Barbie was the highest-grossing film of 2023, with a worldwide total of a whopping $1.4 billion, and now three of the biggest stars involved in the film are considering the possibility of turning it into a musical.
Actresses Margot Robbie and America Ferrera were joined by director Greta Gerwig on the red carpet at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala on Thursday evening.
Since the blockbuster film featured some iconic musical numbers, the trio was asked by Entertainment Tonight if a full-fledged song and dance film was planned.
Robbie, 33, quickly replied: “Trust me, it's not the first time… it's not the first time we've thought about it, yeah.”
“It's so much fun when you can turn anything into a big, crazy musical number.” “Everything is infinitely more fun.”
