Portrait of Margot Robbie, Unplanned Role in WUTHERING HEIGHTS

Margot Robbie just revealed an interesting fact about her involvement in the film WUTHERING HEIGHTS. It turns out, the BARBIE star was not originally planned to play Catherine Earnshaw in this adaptation of the classic novel by Emily Bronte. This gothic romantic film, scheduled for release in 2026, will also pair Robbie with Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, the iconic couple full of suffering.

Since her promotional tour video went viral and Robbie's romantic-gothic fashion style became the center of attention, this film has everyone talking. Moreover, the cast lineup is impressive. From Alison Oliver and Owen Cooper to Ewan Mitchell and Shazad Latif, they all come together in this ambitious project. Robbie and her husband, Tom Ackerley, are also involved as producers through LuckyChap Entertainment.

But behind the hype, Robbie revealed something quite surprising. According to her, she was actually not part of the initial casting plan. "I was not always planned to be in that film," Robbie explained while appearing on The Graham Norton Show with Elordi, as reported by marieclaire.co.uk.

Margot Robbie shares that initially she only submitted her name during the casting process. "I was very excited to be a producer, but at the time we were discussing Cathy, I decided to join in."

Margot Robbie also added, "I have always wanted to be one of Emerald's actors, and fortunately, she felt the same way. Everything went well."

This will be a new experience for Margot Robbie, because although she has often worked with Emerald Fennell through Promising Young Woman (2020) and Saltburn (2023), this is the first time she appears as an actress in a film directed by Fennell.

Margot Robbie also praised the director's approach to this classic work. "Emerald loves the book and she is really focused on the feelings she had when she first read it at the age of 14. She expresses that emotional experience, so this is an interpretation more than just an adaptation."

For Robbie, the tragic love story of Catherine and Heathcliff remains one of the greatest tales of all time.

"In my opinion, this is one of the greatest love stories of all time and has a great cast and outstanding actors. It is a great film," he added.

In general, this film tells the story of the obsessive love between Catherine and Heathcliff that triggers generational revenge in Wuthering Heights, presenting a love story that destroys everything.
