Margot Robbie Waiting To See Viewers’ Reaction
Margot Robbie cautiously approached the project, acknowledging that its success and audience demand for more were uncertain. Instead, her focus lay on the current state of the film and how viewers would react to it. Rather than prematurely assuming the need for sequels, Robbie prioritized the present, valuing the quality and reception of the initial installment.
“It could go a million different directions from this point. […] But I think you fall into a bit of a trap if you try and set up a first movie whilst also planning for sequels.”
Ynon Kreiz expressed his desire for all Mattel movies, including Barbie, to have the same cultural resonance that the iconic doll has already achieved, even before its official premiere. To accomplish this goal, Kreiz emphasized the importance of enlisting renowned talents such as Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, granting them ample creative freedom in shaping the Mattel cinematic universe.
In a candid revelation, Gerwig acknowledged that the creation of Barbie stemmed more from corporate influence rather than a passionate drive for storytelling. She said, “Sometimes these movies can have a quality of hegemonic capitalism.“
