Australia’s golden girl Margot Robbie has delivered another Hollywood hit — but this time she’s worlds away from Barbie.
The Queensland-born actor, 34, debuts a fresh new look starring alongside Colin Farrell, 49, in the whimsical romantic film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.
In the newly released trailer, Robbie sports strawberry blonde hair and a thick fringe, a departure from her bright blonde locks.
Set to hit Australian cinemas on September 18, the film also stars Kevin Kline and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
The story follows Sarah (Robbie) and David (Farrell), two strangers who meet at a mutual friend’s wedding. Sparks fly, and the pair soon embark on a surreal adventure, reliving the defining moments of their past in a quest to rediscover themselves.
The role marks a return to screen for Robbie, who announced in 2023 she would be stepping back from acting for a while following her massive run with Barbie.
But the actor hasn’t exactly slowed down. In addition to A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, she has her plate full while currently filming Emerald Fennell’s take on Wuthering Heights, where she stars opposite fellow Aussie Jacob Elordi.
Robbie is also producing the gothic adaptation through her company LuckyChap Entertainment, which she co-founded with husband Tom Ackerley.
It’s a busy chapter for both Robbie and Farrell. Each has recently delivered the biggest project of their career — Robbie’s being Barbie, the $1.4 billion global phenomenon that earned eight Oscar nominations, and Farrell’s being The Penguin, the gritty HBO series where he spent hours in prosthetics to become Gotham’s infamous villain.
“Going from The Penguin to this was quite simply stepping from the darkness into the light,” Farrell told Vanity Fair.
“As amazing as it was to work on The Penguin, that story was all about trauma and its various articulations and calcifications. This film is all about letting go of trauma — moving past it.”
