The film celebrated women\u2019s empowerment and girlhood, leaving Ken, played by the 43-year-old Gosling, constantly in Barbie\u2019s shadow as he tried to prove his manhood among his fellow Kens.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-4\">The movie, which made many cry, laugh, and smile, was so well received that a potential Ken sequel has been hinted at. In an interview with <strong>Sharyn Alfonsi<\/strong> for <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/2yRBvYOOCB4?si=FLvFR6kRlg4qUtlW\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><em>60 Minutes<\/em><\/a>, Greta Gerwig was asked if she would consider making a sequel focused on Ryan\u2019s character. Laughing, she replied, \u201cI mean, the truth is, you know\u2014we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe title=\"Will there be a Ken movie?\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2yRBvYOOCB4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-5\">She revealed that while writing the script, there was a wealth of material, worthy of a second film for Ken. \u201cWe would write, and write, and write,\u201d she noted. \u201cI mean, this sounds so silly to say out loud, but I love Ken. We love Ken. We also take Ken\u2019s position quite seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-6\">Greta explained that the concept of the movie began with the idea of a perfect world, like a clock running smoothly, until the notion of death entered Barbie\u2019s mind. Since Margot Robbie\u2019s character is designed to be the ideal doll, Greta felt it was important to incorporate real-life topics into a story about such a character. \u201cThe movie is meant to be a big-hearted thing, even though it\u2019s poking fun at everyone,\u201d she said during the interview.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-7\">\u201cYou know, Barbie\u2019s been around since 1959, and everyone knows who she is, and everyone has an opinion, and she\u2019s run the gamut of being ahead of time, behind time. She\u2019s a hero, she\u2019s a villain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-8\">While a second film has not been confirmed, the first one made a significant impact, especially in popularizing the color pink and earning billions at the box office.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2024\/08\/19\/barbie-director-greta-gerwig-discusses-possibility-of-ken-movie\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Image Credit: Getty Images for DGA Although Ken is considered second fiddle to Barbie, the director of the blockbuster film, Greta Gerwig hinted that<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":255510,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[150],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255509"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255509\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
