Barbie 2 Hits a Major Roadblock at Warner Bros.

The future of Barbie 2 is suddenly in question. Despite the original film earning more than $1.5 billion worldwide, Warner Bros. is still working to secure new deals with Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and director Greta Gerwig before the sequel rights revert to Mattel in December. If an agreement isn't reached, one of Hollywood's biggest franchises could face an unexpected pause.

Released in 2023, Barbie became a global phenomenon, earning critical acclaim and breaking box office records. Directed by Greta Gerwig and starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the film redefined the iconic Mattel brand and became one of the highest-grossing movies of all time.

How to Watch: Barbie is available to stream on Max and is also available to rent or purchase on major digital platforms.
