Every Margot Robbie Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

22. The Legend Of Tarzan (2016)

There are plenty of movies that have attempted to retell classic stories with a twist, usually taking on something of a darker, grittier angle. See the likes of King Arthur: The Legend of the Sword (2017), or Hercules (2014). The Legend of Tarzan is one of them, and like most, it fails to recapture the magic of what came before or add something different enough to make it feel fresh or even particularly necessary.

Even in spite of a stellar cast - featuring Alexander Skarsgård, Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz, Djimon Honsou, and of course Margot Robbie - David Yates' 2016 outing is rather forgettable. Far from the deepest of characters Robbie has ever brought to the screen, it truly feels as though she could play Tarzan's Jane in her sleep.

Thankfully she has risen far above the role of the cliche love interest since 2016.
