Margot Robbie: Audio Biography

About
Margot Robbie BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

This week Margot Robbie once again finds herself at the center of Hollywood conversation thanks to a flurry of headlines and some telling public outings. First up and making waves in both industry trades and fan circles is the news that Robbie is in early talks to star in Tim Burton’s anticipated remake of Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. Variety broke the story confirming conversations are underway, though the deal is not closed, and if Robbie steps into the lead, she will also produce via LuckyChap Entertainment. The production is hunting for a new screenwriter after Gillian Flynn reportedly exited the project. The move would further cement Robbie’s post-Barbie run as a powerhouse producer and leading lady according to Variety and Bloody Disgusting.

Robbie’s longtime style influence also got its spotlight as she embarked on the press tour for her new film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. This marks her first red carpet circuit in almost a year, and fashion outlets like W Magazine devoted coverage to her dramatic all-black Vivienne Westwood ensemble that fused corset dressing and deconstructed tailoring. Just days before, she hit the Los Angeles premiere of My Old Ass with husband Tom Ackerley. The two, both producers on the project, walked the red carpet together in Beverly Hills, but that appearance was largely overshadowed by speculation of Robbie’s pregnancy after photos of her with a visible baby bump emerged at both the premiere and earlier at Wimbledon. While Robbie has not confirmed anything herself, the photos have driven a swell of tabloid interest. AOL and Daily Mail have both run with the story, making her growing family a subject of public fascination.

On the quieter front, Robbie gave a rare look into her private life by making her first public comments about motherhood. In interviews with Access Hollywood and Us Weekly, she described being a mom as “the best,” expressing how profoundly parenthood has changed her and how some things only parents can truly understand. The interruptions by her baby boy during a live interview added a charming, very human layer to press coverage, as noted by Sports Illustrated’s Diana Nosa and Entertainment Online. Despite the curiosity, Robbie is steadfastly private about details like her son’s name.

In terms of business, Robbie’s LuckyChap continues to build steam with high-profile development. The company is producing film adaptations of pop-culture brands like The Sims and Monopoly, and buzz is building about their “bananas” take on Wuthering Heights, directed by Emerald Fennell and co-starring Jacob Elordi, now slated for release in early 2026. In interviews with MTV and PEOPLE, Robbie teased that the film is “more bananas than Saltburn.” Meanwhile, Ella Purnell has publicly expressed her desire to be involved in The Sims movie, highlighting Robbie’s continued clout with top young talent as reported in ETalk and FandomWire.

On the superhero side, Robbie told Variety there are currently no plans for her to reprise Harley Quinn in the new DC Universe, saying, “No, I’ve heard nothing.” That has put an end to rampant internet rumors for now.

Lastly, Robbie recently announced a break from social media, encouraging fans to follow LuckyChap for updates. She cited a desire to step back from the public eye after the “Barbie” blitz and stated to Deadline that she wants to avoid overexposure.

In sum, the past week has seen Margot Robbie navigating that tricky balance between international movie stardom, producing power, and an expanding private life—all while maintaining her signature mix of glamour, ambition, and controlled mystery.
