Warner Bros. Pictures’ film adaptation of Wuthering Heights features some of the most recognizable faces in the business, starting with Hollywood royalty Margot Robbie. The Australia native, whose most acclaimed movies include The Wolf of Wall Street, I, Tonya, Mary Queen of Scots and Barbie, is playing the role of Catherine. She is accompanied by her co-star Jacob Elordi, who most recently starred as the Creature in Netflix’s Frankenstein.

Margot teased how “brilliant” the adaptation is during an August 2025 interview with Josh Horowitz.

“Just you wait,” the actress said in a snippet from the conversation. “It’s bananas. It’s great. It’s brilliant. You’ll see a little sneak peek soon.”
