After Ryan Gosling<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s latest film, The Fall Guy<\/em>, proved to be a box-office flop, he\u2019s now anxiously pushing Margot Robbie<\/strong><\/a> to reunite Ken and Barbie for more fun in the sun, sources exclusively tell Life & Style<\/em>.<\/p>\n

With the smash success of their 2023 film, for which Ryan was nominated for an Academy Award<\/a>, the 43-year-old actor appears to be hoping for a sequel<\/a> based on the iconic Mattel fashion doll to get greenlit at the earliest opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s truly been the best of times and the worst of times for Ryan, all in the span of the last few months,\u201d reveals an insider. \u201cBarbie<\/em><\/a> made him a permanent A-lister and exceeded all expectations, and his Oscars singing performance made him an instant Hollywood legend and won him tons of new fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, The Fall Guy<\/em> had a less-than-stellar debut in its opening weekend, taking in $28.5 million domestically after it was projected to bring in between $30 and $40 million. The film, which also starred Emily Blunt<\/strong>, reportedly had a large budget of approximately $140 million. Barbie<\/em>, however, grossed over $155 million domestically in its opening weekend, making it the biggest opening in history for a female director.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Fall Guy<\/em> bombed and Ryan dropping out of Wolf Man<\/em> late last year was the end of a job that could have earned him many millions more,\u201d the source says, also noting that an upcoming Ocean\u2019s 11<\/em> prequel slated to star Ryan and Margot is not moving along as quickly as anticipated.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis planned takeover of the Ocean\u2019s Eleven<\/em> franchise that his onetime mentor George Clooney<\/strong> once helmed has been pushed down the road to get the budget under control,\u201d the insider explains. \u201cIt\u2019s become increasingly clear that more Barbie<\/em> is the only sure bet he\u2019s got.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, it may be difficult to get Barbie and Ken back in action. \u201cHe\u2019ll have to move heaven and earth to get a sequel or a Ken spinoff made because those movies don\u2019t happen without Margot Robbie involved,\u201d the source says, \u201cand she\u2019s committed herself to literally a dozen other projects at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dramatic ups and downs have been hard on the three-time Oscar nominee.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so strange that just a couple of months ago the world was Ryan\u2019s oyster and now he\u2019s had this splash of cold water thrown in his face,\u201d says the source, adding that \u201che has no choice but to go back and play the hits!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
