Barbie Sequel Talks Stall Over Robbie's $50M Payday

Margot Robbie reportedly earned $50 million for Barbie as star and producer, but negotiations for a sequel have stalled after Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav allegedly refused to meet the negotiated salaries for Robbie, Gosling, Gerwig and Baumbach; six offers have been rejected, and if no deal the rights could revert to Mattel for licensing to another studio. Gerwig and Baumbach reportedly have a sequel concept but won’t share it until contracts are signed, and Gosling is said to be asking around $20 million to return.

Barbie 2 at a Crossroads as Pay Talks Stall the Sequel

Barbie 2’s future hangs on pay talks: Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie and their team are seeking substantial upfront and back-end increases, with Gosling reportedly aiming for about $20 million. Warner Bros. Discovery has made multiple offers but negotiations have stalled, and the studio must move to active development within roughly four months or Mattel could reclaim the Barbie rights and reboot. David Ellison could become a wildcard if he wins Warner’s bid and reopens these negotiations.

Barbie sequel in limbo as pay talks with Robbie, Gosling and Gerwig stall

Barbie 2 is in jeopardy after Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling and Greta Gerwig failed to reach salary terms, with Gosling reportedly seeking around $20 million. Warner Bros has offered deals, but if agreements aren’t in place by December the rights could revert to Mattel, preventing Robbie, Gosling or Gerwig from returning in the same project. Gerwig and her writing partner Baumbach say they have a sequel idea and are ready to write if terms are resolved. Barbie dominated 2023 as a record-breaking live-action comedy and Warner Bros’s top performer, but the future of the franchise now hinges on lucrative terms for its three leads and director.

Barbie 2 Hangs in the Balance as Zaslav Resists Higher Pay for Robbie and Gosling

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav has balked at offering bigger salaries and profit participation for Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling on a Barbie sequel, despite reports of large offers; there is no approved framework yet and a December deadline for Mattel’s rights could force a redevelopment if talks stall. Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach reportedly have ideas for the sequel, but deals aren’t in place, and Robbie and Gosling have other projects in the meantime, leaving the future of Barbie 2 uncertain.

Barbie Sequel Talks Stall as Zaslav Pushes Back on Big Paydays

Warner Bros. is in talks to greenlight a Barbie sequel with Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie, and Ryan Gosling, but CEO David Zaslav is reluctant to approve large salaries or profit-sharing deals. Gosling is reportedly asking around $20 million, and there have been discussions of offering a box-office revenue cut for principal talent, but executives are wary of overly generous terms. The studio needs to finalize deals before December, when Mattel would regain the rights and could reboot the project with new filmmakers if an agreement isn’t reached. Production timelines remain uncertain, even as Barbie’s blockbuster success fuels continued interest in expanding the universe.

Netflix Won’t Partner With Filmmakers Demanding Theatrical-Only Releases

Dan Lin, Netflix’s film chief, told The New York Times that the streamer will not work with filmmakers who insist on traditional theatrical windows, calling Greta Gerwig’s Narnia film an exception after it received a wide theatrical release before streaming. Lin, who joined Netflix in 2024, says the company aims to spend less on more, higher‑quality movies and to focus on comedies and book adaptations, with Narnia marking Netflix’s first sanctioned wide theatrical release for a Netflix title (the film’s window was adjusted to Feb. 12, 2027 in theaters and to streaming on Apr. 2, 2027). The stance reflects Netflix’s evolving approach to theatrical windows, balancing selective cinema runs with the streaming rollout for other titles.
