What to read next

In the UK, while awaiting a streaming release date, you can rent or buy the movie through Prime Video, Microsoft Store, Apple TV+ and other digital retailers.

Director Greta Gerwig's pink-drenched blockbuster offers a wild spin on Mattel's iconic Barbie and Ken dolls, with Oscar-nominees Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling breathing life into them on screen.

Margot Robbie herself spoke to Associated Press recently, where she commented on the possibility of a sequel.

"I think we put everything into this one," she said. "We didn't, like, we didn't build it to be a trilogy or something. It was like Greta put everything into this movie, so I can't imagine what would be next."

The A-list star also waxed lyrical on the strength of original movies, adding: "I'd say the biggest takeaway for me is that original films can still hit huge at the box office. It doesn't have to be a sequel or a prequel or a remake.

"It can be totally original. It can still be big, get given the big budget to do that."

We're keeping our eyes peeled for a UK release date.
