Margot Robbie in talks to star in Barbie live-action movie to be directed by 'Wonder Woman' director Patty Jenkins

28-year-old Australian actress Margot Robbie is in talks to take up a starring role in the upcoming Barbie film to be helmed by 'Wonder Woman' director Patty Jenkins

Production on the 'Barbie' movie, based on Mattel's world-famous dolls, has been in limbo for quite some time now. At first, Sony was attached to the project with comedian-cum-actress Amy Schumer supposedly filling in as the titular lead. When those talks went south, Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway's name was also thrown into the mix, but to no avail.

After much delay, though, a feature film based on the globally-recognized Barbie dolls is finally said to be in development at Warner Bros. And if this piece of news doesn't excite you, the big names associated with the project will surely get you on your toes.

Oscar-nominated actress Margot Robbie — who has starred in a range of Hollywood hits from biopics like 'I, Tonya' to superhero flicks like 'Suicide Squad' — is in talks to take over the 'Barbie' movie, as per Deadline.
