Margot Robbie lands new role alongside her ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ prequel

Margot Robbie is adding another intriguing project to her already packed schedule, and this one comes with a title that practically begs for an explanation.

The 36-year-old actress has signed on to star in A24’s The Week of Pain, a new film from filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli, according to Deadline.

The announcement was made Friday, November 13, although the studio is keeping the actual story firmly under wraps.

Borgli will write and direct the movie, with A24 financing and producing.

The project also brings together a familiar production team: Lars Knudsen and Ari Aster’s Square Peg, Dilemma Films, and Robbie’s own LuckyChap banner are all on board.

The film reunites Borgli with A24 and Square Peg after their success with The Drama.

The romantic dark comedy, starring Robert Pattinson and Zendaya, hit theaters earlier this year and pulled in $134 million worldwide, becoming one of A24’s biggest releases of 2026.

Meanwhile, Robbie has hardly been sitting around waiting for her next call sheet.

She has spent recent months filming the Ocean’s Eleven prequel in Europe alongside Bradley Cooper, who also directs the project.

Now she’s moving straight into another A24 production — though, with a title like The Week of Pain, fans may want to know what exactly they’re signing up for.

Plot details and the rest of the cast have yet to be announced. Until then, the title is doing plenty of the teasing. –Agencies
