Margot Robbie is currently in the headlines for her upcoming film,Barbie. The actress recently became the subject of a rumor when it was declared by an industry insider that she had rejected an offer from MCU.
It has been a while since it was reported that Marvel is looking for the perfect cast for the reboot of The Fantastic Four. However, any conclusion about the casting members seems to be a far cry for the makers.
Among the many fluctuating names of actors who would be cast as theFantastic Four, Robbie’s name was one among many, but now the actress has reportedly turned down the chance to be in a Marvel movie. Before this, Robbie appeared in the DC filmSuicide Squad, but recently, DC co-CEO, James Gunn shared that the sequel to the film isn’t planned yet. So turning down an offer from MCU is perhaps not a very wise choice.

After the failure of both parts at the box office, James Gunn said that there are no plans yet to bring the third installment of the film, so apparently there is a long wait for Robbie to return to the franchise.
