Little bit of a tricky yr for Margot on the film entrance — not solely have been issues meh on the field workplace … however she additionally stated the ‘Pirates’ film she was hooked up to had been killed by Disney — despite the fact that one of many producers for the franchise insisted that is not fairly the case.
She’s bought rather a lot on the horizon for 2023, although — MR’s already set to star in ‘Barbie’, in addition to a Wes Anderson flick, ‘Asteroid Metropolis,’ … to not point out her personal ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ prequel. The one (potential) downside … all of these may have tremendous stacked casts too.
Good luck!
