Filmmaker Greta Gerwig and stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling do not have deals to return for a sequel to Barbie, and dual strikes are complicating matters for Warner Bros:
And in a rare circumstance for a movie based on a major piece of intellectual property, the talent that made the movie a success do not have deals in place for a sequel. That runs counter the thinking behind big franchise plays from Marvel or Star Wars or Transformers, which snap up their talent in options, sometimes onerously so.
Margot Robbie, who brought the iconic toy to life on-screen and was one of the producers via her LuckyChap banner alongside husband Tom Ackerley, does not have an option and is not obligated to return as Barbie. She could return just as a producer, if she so desired. While her acting fee and her box office bonuses are unknown, any new deal would be a bankbuster. And, as observers note, merchandizing points could end up on the table.
