Rumors about a possible Barbie sequel are gaining attention after Matthew McConaughey reacted to casting suggestions. The Oscar-winning actor recently addressed the idea of joining the world of Kens if the second film is made.
The discussion began when actress America Ferrera, who played Gloria in Barbie (2023), suggested McConaughey as the “King of the Kens.” Ferrera’s performance in the film earned her an Academy Award nomination, and her casting proposal quickly caught public interest.
McConaughey responded during a television appearance, showing excitement at the possibility. He said seeing mockups of himself as the character made the idea feel real. “It’d be hard to say no to that, wouldn’t it?” he added, fueling speculation about his involvement.
Margot Robbie, the star and producer of Barbie, also weighed in. When told of McConaughey’s reaction, she expressed enthusiasm. Robbie called the thought “wonderful,” but stopped short of confirming any sequel plans. She reminded fans that no official announcement has been made regarding Barbie 2.
The original Barbie film, directed by Greta Gerwig, was released in July 2023. It became a global hit, led by Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken.
The cast also included America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, Will Ferrell, Simu Liu, and Dua Lipa.
With the movie’s massive success, talk of a sequel continues to spark interest. Adding a star like McConaughey only increases speculation, though Warner Bros. has yet to confirm production details.
For now, fans are left to wonder whether the Matthew McConaughey Barbie sequel rumors will turn into reality.
