Continuation of “Barbie”? Margot Robbie spoke

The film about the world of Barbie turned out to be a real hit among viewers. The production was a huge success at the box office, with almost USD 1.5 billion in box office revenues. But does this mean that we will see the second part of the blockbuster? The title character and producer Margot Robbie decided to share her knowledge.

The July premiere of “Barbie” was announced as a great hit, but even the creators could not have predicted the scale of success. The film “earned” approximately $1.5 billion in global box office revenues and became a pop culture phenomenon. Naturally, questions began to arise as to whether we would see a film continuation of the adventures of the titular doll. We just found out the final answer

Margot Robbie, the main actress and producer of the blockbuster, shared with AP Entertainment that the story directed by Greta Gerwig completely exhausted the potential of Barbie’s story. Therefore, we cannot count on either a sequel or a remake of the film. The Australian star also does not plan to play the title character again.

I think we put everything we had into it. We didn’t build it as a trilogy or anything like that. Greta put everything into this movie, so it’s hard for me to imagine what will happen next.

Robbie is proud of his success. “Something completely original”

The Australian also did not hide her pride in the great success of “Barbie”. What caught attention was its unconventional nature and presentation of the female role in a new light.

I would say the biggest lesson for me is that original films can still do huge at the box office. It doesn’t have to be a sequel, prequel or remake. It can be something completely original with a big budget. And just because it stars a woman doesn’t mean it won’t reach a wide audience, which I think is a misconception that many people still have. So it’s really important that (Barbie – editor’s note) did well.

Gerwig does not rule out a film with a similar convention. But that’s the end of Barbie

Earlier, the director of “Barbie” Greta Gerwig also announced that she did not intend to create a second part of the film. However, she stated that she “does not rule out working on a completely different project set in a similar world.”

And this is really good news, because in “women’s” cinema, Gerwig feels like a fish out of water. It is enough to mention such productions as “Lady Bird”, “Little Women” or “Frances Ha”. The second one even received an Oscar.
