Would the warner seek to surf the flow of the “Ken-ergy”? Since the dazzling success of Barbie In the cinema last July, the question of a sequel continues to be raised. While the big boss of Mattel has already been favorable to the development of a suite-without surprise after a box office at 1.44 million dollars-the star of the film is not of the same opinion. Questioned by Variety Last November, Margot Robbie said: “I think we have given everything with this project. We didn’t do it in order to launch a trilogy or something like that. Greta Gerwig gave itself to the full for this film, so I don’t see what there could be afterwards.”
But in early December, things are already starting to change. In a group interview with his rival ofOppenheimer Cillian Murphy, Barbie’s interpreter returned to her latest words By specifying: “I say to myself ‘Oh no, if we do a Barbie 2, so we just go …’ I don’t know. But at the same time, I would do anything to return to this set. And I would do anything to be on the set with Greta and Ryan and play Barbie. Playing Barbie is the best. It’s so happy. So it’s not a ‘no’. Not no, but it would take a lot of effort to make it up to the first.”

A spin-off rather than a suite?
Margot Robbie is not the only one to talk about the return of Barbie and Ken to the cinema. Questioned as part of the 60 -minute program of the American channel CBS, director Greta Gerwig allowed itself to slip some clues concerning the future of the film. “” “We had too many ideas for Ken. We wrote again and again“She says, explaining that many ideas for the character have not been included in the final script.
Then comes the question of a possible feature film dedicated to Ken to integrate these drafts, to which the director answers a smile on the lips: “I mean, the truth is that, you know … I guess we will see.”Each new intervention by the film team seems to bring us a little closer to an inevitable following Barbie.
Mattel did not say her last word
The development of a Ken film would have nothing of a surprise. The toy manufacturing giant has already unveiled its ambitions for the film industry. Like a Mattel Cinematic Universe, the biggest toys and other board games of the brand will be entitled to their own feature film. Productions under the stamp A, Polly Pocket, Hot Wheels or The masters of the universe have already been confirmed among so many other projects. It remains to be seen whether these films will be as original as Barbie, or if they will fall into the category of adaptations for purely lucrative purpose.
