Babylon follows an ambitious cast of characters — The Silent Film Superstar (Brad Pitt), the Young Starlet (Margot Robbie), the Production Executive (Diego Calva), the Musical Sensation (Jovan Adepo), and the Alluring Powerhouse Performer (Li Jun Li) — who are striving to stay on top of the raucous, 1920s Hollywood scene and maintain their relevance at a time when the industry is moving on to the next best thing.

Robbie previously revealed some of the figures from Hollywood’s history that she turned to for inspiration.
“Something that really struck me when researching for this, I watched Wings, which is a movie that Clara Bow was in, and Clara Bow largely inspired my character,” Robbie explained to ComicBook.com. “And it’s the first Best Picture winner ever from 1927. And to see that movie and it be better than 90% of the movies I’ve ever seen in my life, it’s just like, God, that was almost a hundred years ago, and look what they could do. It’s so cool.”
