Barbie 2 in serious jeopardy as deal talks crumble and pay battle heats up
The dream of a 'Barbie 2' is looking less pink and more bleak. Variety reports the sequel could be shelved entirely amid a major pay battle and disintegrating negotiations between the studio and its star creative team.
MovieWeb claims Margot Robbie and key crew members have turned down what was described as "life-changing money," creating a behind-the-scenes crisis. A full franchise reboot is reportedly now on the table if a deal can't be struck.
According to JoBlo, the standoff is specifically between Warner Bros. and director Greta Gerwig, with rights to the property at risk of reverting to Mattel. It seems that existential dread has officially moved from the screen to the boardroom.
