Greta Gerwig Hints at Potential 'Ken' Movie Following 'Barbie' Success

The filmmaker discusses the overwhelming response to 'Barbie' and the possibility of a spin-off centered on Ryan Gosling's Ken.

  • 'Barbie' became the highest-grossing movie of 2023, earning over a billion dollars worldwide.
  • Gerwig and her partner, Noah Baumbach, had extensive ideas for Ken that didn't make it into the final 'Barbie' script.
  • Ryan Gosling was always the first choice for the role of Ken, with his name written next to Ken's lines in the initial drafts.
  • Gerwig remains non-committal about a Ken-centric movie but doesn't rule out the possibility.
  • The success of 'Barbie' has led to discussions about further exploring its characters in future projects.
