Barbie saved David Zaslav from completely destroying Warner Bros by beating expectations at the Box Office. Therefore, it was a no-brainer that he ordered a sequel to the film.
That was 2023. And there is no sequel in the works. Now, we know why. Zaslav, who, for some reason, is still at WB, is too cheap to pay Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling what they want, according to The New York Times.
Without them, there is no movie. Without Zaslav, Warner Bros would be better off. Why and how is he still there?
Oh, and if a deal is not signed by December, Mattel gets the rights back. However, if they do, then they have to start over without the current people attached to the WB movie.
