Margot Robbie made her lesser-known acting debut with the Australian serial killer flick ‘I.C.U.’ at the age of 17. She found her fortune in Hollywood with the 2013 movie ‘About Time.’ The time-travel romantic comedy featured Robbie alongside Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams and earned her significant fame and name.
The rising star got her breakthrough in the same year when Martin Scorcese roped her in for his true-to-life flick ‘Wolf of Wall Street.’ She took Hollywood by storm with her stunning portrayal of Naomi Lapaglia, the second wife of stockbroker mastermind Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. The critical and commercial success of the movie catapulted her to international recognition. Her other major credits include ‘Focus’ (2015), ‘The Legend of Tarzan’ (2016), ‘Suicide Squad’ (2016), the critically acclaimed ‘I, Tonya’ (2017) and more recently ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood‘ (2019).
With that said, in case you were wondering what is the next Margot Robbie movie or tv show, you are in the right place. Here’s the list of upcoming Margot Robbie films scheduled to release in the near future. We hope the new Margot Robbie performances are as good as her previous ones.
9. Bombshell (2019)
The women of Fox News during the Roger Ailes reign will have their voice heard again on the big screen this year. The upcoming untitled project centers on the infamous sexual harassment allegations and the legal battle that ensued against Fox News founder and head Roger Ailes. What started as an outburst of Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson about Ailes’ sexual advances, spread like wildfire and burned down the ivory tower Ailes had built upon the skeletons of his lusty deeds. The tainted media mogul was forced to step down after more women turned with similar allegations.
While Nicole Kidman plays the central character of Carlson, Margot Robbie portrays Kayla Pospisil, a News Producer with Fox. John Lithgow plays the controversial Roger Ailes and Charlize Theron is set to play Megyn Kelly, who raised another serious sexual misconduct allegation against Ailes. Other cast includes Malcolm McDowell as News Corp chairman Rupert Murdoch, Allison Janney, Mark Duplass, Alice Eve, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Liv Hewson, and Alanna Ubach. The movie is directed by Jay Roach from a screenplay by Charles Randolph. Lionsgate will release the film in theaters on December 20, 2019 release.
8. Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020)
Margot Robbie returns as her iconic character of the DC Extended Universe, Harleen Quinzel a.k.a Harley Quinn, in the upcoming superhero flick ‘Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn.’ The actress first stepped into the shoes of the DC Comics superwoman in the 2016 film ‘Suicide Squad.’
Though the plot details are under tight wrap, various reports suggest that Harley Quinn (Robbie) will team up with Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and Renee Montoya (Perez) to rescue Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco) who has been held hostage by the ruthless Black Mask (Ewan McGregor) in a Gotham City sans the masked crusader, Batman. ‘Birds of Prey’ is directed by Cathy Yan from a screenplay by Christina Hodson.

7. Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway (2020)
‘Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway’ is the sequel to ‘Peter Rabbit’. It picks up the plot from where the previous movie leaves off. We see that Peter Rabbit has run away from his home, while the humans are away on a vacation, celebrating their relationship. While on the road, Peter Rabbit makes a new friend, who claims to have known his father.
The official synopsis of the plot reads, “In PETER RABBIT 2: THE RUNAWAY, the lovable rogue is back. Bea, Thomas, and the rabbits have created a makeshift family, but despite his best efforts, Peter can’t seem to shake his mischievous reputation. Adventuring out of the garden, Peter finds himself in a world where his mischief is appreciated, but when his family risks everything to come looking for him, Peter must figure out what kind of bunny he wants to be.”
Basically, the narrative doubles down on the stepchild angle, showing how the humans care for Peter Rabbit, and how he acts out in his own ways. The first movie did not manage to be a great hit, which is something the sequel will attempt to change, once it releases on April 3, 2020.
