Her work in Bombshell

It was directed by Jay Roach, who is known for his films Austin Powers and Meet the Parents. Bombshell was released in December 2019 and was a critical and commercial success. It was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Theron.
Robbie spoke about the film and her character in an interview with the folks at Variety, saying,
“I was pretty rattled by the time I got to the end of the script, to be honest.” “And I knew long before I finished the script that I wanted to do it and be a part of it, just because I thought it was important to tell, and be a part of, and support in any way that I can. I hadn’t, for once, thought of the character first. I thought of the content and the messaging before kind of aligning myself with the character. That came next, was starting to understand Kayla.”
In addition to her work in Hollywood, Robbie is also an advocate for women’s rights. She is using her platform to challenge gender stereotypes and to tell stories that are important. She has spoken out about the importance of fighting sexual harassment and assault. She is also a vocal supporter of the #MeToo movement.
