The 26-year-old is set to star in the biopic I, Tonya, which follows the skater at the 1994 Winter Olympics, where she was found at the center of a scandal where she and her husband hired a man to break the leg of her biggest competitor, Nancy Kerrigan. The incident left Harding stripped of her title and banned from competing for life.
Craig Gillsespie (The Finest Hours, Lars and the Real Girl) is directing, and actors Sebastian Stan and Allison Janney are also reportedly linked to the project. The film, which is being produced by Robbie's company, LuckyChap Entertainment, has no release date yet.
