I definitely had those moments of, ‘I can do it, I am an independent woman’ and then ‘holy sh*t, this is so hard and scary, maybe I can’t.’ I had a lot of those moments when I first started working on Neighbours and was just trying to figure out life,” she says. “I didn’t know anyone in Melbourne and that was scary. It was a Harley Quinn-esque new beginning that provided a turning point for Margot personally. It was an early upheaval from her hometown of Dalby, northwest of Brisbane, where she was brought up by her physiotherapist mother and her father who worked in farming, with her three siblings.
BIRDS OF PREY CAST MOVIE
With The Wolf Of Wall Street, I loved playing the gold digger, trophy wife – I had the best time of my life in that movie – but unless it’s coming from a different conscious space, I don’t want to play the same person.”Įvery role may present Margot with a new chapter but the very beginning for her came 7,932 miles away from LA in Melbourne, Australia, where she moved, aged 17, to play Donna Freedman in Neighbours. “I always knew I wanted to get out of my comfort zone. “I never want to play the same character more than once,” Margot tells me. I still get it sometimes and think everyone will realise, ‘how did you get here? You are not good enough for this? Who let you in?’ you are going to do it different." (Margot on her advice to her younger self)
“I would want to tell her, ‘you are actually good enough.’ The biggest thing for me was I had this imposter syndrome. Throughout, Margot has shown steely determination and little regard for playing to reductive stereotypes, and that is shown by her landing two nominations in the Best Supporting Actress category at this year’s BAFTAsfor her two most recent roles. After The Wolf Of Wall Street, she played a pox-ridden Elizabeth I opposite Saoirse Ronan in Mary Queen Of Scots, garnered an Oscar nomination for playing the complex AF figure skater, Tonya Harding in I, Tonya, and most recently played Sharon Tate in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and stole many a scene as a wannabe Fox News anchor in a Golden Globe-nominated performance in Bombshell. While that may have been an uncharacteristically ‘pitchy’ performance, since Margot broke Hollywood as Leonardo DiCaprio’s seductive wife in The Wolf Of Wall Street, her acting has rarely been out of tune – but, she says, if it wasn’t for the fact she slapped Leonardo DiCaprio across the face in the audition out of the blue, with 30 seconds to go, she may not be sitting beside me today.īut Margot rarely sits this still. “I just adore her, nothing makes me happier,” the 29-year-old exclaims, as she greets me with a hug on a rare dreary LA day. The next flick in the DC Extended Universe will be December’s Aquaman, starring Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, and Nicole Kidman, and Willem Dafoe.I first met Margot Robbie unexpectedly last summer, as we sang our hearts out to Celine Dion’s greatest hits during the singer’s Hyde Park performance – and it seems nothing makes Margot more animated than Celine. In the Birds of Prey film, Cassandra Cain will be the catalyst for the feature’s narrative, as Gotham kingpin Roman Sionis (aka Black Mask, Ewan McGregor) hunts her down following her escape from the League of Assassins, and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), the Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and Detective Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez) team up to protect her.īirds of Prey is due for release on the 7th of February, 2020.
It’s unlikely this will play into Warner Bros’ slated Batgirl feature, however, which is expected to use the Barbara Gordon version of the character. Cain later shakes off her conditioning, befriends Bruce Wayne, and takes on the mantle of Batgirl. Raised mute and devoid of social contact, she is imprinted by a harsh conditioning program in order to create the deadliest killer in the world. In the comic books, Cassandra Cain is the daughter of master assassins David Cain and Lady Shiva. Child actor and relative-newcomer Ella Jay Basco is seemingly in final negotiations to join the cast of director Cathy Yan’s DCEU feature Birds of Prey, as Cassandra Cain.
