It is such a hit that talks have already begun to get the follow-up into production, insiders said.
A source said: “Crew who worked on the Barbie film have been contacted to discuss working on the follow-up.
“It is very early days, but it’s become apparent that bosses want the same crew for the sequel as they did for the first.
“Emails have been sent but firmer details have to be finalised.”
Barbie, which opened in the UK on July 21, was the brainchild of Margot — who brought in Oscar- nominated director Greta Gerwig.
It is the first film by a female director to take over $1billion.
Margot, 33, got the movie’s ball rolling when she went to toy-maker Mattel for the rights in 2018.
The film follows Margot’s Barbie and Ryan’s Ken as they go on a journey of “self-discovery” after they get expelled from the utopia of Barbie Land.
Alongside Greta, Margot also chose the cast, selecting them on their “Barbie energy”.
English actresses Ritu Arya and Emerald Fennell joined Irish star Nicola Coughlan and Scotland’s Sharon Rooney in starring roles.
British singer Dua Lipa appears as a mermaid and is also on the movie’s soundtrack.
Alongside Ryan, 42, other Kens in the film include British stars Ncuti Gatwa — the new Doctor Who — and Kingsley Ben-Adir.
