Margot Robbie: A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, Baby Joy, and LuckyChap's New Chapter

Margot Robbie BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

The most significant Margot Robbie development this week is her anticipated return to leading roles with A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, set to release September 19 and co-starring Colin Farrell. Early box office forecasts from Box Office Pro suggest an opening weekend haul of 10 to 15 million dollars, much lower than her Barbie blockbuster from last year but still substantial for director Kogonada’s high-profile, heartfelt fantasy romance. This is generating notable industry buzz given Barbie’s gigantic legacy, with Variety and Koimoi outlets framing the film as an important post-Barbie move. The promotional campaign has picked up steam as Robbie and Farrell appeared together in interviews, speaking about their onscreen chemistry and their preference for seeing movies in theaters, amplifying fan anticipation. Trailers running even in far-flung multiplexes and reaction pieces on iHollywoodTV and TikTok are swelling the movie’s visibility heading into awards season.

On the personal front, Margot Robbie has become a mother for the first time, welcoming a baby boy with husband Tom Ackerley. People magazine broke the story days ago, sparking surprise and celebration online. While fans have widely expressed support, select corners of social media aired bizarre criticism regarding the baby’s gender, which some outlets like FandomWire report made other users uncomfortable. Robbie herself has remained private about new details and has not spoken publicly about the birth, maintaining her tradition of keeping personal matters away from tabloid scrutiny.

Regarding her business activities, Robbie is actively growing her LuckyChap Entertainment portfolio. LuckyChap just announced longtime FilmNation executive Milan Popelka will join as a partner, a strategic move expected to strengthen its indie and international production reach. Popelka brings over 15 years of experience, and his arrival has been praised by Robbie and her partners for matching LuckyChap’s filmmaker-first ethos, as reported by Deadline and IMDb’s movie news desk.

In rare comments to Architectural Digest, Robbie gave a behind-the-scenes tour of her new LuckyChap office in Los Angeles, which features reimagined props from the Barbie set—most notably the iconic Mattel boardroom chairs. These details have been spotlighted in both People and AD, adding layers to her public persona as both creatively hands-on and humble, opting to hide the company’s awards amongst books and furniture.

On social media, Robbie is off the grid for now. Earlier this summer she posted a goodbye note announcing a hiatus from platforms like Instagram, prompting fans to follow LuckyChap’s account instead for news about her projects. Many outlets including IMDb and KoiMoi remarked that this aligns with her overall aversion to oversharing and preference for focusing on content creation rather than self-promotion.

No major public appearances have been reported in the last several days, and she has kept red carpet events to a minimum since the Barbie awards circuit wrapped. Any unconfirmed rumors regarding new roles or surprise cameos remain unsubstantiated, with the verified headlines clear that Robbie is prioritizing motherhood, creative production, and her major film lead this fall.
