She became crazed, yes, but uninteresting, never. She…

With the success of the new movie, there are rumblings about a sequel, TV show, and other exciting brand expansions. “We haven’t announced anything, and it’s probably a bit early to talk about sequels, but obviously, with the success of the film…that would invite more opportunities,” Kreiz said after Mattel’s quarterly earnings call. “We operate in an industry where everyone is looking for these moments, for these brands, for these cultural events.
