As well as appearing in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, the actress has been filming Emerald Fennel's Wuthering Heights adaptation alongside fellow Aussie Jacob Elordi. Margot is also producing the classic via her production company LuckyChap Entertainment, which she started with her husband Tom Ackerley. The Suicide Squad alum previously said she was planning on hitting the breaks following the success of her lead role in Barbie. Speaking to Deadline, she said she planned to work off-screen after years of building her acting portfolio. She added that she wanted to take a break from starring in movies as she thinks everyone is 'sick' of seeing her after her role in the Greta Gerwig's blockbuster. 'I also think everyone's probably sick of the sight of me for now. I should probably disappear from screens for a while,' she said. 'Honestly, if I did another movie too soon, people would say, "Her again? We just did a whole summer with her. We're over it."' Margot added: 'I don't know what I'll do next, but I hope it's a little while away.' The thespian noted that she's also been busy working behind the screen producing. Elsewhere in the interview, Margot laid bare her ambitions to direct a movie of her own, after years of producing critically acclaimed content. 'I really do want to direct,' she said. 'I've felt like I wanted to direct for about the last seven years. But I've always seen it as a privilege, not a right.'

Margot Robbie shows off her new LuckyChap Entertainment office space to Architectural Digest on May 27 and it turns out she kept furniture from the Barbie movie The actress and her interior designer Scarlett Hessian walked through the freshly designed office as they talked about the inspiration behind each room In the 'central hub' Robbie said the now-assistants' desk chairs was used by Will Ferrell and his Mattel execsTake a sneak peak inside Margot Robbie's office! The Barbie actress, 34, gave Architectural Digest a behind-the-scenes tour of her production company LuckyChap Entertainment's office space in Los Angeles on May 27. In the center hallway space that's used as a 'central hub' for production employees, Robbie gave a stealthy nod to her role in the billion-dollar blockbuster film. 'The chairs are actually in the Barbie movie when you're in the Mattel CEO office, and all the Mattel guys are sitting around on the pink chairs,' the three-time Oscar nominee said during the office tour. The chairs from Mattel's headquarters were bright pink in the film that were used by Will Ferrell and his fellow 'Mattel execs' for their boardroom meetings. Following the film, Robbie worked with London-based interior designer Scarlett Hessian from Studio Hessian to transform the $3,195 Saarinen armchairs into something a little more conducive to the space.

'We just had them reupholstered, because at the end of the movie — I mean, they were quite expensive, actually — I was like, 'Wait, what's going to happen to these chairs?' ' With the chair's new rusty orange offset checkered fabric, they fit rather nicely with the mid-century modern-inspired workspace.

'Scarlett obviously was a genius about utilizing a very strange shape and I love it now,' Robbie said about working with the designer. The back wall behind the built-in desk is draped with dusty pink curtains concealing whiteboards — perhaps an additional nod to her Mattel character. Other fun elements of Robbie's personal office include a standing lamp with tassels, a golden-base lamp that she purchased in Paris and a large plush white couch.

'Also we were too embarrassed to put any awards anywhere else around the office,' Robbie said, letting out a laugh. 'So we kind of styled them in,' Hessian added finishing Robbie's sentence. 'We kind of like hide them amongst the books and it's a humble brag that way, I guess,' Robbie said. Robbie's next movie, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, opens on Sept. 19.

Margot Robbie stuns in gothic wedding gown while filming 'Wuthering Heights' adaptation, sparking debate over authenticity
Margot Robbie turned heads as she was photographed in a dramatic off-the-shoulder wedding gown while filming Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights. The 36-year-old Australian actress plays Catherine Earnshaw in the $80 million production, set for a February 2026 release. Joining her on the misty Yorkshire Moors was Saltburn star Jacob Elordi, who portrays the brooding Heathcliff. Robbie's voluminous costume, complete with a flowing veil and bouquet of roses, captured the attention of fans and photographers alike. The actress's transformation for the role comes just months after the birth of her first child, adding to the admiration of her return to screen. Photo: The film is being produced by Robbie's LuckyChap Entertainment, which previously collaborated with Fennell on Saltburn and Promising Young Woman. While plot details remain under wraps, filming reportedly began in January, with the adaptation aiming to bring a modern visual approach to Emily Brontë's literary classic. Robbie recently spoke about her co-star Elordi in Harper's Bazaar, saying, 'He's wonderful… he's got an incredible presence. He's a movie star—he's got that charisma. He holds a frame.' The pair had previously worked together behind the scenes, but Wuthering Heights marks their first time sharing the screen. Despite the excitement, the casting has stirred controversy. Brontë's novel describes Catherine as a teenager, while Robbie is 36. Similarly, Heathcliff—often portrayed with dark skin and an ambiguous ethnic background—will be played by 27-year-old Elordi, prompting online backlash about 'whitewashing' and historical inaccuracy. Fans also questioned the decision to cast what one critic described as 'Instagram-model actors' in a gritty period piece. Still, the film is expected to draw strong attention, given the high-profile team behind it.
