’Can I play Husky Ken?’

Ryan Gosling insists he knows nothing about a possible „Barbie” sequel — but he has some ideas about Ken’s future if it happens.

During a chat about the $1 billion blockbuster at London’s BFI Southbank on Friday, Gosling and co-star America Ferrera deflected a question from fans about „Barbie 2”: „Oh, I’m nowhere near that. We don’t really know anything.

„We have no information,” Ferreira added. „I will say, what Greta and Margot said, they didn’t set out to create a franchise. They put everything on the table. They did everything they wanted and knew how to do. Which is refreshing, right? We didn’t set it up for 20 years of 'Barbie’ movies. But again, I have no idea, so maybe 20 years [of ‘Barbie’]… or a Ken spinoff?”

Recently, director Greta Gerwig was asked about the idea of ​​a Ken-centric follow-up Interview with „60 Minutes” And the answer is no. „I mean, the truth is, you know…I think we’ll see,” she added: „We had a lot of material with Ken. We’ll write and write and write. Gerwig hasn’t been shy about being open to another 'Barbie’ movie,” she told People magazine in August. She said she believed the movie would be “the beginning of a world and a collection of different Barbie movies.” Mattel executives agree, saying Variety Barbiland is „a very rich universe…it’s a very broad and very flexible brand in terms of opportunities.”

But Gosling may have a slightly different take on Ken 2.0, asking during a Q&A, “Could it be Husky Ken? Can I play Husky Ken like Sandwich Ken? Can I play that Ken next time?

Barbie and Margot Robbie were also due to participate in the conversation, but were unable to travel to London. Regarding Robbie’s absence at the start of the group, Gosling said, „The disappointment you feel is that Barbie isn’t here — that’s Ken’s life.”
