Barbie 2 Rumors Take Over! Is a Sequel Coming Soon?

A sequel to the 2023 global hit Barbie may be in the works, with original screenwriters Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach reportedly developing a new story. The Hollywood Reporter claims the project is in its early stages after a pitch from the duo sparked interest at Warner Bros. However, both the studio and the writers have denied these reports, leaving the sequel’s status uncertain.

The success of Barbie, which earned $1.4 billion and became a cultural phenomenon, makes a follow-up enticing. Still, Margot Robbie’s involvement as star and producer would likely be crucial to replicating the original's impact.

With Gerwig currently tied to Netflix’s Chronicles of Narnia films, progress on Barbie 2 could take time. While the idea of a sequel excites fans, confirmation may depend on further developments and official announcements.
