Reports Suggest 'Barbie 2' in Early Development, but Filmmakers Deny Claims

Sources indicate Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach may be working on a sequel concept, though representatives and Warner Bros. dispute the reports.

The Hollywood Reporter claims Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach have developed a story idea for a 'Barbie' sequel, with discussions reportedly in early stages at Warner Bros.
Representatives for Gerwig, Baumbach, and Warner Bros. have denied the accuracy of these reports, stating there is no legitimacy to the claims.
The original 2023 'Barbie' film was a major cultural and financial success, earning $1.4 billion globally and receiving eight Oscar nominations, including one win for Best Original Song.
While Gerwig previously stated she had no immediate ideas for a sequel, reports suggest the duo might collaborate again if schedules align and a deal is reached.
Both Gerwig and Baumbach are currently focused on other projects, including a Netflix adaptation of 'The Chronicles of Narnia' and a star-studded Netflix film in post-production.
