Headline: Barbie sequel stalls over star salaries

Caption: The much-anticipated follow-up to the box-office hit Barbie is floundering amid salary negotiations. A report by The New York Times has revealed that Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav has balked at the rich deals proposed by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling for the second film. Gosling, who was nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar for his role as Ken, is angling to raise his pay to $20 million (£15 million), the outlet reports, citing a Warner Bros spokesperson who noted that there has not been an agreed-upon financial framework for the return.
