Now imagine that version. that much energy, that much anticipation, that much emotion… but it’s not the right version. I actually think of it as a lucky thing.”

Margot Robbie’s fame has skyrocketed ever since she starred alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street. Moving onwards to portray the crazy, psychotic role of Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, Robbie solidified herself as a talented actress. Anne Hathaway agreed with the stance that Margot Robbie was indeed an inspiring sight to witness.

“Margot is sublime. What she is doing as a creative person and a producer is so exciting and inspiring. The mythic giants they toppled with [‘Barbie’] that have kept certain narratives in place that have not allowed opportunities to develop for so many people… they ran straight through it!”

The praise and compliments for Robbie and Greta Gerwig were indeed true as Barbie went on to receive a rating of 7/10 on IMDB and an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. Earning a whopping $1.44 billion worldwide, the film is available to stream on Max in the U.S.
