Margot Robbie will portray Cleopatra in Greta Gerwig’s upcoming film, a project that has sparked considerable anticipation. Gerwig, recognized for her innovative storytelling, is expected to infuse a modern, feminist angle into the narrative of the famed Egyptian queen.
Robbie expressed her enthusiasm for the role, highlighting Cleopatra’s visionary nature and her intention to honor the complexity of the historical figure. The film aims to emphasize Cleopatra’s political skills and leadership qualities, distancing itself from traditional depictions that often reduce her to merely a romantic interest.
Filming for the project is scheduled to commence in late 2025, with a release anticipated in 2027. This collaboration marks a significant continuation of the partnership between Robbie and Gerwig following their successful endeavor with the film *Barbie*. The upcoming portrayal of Cleopatra looks promising and is expected to provide a fresh perspective on her legacy as a formidable leader in history.
