Margot Robbie Signs First-Look Deal with Warner Bros.

Margot Robbie in “Focus”: Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.

Margot Robbie has signed a first-look deal with Warner Bros., The Hollywood Reporter writes. The deal will see Robbie developing and producing films through her LuckyChap Entertainment company.

Robbie appeared in the studio’s lucrative but critically panned “Suicide Squad” this summer. Many critics singled out her performance as a highlight of the film. She also acted in “Focus” and “The Legend of Tarzan” for the studio.

Robbie and LuckyChap have the neo-noir thriller “Terminal” in the can and are developing the Tonya Harding biopic, “I, Tonya,” and an adaptation of “Bad Monkeys,” a novel by Matt Ruff, for Universal.

For Warner Bros., Robbie already has two projects set for the deal: a “Suicide Squad” spinoff for her character Harley Quinn and other female-villains of the DC Comics universe, and “Queen of the Air,” in which she’ll play a trapeze artist.

Robbie’s LuckyChap colleagues include Tom Ackerley, Josey McNamara, and Sophia Kerr.
