Despite playing supervillain Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, Margot Robbie may be taking on an even more dangerous role, as a lovelorn trapeze artist in an upcoming flick.
The Hollywood Reporter revealed that the Australian actress is set to star in a period love drama Queen of the Air, which is an adaptation of Dean N. Jensen’s book of the same name that told the story of 20th-century trapeze artist Lillian Leitzel. Leitzel was one of the biggest stars in the world when performing for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. She was also known for her tragic love affair with fellow trapeze artist Alfredo Codona.
Also really cool: THR notes that Leitzel had a signature move that "required her to dislocate her shoulder at every turn (she would do the move a hundred times) and had wrists that had been grooved from ropes." Um, we are so ready to see that on film.
