Barbie Sequel Stalls: Ryan Gosling's $20 Million Demand Shakes Things Up

The Margot Robbie-led Barbie sequel has stalled, allegedly due to a misalignment regarding finances.

The 36-year-old Australian actress was set to reprise her role as the iconic blonde doll, with 45-year-old co-star Ryan Gosling joining, but unsuccessful negotiations at Warner Bros. have reportedly left the project in limbo.

On Friday the New York Times indicated that David Zaslav, who heads the production company, found the studio's proposed deal to the lead stars 'too generous,' citing an unspecified source.
