They’re trying real hard for Barbie recognition. Mission impossible should win this easily. This isn’t hard

With the 2023 movie earning over a billion dollars at the global box office collection, it is an obvious question whether the world will be able to see Barbie and Ken again. In a brief chat with Variety on the Golden Globes red carpet, Margot Robbie playfully hinted at the possibility of a sequel.
“You can prove me wrong. We’ll see.”
In a separate interview with the Associated Press, the actress claimed that they didn’t have any immediate plans but that doesn’t mean it was the end for Barbie!
“We didn’t build it to be a trilogy or something. Greta [Gerwig] put everything into this movie, so I can’t imagine what would be next.”
With a rating of 6.9/10 on IMDB and 88% on Rotten Tomatoes, the Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling starter is available to stream on Max in the U.S.
