Margot Robbie Wants a Disney Project

While Margot Robbie is best known to audiences for her role as the DC Extended Universe's Harley Quinn, she has become a pretty formidable figure in the world of film and television. Robbie was recently featured in The Hollywood Reporter's 100 Most Powerful People in Entertainment list, where she and several other creators were asked who they would call if they accidentally found the phone of Disney CEO Bob Iger.

Obviously, you know, it's not a traditional team-up. So then it was about finding fun, inventive ways of doing that. Warners were very supportive in terms of letting me go off-leash."

In addition to that, Robbie and LuckyChap have a couple of other high-profile projects currently in the works, ranging from a reboot of Tank Girl to a live-action take on Barbie, the latter of which would potentially

"I think it's a great opportunity to put some positivity out into the world and a chance to be aspirational for younger kids," Robbie said of the Barbie film in an interview this past July.
