Margot Robbie has performed down the prospect of a Barbie sequel.
The 33-year-old actress performed the title function in final summer time’s hit blockbuster and defined that a lot went into the image {that a} follow-up isn’t a precedence for her or director Greta Gerwig at this second in time.
Robbie – who served as a producer on the movie for her LuckyChap Entertainment banner – informed Variety: “It’s funny, that knee-jerk reaction in this day and age for everyone to immediately ask about a sequel. I don’t think it was like that 20 years ago. This wasn’t designed to be a trilogy.”
She added, “Everything went into Barbie – and that’s how Greta works. She finishes every movie on empty, feeling like she could never make another movie because she put everything she had into that one. So I don’t know what it would take to fill that cup up again for her. Or for us.”

The Babylon actress explained that she would prefer to make other movies that replicate the impact that Barbie has had on the film industry, noting “We want to make more films that have the effect that Barbie has. I don’t know if it has to be Barbie 2. Why can’t it be another big, original, bold idea where we get an amazing filmmaker, a big budget to play with, and the trust of a huge conglomerate behind them to go and really play? I want to do that.”
Barbie is currently streaming on Max.
