When it comes to the possibility of a Barbie sequel following the film's massive success, Margot Robbie seems to think one is Kenough.
Greta Gerwig's Barbie racked up more than $1.4 billion at the box office, making it the highest-grossing film of the year, but according to Robbie, that alone doesn't justify making another, especially considering "everything" they put into making the original.
Robbie recently told the Associated Press:
“I think we put everything into this one. We didn’t build it to be a trilogy or something."“Greta put everything into this movie, so I can’t imagine what would be next.”Aside from the financial victory, Robbie noted that its success proved original films can still be blockbuster hits.
"It doesn’t have to be a sequel or prequel or a remake, it can be totally original."“It can still be big ― given the big budget to do that. And just because there’s a female lead doesn’t mean it’s not going to hit all four quadrants, which is, you know, I think a misconception that a lot of people still have.”You can watch below.

Back in July, Gerwig shared similar feelings about a potential sequel, telling The New York Times:
“I feel like that at the end of every movie, like I’ll never have another idea and everything I’ve ever wanted to do, I did.""I wouldn’t want to squash anybody else’s dream but for me, at this moment, I’m at totally zero."While people adored Barbie, many agreed there is no need for another given the perfection of the OG.

Podcast host Leigh McGowan criticized conservative CNN panelist Scott Jennings on Monday over his cavalier attitude about the Justice Department's failure to release the Epstein files, calling his response “insane” and “horrifying.”
The DOJ has released less than 1% of the Epstein files. The department acknowledged that it has released just 12,285 documents—totaling 125,575 pages—related to Epstein, even though federal law required the bulk of those records to be made public by December 19.

According to the latest polling data highlighted on CNN, President Donald Trump's support among Gen Z voters has fallen considerably—a remarkable shift in public opinion from a cohort whose support proved crucial to his 2024 election win.
Trump's 2024 campaign received a massive boost thanks to the efforts of Turning Point USA's Charlie Kirk, the far-right activist who was assassinated in September. Kirk galvanized the youth vote but those gains have not held steady since Trump entered office.
