Greta Gerwig hints at Ken movie

Greta Gerwig has hinted that a film dedicated to Ken could be in the works.

The Barbie director has given her clearest hint yet that there could be a film dedicated to Ken.

During an interview with 60 Minutes, Greta was asked if “there was ever a Ken movie.” She replied, “I mean, the truth is, you know – I guess we’ll see.”

Ken was played by Ryan Gosling in the 2023 hit film “Barbie” and won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role.

Greta has previously admitted that when she and Noah Baumbach were writing the film, they had so many ideas for Ken that they couldn’t fit them all into the script.

“We had way too much material for Ken. We wrote and wrote and wrote,” Greta said in an earlier interview before Noah warned her not to “give it away.”

The Barbie Movie was the highest-grossing film of 2023, grossing over $1 billion (£780 million) at the worldwide box office.

Ryan, who starred alongside Margot Robbie in the film, previously admitted that he almost turned down the role.

“It was the front cover of the script that said ‘Barbie and Ken,’ but ‘and Ken’ was crossed out,” he told W Magazine. “And the next thing I knew, this is the hardest role I’ll ever play. How do you approach the role of a 70-year-old doll with no crotch? You can’t do any research for that. There’s no one to accompany you, no documentaries to watch, no books written about Ken. You’re on your own.”
