Even though Barbie got shut out of a bunch of critical nominations, a sequel might not be out of the question.

“I mean, at the moment we are at zero,” Gerwig previously told Entertainment Tonight when asked about the rumors.

“Life is long,” she added. “You never know.”

For her part, the blonde beauty, who produced the film and starred as the titular character, said the cast and crew "put everything into this one."

“We didn’t build it to be a trilogy or something,” Robbie said. “Greta put everything into this movie, so I can’t imagine what would be next.”

The ladies did take home a trophy for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement at the 2024 Golden Globes, making them the first-ever winner in the category.

"I would like to dedicate this to every single person on the planet who dressed up and went to the greatest place on earth, the movie theaters," Robbie gushed, as Gerwig added, "Thank you, and thank you to everybody. All the Barbies and Kens in front of and behind the screen. It was the greatest, most joyful show of craftsmanship and passion I've ever seen."
