Robbie is having as good a year as any movie star in Hollywood after her smash hit Barbie, which she starred in and also produced through her LuckyChap banner, broke numerous records en route to $1.4 billion at the global box office. The film recently landed eight Oscar nominations including one Best Picture. Robbie had her pick of scripts to choose from following massive success of Barbie and recent weeks had landed on Big Bold Beautiful Journey as her next film.
