Every Margot Robbie Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

5. The Big Short (2015)

The Big Short brought together an impressive ensemble cast to tell the story of how a handful of people saw the housing crisis of 2008 coming. Naturally, with a story like this, there was a lot of jargon and concepts that the mainstream audience just wouldn’t understand.

Enter, Margot Robbie. 

Ryan Gosling’s Jared Vennett introduces her in a voiceover to explain the concept of sub-prime mortgages, and that she did, in a bubble bath with a glass of champagne. It was hilarious, and then she was gone, never to be seen in the film again.

The movie itself is outstanding, with a wonderful cast. However, no matter how good Gosling, Christian Bale, or Brad Pitt were, Margot Robbie's scene arguably stole the whole show. There was no real acting involved, she wasn’t playing a character, she merely showed up and explained what was likely confusing audiences watching. But she was compelling, and that truly shows that her talent knows no bounds.
