Margot Robbie é confirmada em filme da A24 dirigido por Kristoffer Borgli
Margot Robbie will star in ‘The Week of Pain’, a new film from A24 and Square Peg, the production companies confirmed on Friday, November 13, 2026. The project is directed and written by Kristoffer Borgli, the Norwegian filmmaker behind ‘The Drama’.
A24 will produce and finance the film. Square Peg, the banner run by Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen, is producing alongside Dilemma Films and Robbie’s own company, LuckyChap. The deal was first reported as an exclusive by Deadline, citing sources, and was later picked up by Variety.
Who is behind ‘The Week of Pain’
Robbie, the Australian actress known for ‘Barbie’, will lead the cast. Borgli, who wrote and directed the film, previously made ‘Dream Scenario’ and ‘Sick of Myself’ for A24. The new project brings him back together with A24 and Square Peg after ‘The Drama’, which stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson.

The project brings Borgli back to A24 and Square Peg after ‘The Drama’, the film that the two companies made with him. The sources consulted say the plot of ‘The Week of Pain’ remains under wraps. Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen run Square Peg, which is producing the film with Dilemma Films and LuckyChap, Robbie’s company. A24 will finance the project, so the studio is both the financier and the producer of the film.
The studio’s partnership with Borgli has produced two films in a row. ‘The Drama’ is an intimate original dramedy about a wedding week derailed by a childhood secret, and it was a box office hit. The film grossed US$ 134 million worldwide, according to most of the sources consulted, against a budget that one source put at US$ 28 million.

Robbie’s recent films and next project
Robbie most recently starred in ‘Wuthering Heights’ for Warner Bros., alongside Jacob Elordi. The film reached about US$ 240 million worldwide, according to the mezha website, while the source base cited US$ 241 million. The two figures differ between sources, so the exact total is not settled.
Her next production is a prequel to ‘Ocean’s’, alongside Bradley Cooper, who also directs. Deadline reports that the project is finishing production. Robbie revealed at CinemaCon 2026 that the film will follow an ‘epic heist’ at the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix.
The prequel is the next listed project for Robbie, and Cooper is attached both as co-star and director. According to the sources, the film is finishing production, and Robbie described the story at CinemaCon 2026 as an ‘epic heist’ set at the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix. Before that, she starred in ‘Wuthering Heights’ for Warner Bros. with Jacob Elordi, who played her love interest, Heathcliff. Different sources cite different worldwide totals for that film, which is why the box office figure is given as a range of two numbers in this report.
What is still unknown about the film
The plot of ‘The Week of Pain’ has not been disclosed. The sources did not confirm a start date for filming in 2027 or a release date for the film. The project’s story details remain under wraps.
