“Well, that’s still in development. Word got out about that; we didn’t release anything because it’s way too soon, to be honest. Whether it winds up being the next thing, I don’t know. I don’t think so. It’s a pretty big project to put together and there are certain logistical things that we have to time it around.”
She further explained-
“For us as a company, we have a film with Olivia Wilde [Naughty], which is moving quite quickly, so that could be the next thing we shoot. I’m not acting in it, just producing. A couple of TV things should go this year too. And for me as an actor, I love acting in things that I’m not a producer on, so I’m looking at a couple of things but there’s nothing concrete yet.”

Margot Robbie Reflects On The First Decade Of Her Acting Career In Hollywood
Margot Robbie rose to fame with Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf Of Wall Street in 2014. It’s almost been a decade since her first collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio and the 33-year-old actor is one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood. During a recent interview with Deadline, the Suicide Squad actor reflected back on her journey in the entertainment world. She said-
‘Yeah. I mean, I haven’t worked anywhere else, so it’s hard to know if what we’re doing is different from what other people are doing. If we’re any more successful at it or whatever. Producing is such a nebulous job, and everyone has different priorities. I have some producer friends who just want to get things going because for them it’s all about collect the fees, collect the fees, collect the fees. I suppose it depends what the setup is for success, really. For us, it’s definitely quality over quantity, and making sure we maintain a level of quality in anything we do.”
She further explained-
“That’s something that gets easier. We’re going to be 10 years old next year, and it’s definitely easier for us to do that now. In the beginning, it was about getting what you could get. If someone’s going to let you produce their movie, you’re like, OK, let’s go. It’s hard to be idealistic about the kind of films you want to make when you’re just lucky to get anything at all.”
Margot Robbie’s Barbie went on to become one of biggest blockbusters leaving behind Christopher Nolan’s magnum opus project Oppenheimer. The fantasy drama went on to make $1.4 billion worldwide against a budget of $145 million.
Barbie can be streamed on HBO Max.
