impact of the original. "Greta Gerwig (Barbie director) put everything into this film, so I can't imagine what would be next."
“I think we put everything into this one. We didn't build it to be a trilogy or something,” she added.
The actress stated, "We did not built the movie to be a trilogy or something," adding that the cast, crew and director put everything they had into this film.
Barbie released in July 2023. The film stars Margot Robbie as Barbie, Ryan Gosling and Simu Liu as Ken, among others and got the honour to be the highest ever grossing film by a female director ever, and the highest grossing movie of the year. It amassed a total of $1.4 billion at the global box office.
Fans have been curious if there would be a sequel of the super hit movie but no one from the film's team has confirmed the possibility of it.
Earlier, in an interview with People magazine, Gerwig did not really rule out the possibility of a sequel for the movie, stating, "I am not opposed to a sequel of the movie, particularly if it explores the Barbie universe at large and don't specifically target the characters being featured in the first movie."
