Ryan Gosling Has An Idea For Ken in Potential Sequel

Ryan Gosling needs to play “Husky Ken.”

Barbie is presently the highest-grossing film of 2023, and it is a large frontrunner this awards season. The film is predicted to earn some Academy Award nominations, and lots of assume Ryan Gosling will obtain a nod for Best Supporting Actor for taking part in Ken. Considering the most important success of the movie, followers are questioning if Warner Bros. and Mattel are going to make a sequel. It could be exhausting to think about one other Barbie with out Greta Gerwig on the helm, however the director did lately play coy when requested a few Ken-centric follow-up. During London’s BFI Southbank on Friday, Gosling and his Barbie co-star America Ferrera dodged some questions on Barbie 2 (by way of Variety). While they declare to know nothing a few follow-up, Gosling does have an thought of what sort of Ken he needs to play subsequent. 

“Oh, I’m not going anywhere near that. We really know nothing,” Gosling stated when a fan requested a few sequel.

“We have no information,” Ferrera added. “I will say, what Greta and Margot have said is they did not set out to make a franchise. They put it all out on the table. Every bit of it that they loved and that they knew to do, they did. Which is refreshing, right? We’re not setting it up for 20 years of Barbie movies. But then again, I know nothing, so there might be 20 years [of Barbie]… or a Ken spinoff?”

“Can it be a husky Ken?” Gosling requested. “Can I play Husky Ken, like Sandwich Ken? Can I play that Ken next time?”

Ryan Gosling Reacts To “I’m Just Ken” Being a Success:

Barbie options songs from many gifted artists together with Billie Eilish, Ava Max, Charli XCX, Dominic Fike, Dua Lipa, FIFTY FIFTY, Gayle, HAIM, Ice Spice, Kali, KAROL G, Khalid, Lizzo, Nicki Minaj, PinkPantheress, Tame Impala, and The Kid LAROI. Mark Ronson served because the soundtrack’s producer alongside Kevin Weaver and Brandon Davis. In September, the producers have been joined by music supervisor George Drakoulias for a particular dialog on the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. During the occasion, Ronson spoke about one of many greatest hits of the album, “I’m Just Ken,” which was carried out by Gosling.

“[Greta Gerwig] sent me this funny PDF that her and Noah [Baumbach] had scribbled, like Barbie’s song should be about the world is perfect and everything’s great and there are no shadows and everything’s great because everything’s always great and that will be great. Like just all these silly lyrics,” Ronson defined (by way of THR). “The Ken song was like, ‘I love horses but they also make me mad.’ And it said Barbie and Ken hit songs, which is always like a funny thing to send to a songwriter, ‘Just give us two hit songs.'”

“Next thing I know, she’s like, ‘Ryan wants to sing the song.’ And I was like, ‘Really?'” Ronson recalled after sending the preliminary demo to Gerwig. “She goes, ‘Yeah, he said it speaks very deeply to him.’ And I was like, ‘Is he being ironic?’ And she was like, ‘I don’t think so.'”

“He kind of feels like someone who doesn’t get caught up in the hype from the little bit that now I know about him,” Ronson shared, explaining that he would ship Gosling updates on the milestones reached by “I’m Just Ken.” “Even he’d be like, ‘This is so surreal, I don’t even know what to tell you.’ I think he’s a real musician, he loves music, and I think he was really touched by that and like when Slash played on it, you know? So there’s certain things that he’s been really, I think, excited about.”
