From Global Box Office Dominance to High-Concept Narrative Cinema
After steering Barbie to over $1.4 billion worldwide, Robbie has strategically shifted toward original, performance-heavy projects while retaining her massive commercial leverage. Her primary upcoming acting vehicle, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, pairs her with Golden Globe winner Colin Farrell under the direction of acclaimed filmmaker Kogonada (After Yang, Pachinko).
Scripted by Seth Reiss (The Menu), the original romantic fantasy drama was acquired by Sony Pictures for major worldwide theatrical distribution. The narrative follows two strangers who connect under extraordinary circumstances, embarking on an unpredictable emotional journey. The project marks Robbie's first major theatrical acting return following her historic 2023–2024 award season run, establishing her commitment to original storytelling on a global scale.
Emerald Fennell Reunion and Ocean's Eleven Expansion
Robbie is also expanding her creative partnership with writer-director Emerald Fennell for a high-profile adaptation of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. Having previously produced Fennell’s Oscar-winning Promising Young Woman and 2023’s culture-shifting Saltburn, Robbie steps in front of the camera this time to play Catherine Earnshaw, alongside Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff.
Simultaneously, progress continues on the highly anticipated 1960s-set Ocean's Eleven prequel. The project reunites Robbie with her Barbie co-star Ryan Gosling under the direction of Jay Roach (Bombshell). Designed as an original heist thriller set against Monte Carlo's glamour era, the feature aims to revitalize the franchise through period-authentic cinematic craftsmanship rather than modern digital spectacle.

LuckyChap's Expanding Empire and Future Industry Outlook
Beyond her screen roles, Robbie's influence as a producer through LuckyChap Entertainment—co-founded with Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara—has made her one of the most powerful executives in modern Hollywood. The production banner is actively building out a diverse slate of high-concept intellectual property adaptations, including a feature film based on The Sims franchise with director Kate Herron (Loki) and a live-action Monopoly movie in partnership with Hasbro and Lionsgate.
By balancing peak-star power in front of the camera with trend-setting producer instinct behind it, Robbie enters the mid-2020s with unprecedented creative autonomy. Whether navigating original high-concept dramas or reshaping heritage IP, her slate remains one of the most commercially critical and critically watched lineups in the entertainment industry.
