Free Guy and Barbie: are they too similar?

I think it’s absolutely not safe. We’re developing a sequel, but the truth is, now you have Barbie who has obviously made her mark on a character in a fictional world coming to self-awareness. So, if we were to make a Free Guy 2, we would deviate from the first one
As can be seen in part, the director’s concern is mainly linked to topics addressed in both films, defined between them too similar. In fact, as with the protagonist of Free Guy who comes to the awareness of his own being; a similar path of awareness can be found in the pink protagonist played by Margot Robbie. The journey to the Real World will bring Barbie into crisis, discovering that Barbieland is no longer her home.
