As talk of a possible sequel to the hit “Barbie” movie continues, Gerwig finds herself at the center of controversy, facing criticism from right-wing Barbie critics who say, “This is an invitation for everyone to be part of the party.”
In his interview with NYTthe acclaimed filmmaker was asked if he “anticipated the extent to which right-wing pundits would scorn the film as ‘woke’ and burn their Barbies.”
“Of course, there’s a lot of passion,” he replied. “My hope for the film is that it’s an invitation for everyone to be part of the party and let go of things that don’t necessarily serve us as women or men.”

Gerwig also addressed criticism of Mattel’s level of creative involvement in the film’s production during her interview with NYT.
The toy company, which owns the iconic Barbie doll line and serves as an executive producer for the film, has been at the center of discussions about possible interference in the creative process.
What sparked the conversation about the company’s intervention was a scene in particular where a character describes the doll as “sexist and fascist.”
Gerwig explained the dynamic between her and Mattel to set the record straight.
“It’s not like I ever got the full seal of approval from [Mattel], like, ‘We love it!’ I got a tentative, ‘Okay, OK. I see you’re going to do this, so go ahead and we’ll see how it goes,’” he explained.
Gerwig continued, “But that’s all you need, and I have faith when it’s there and they see that they’ll embrace it, not fight it. Maybe at the end of the day, my desire to have it is stronger than the other desire to get it out.”
