Margot Robbie plays a broad range of roles in her films.

For viewers who may have just recently discovered Margot Robbie through Barbie, there are other films she is featured in that are just as great if not better. 

For DC superhero movie fans, Robbie is easily recognizable for her role as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad. She also was featured in the film Birds of Prey, which takes place after Harley’s breakup with the Joker. The film puts Quinn on a journey of self discovery to figure out the type of life she now needs to live. She ends up getting herself into trouble not only with law enforcement but with fellow villains due to no longer having the protection of the Joker. 

Robbie does a great job portraying how a heartbroken Harley Quinn would act. Robbie not only looks like the perfect fit for the role, but she also has the perfect voice for it compared to previous actresses. 

Overall, Birds of Prey is a great watch for not only DC fans but for anyone interested in seeing the broad range of roles Robbie can successfully play. 

Based on a true story, I, Tonya, featuring Robbie, is an emotional movie with one of the most interesting stories in competitive ice skating history. 

The film is about Tonya Harding, a competitive ice skater who was linked to an attack on her rival, skater Nancy Kerrigan.

The film shows how complicated Harding’s life had been. She was brought up in a poor family with an abusive mother who ensured Harding would never be a quitter. Her ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, was accused of hiring Kerrigan’s attacker and eventually served time.

Robbie plays Harding excellently, and the way the story is told through a documentary-like style makes it far more interesting to watch. 

The popular film The Wolf of Wall Street may feature Leonardo DiCaprio as the main character, but Robbie’s role is a key part to the movie. 

The movie provides an inside look of becoming a stockbroker on Wall Street during its most successful time. Jordan Belfort’s dream was to become a stockbroker for Wall Street; he started out selling penny stocks and worked his way up to the top of the stock marketing food chain. 

Jordan leaves his wife for Naomi Lapaglia, played by Robbie. The movie has many iconic scenes between the two characters, and DiCaprio and Robbie have excellent chemistry. 

Robbie’s character goes through many big emotions and she plays them perfectly, not only with her facial expressions but with the tone of her voice. 

From Harley Quinn to Barbie, Robbie can play a broad range of roles. She is a great actress and all movie fans should explore more films that she is featured in.
