Margot Robbie catapulted to notoriety thanks to her role in Martin Scorsese’s 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street, and it’s astonishing how far she’s come in such a short period of time. She is also a producer who has performed on a number of notable films, including the recent smash Promising Young Woman.
Robbie’s profession is still in its early stages, but she has already had the opportunity to play the crazy and charming Harley Quinn.
Harley is one of the most cherished characters in the DCEU, despite the fact that audiences are split on the franchise.
Robbie successfully branched out into other genres and received two Oscar nominations, cementing her status as an Academy darling and demonstrating her flexibility as a performer.
1. Harley Quinn made her début in the now-iconic Batman: The Animated Series, as most fans are aware. The character was a huge hit right away, and she quickly made her way into the pages of comic books. Harley is now a mainstay of the Batman franchise, with her own HBO Max animated series.
While Harley was already well-liked before Suicide Squad was released in 2016, Robbie’s performance served to solidify the character’s popularity. For an entire generation, the actor defined Harley, and the two became bonafide stars as a result.
2. Mary Queen of Scots, released in 2018, was a critical and commercial flop. The film, which stars Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie, is about Mary, Queen of Scots, and her turbulent relationship with her cousin, Elizabeth I, Queen of England.
Despite the film’s negative reviews, critics and audiences felt that Robbie produced one of her best performances in it. She is a true force of nature as Elizabeth, dominating, overbearing, and absolute. It’s a difficult task, but Robbie stepped up to the plate and triumphed.
3. Robbie’s stardom was obvious from the minute she initially appeared in The Wolf of Wall Street. She commanded the screen, holding her own against a heavyweight like Leonardo DiCaprio, who was also putting in some of his best performances.
Robbie got the assignment, to use internet jargon. She was a fantastic match for the film’s tone, giving an over-the-top as well as heartfelt performance. It’s a tough combo to pull off, but Robbie managed it, and she did so with ease.
