The latest development about the X-Men cast reveals exactly why Margot Robbie was not an option. With the X-Men coming into the MCU, rumors about Robbie playing Emma Frost were circulating among fans.
However, the speculation lost its momentum when Deadline revealed that Australian actor Samara Weaving was cast as Frost. Following the news, many fans were surprised by the absence of Robbie. But a crucial piece of information hinted that Marvel never really considered the Wuthering Heights star. The report mentioned that auditions were being conducted to determine the perfect fit for the mutant character.
Connecting the dots, @krolljvar summed up on X (Formerly Twitter), “So auditions for X-Men has been going on since May and the Frost part is the search that has been the most thorough. That said they were always looking to audition this part like all the others so someone like Margot was never a reality since she no longer test for roles.”
Margot Robbie has another superhero role she could return to instead of playing Emma Frost
For the ones longing to see Margot Robbie in a superhero avatar, the Barbie star can still fulfill their wishes. After all, the 36-year-old has played the role of Harley Quinn in DC movies. She debuted as the psychopath in Suicide Squad (2016). Starring alongside the likes of Jared Leto, Will Smith, and others, the movie portrayed a bunch of supervillains embarking on a dangerous mission. This movie also explored the toxic relationship between Joker and Quinn.
Robbie reprised her role as Quinn in the 2020 movie Birds of Prey as well as in 2021’s The Suicide Squad, directed by James Gunn. However, even though her portrayal of Quinn was critically acclaimed, there is no confirmation as to whether she will continue in DC.
Back in 2025, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Gunn had a cryptic take on Robbie’s iteration of Quinn. He said, “That will be revealed down the line.”
