In a surprising turn of events, acclaimed actress Margot Robbie will star in the lead role of Catherine Earnshaw in the upcoming film adaptation of 'Wuthering Heights,' directed by Emerald Fennell. Robbie, who initially came on board as a producer, disclosed the news during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show.
Robbie, 35, revealed she wasn't initially set to play Catherine, stating, 'I wasn't always going to be in it.
