Over the last fifteen years, Margot Robbie has grown to become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after actresses. She has made a name for herself as a versatile actress, having acted in everything from high-end historical pieces to DC superhero pictures. As of 2023, these are a few of the most popular Margot Robbie films.
I, Tonya
I, Tonya places the incident in the broader perspective of Harding’s background, where her controlling and verbally abusive mother (played by Allison Janney) forced her to take up skating. She struggles to blend in with the other skaters, despite her obvious skill. Intense and vulnerable at the same time, Margot Robbie captures Tonya Harding’s competitive spirit and flawless manic smile, driven by a need to show she belongs.
The Wolf of Wall Street
Margot Robbie portrays Naomi Lapaglia, the attractive spouse of Jordan Belfort, who gains notoriety by engaging in fraudulent activities throughout Wall Street, essentially pleading for an investigation. She can make the most of her supporting role because of her captivating on-screen presence.
Babylon
Babylon centres its unrestrained splendour around Margot Robbie. In the 1920s, she portrays Nellie LaRoy, a budding actress in the heart of silent Hollywood. Nellie, with all her untamed animal charm, is the film’s central character and its main reason for not receiving enough positive reviews from reviewers or viewers.
Asteroid City
In Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City, Margot Robbie appears in just one genuine scene, but it’s a big one. She’s referred to as “the wife who played my actress,” as Jason Schwarzman’s Augie puts it. She was meant to play a bigger part in the Asteroid City play within a movie, but in the finished version, all that appears of her is a picture of Augie’s recently departed wife.
Barbie
In the vibrant pink world of the Barbies, Margot Robbie plays the title character, Barbie, who leads a perfect existence up until things start to go wrong. Her feet, which were originally made for high heels, go flat, and the story concludes with a feminist awakening and the collapse of a society that was once entirely focused on Ken.
Dreamland
In this dreamy, atmospheric coming-of-age film, which takes place in 1930s Texas, the adolescent Eugene (Finn Cole) is utterly bored with his small town existence until he meets the glitzy, dangerous Allison Wells (Robbie), a notorious bank robber who has a bounty on her head. A strange bond forms between the two while she hides out in his family’s barn.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Robbie is a gifted actress who closely resembles Tate in the part; nevertheless, the real question is how Tarantino will approach Robbie’s terrible past—she was notoriously killed by members of the Manson family in 1969. A significant component of this is Robbie’s portrayal of Tate, who transforms into a figure of pure light whose surprise survival touches viewers’ emotions.
The Big Short
The movie examines how banks sold subprime mortgages and engaged in other dubious financial practises, none of which resulted in consequences or lessons learnt. This problem ultimately contributed to the 2008 recession. Of them, Margot Robbie’s explanation of financial market jargon while sipping champagne in a bathtub stands out the most.
Mary Queen of Scots
Margot Robbie has never stayed away from a historical drama, although she has a contemporary appearance. She plays the title character Mary Queen of Scots alongside Saoirse Ronan, with a face covered in powder that is meant to act as a kind of war armour to shield her fears. She is a challenge to Elizabeth because she embodies all the qualities that make her young, attractive, capable of procreation, and deserving of the throne.
Birds of Prey
With Birds of Prey (or Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn, as the film was initially named), Margot Robbie had the chance to achieve just that. Here, freed from her connection to the Joker, Robbie is able to completely reveal all the strange and insane sides of Harley Quinn.
