In 2021, Margot Robbie said talking on the beloved toy, “comes with a lot of baggage…and a lot of nostalgic connections. But with that comes a lot of exciting ways to attack it. People generally hear ‘Barbie’ and Think, ‘I know what that movie is going to be, and then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they’re like, oh, well maybe I don’t.”
Earlier this year the production began in London. ‘Barbie’ is one of many Mattel properties on the burner. Projects based on the magic 8 ball, Masters of the Universe, Hot Wheels, Polly Pocket, the throwback dolls Chatty Cathy, Rock ‘Em Sock Em Robots, and Betsy Wetsy are all in the works.
