The past year has been quite eventful for Margot Robbie, particularly since the release of the Barbie movie last summer. While her acting prowess takes global recognition, Robbie is also making waves in Hollywood as a producer. With Harley Quinn undergoing a makeover and Robbie honing her skills behind the scenes, she appears to be revisiting her roots in comic portrayals, albeit in a fresh guise, to breathe life into a new character.

According to reports, Margot Robbie is currently preparing to produce a film on a comic character created by one of Deadpool's co-creators. What ties her involvement in this project with her work on Barbie is her steadfast commitment to championing female-led films.

It appears that Avengelyne, a creation of Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld, is transcending the confines of comic book pages to offer audiences a thrilling cinematic adventure. According to a recent report by Deadline, Olivia Wilde and Simon Kinberg are slated to direct this comic masterpiece, with Margot Robbie serving as a producer alongside Tom Ackerly, Josey McNamara, and Audrey Chon under the LuckyChap production banner. While the publication did anticipate the possibility of Robbie starring in the film, the team is currently refuting those claims.

For those curious about Avengelyne's significance, she is depicted as an angel whose primary mission is to combat evil forces in a world overrun by demons. Cast out from the heavens and stripped of her angelic powers, she remains humanity's last hope for redemption and survival. Thus, her journey not only entails saving herself but also serves as a beacon of hope for mankind. This unique storyline, characterized by a savior syndrome narrative, places a female hero at the forefront, adding a compelling dimension to the tale.

Margot Robbie Delivers the Ultimate Snub at Oscars 2024 but Fans Are Loving It

As the seasoned face of female-led movies, Margot Robbie is helming the producer’s chair, a similar turn-up to that of Barbie does not seem impossible. However, to set the records straight, this is not the first attempt to bring Avengelyne into the big screens.

In 2013, discussions swirled around Gina Carano, potentially starring in an adaptation centered on Avengelyne, while in 2016, Paramount Pictures reportedly secured the rights for a version helmed by filmmaker Akiva Goldsman. However, neither project materialized. Therefore, the decision to appoint Margot Robbie to the producer's role holds its significant rationale.

Despite facing an Oscar snub for Barbie, Robbie emerged as the second-highest-paid star of 2023, raking in $59 million solely for her role in the film, thanks to her dual responsibilities as producer and lead. Additionally, with Barbie initiating as the highest-grossing movie of 2023, LuckyChap Productions, the studio behind it, has become highly sought after, paving the way for Avengelyne's ascent to prominence. Hence, with Robbie and Wilde at the helm, a surge of comic heroism is poised to grace the film slate to create a new age of superhero universe.
