Margot Robbie Reportedly Set for A24’s The Week of Pain

Margot Robbie is reportedly attached to star in “The Week of Pain,” a new film from writer-director Kristoffer Borgli. Deadline broke the casting news on November 13, and TheWrap and Variety subsequently reported the project. A24 is set to finance the film, with Square Peg among the producers, according to those outlets.

The most important detail for moviegoers is also the biggest unknown: the plot has not been disclosed. No release date has been announced in the reporting reviewed. That makes this a casting and development story, not a film opening or an on-set report.

The project pairs a widely recognized screen star with a filmmaker whose recent work has drawn attention for uncomfortable, darkly comic stories. Borgli’s credits include “Dream Scenario” and “The Drama.” TheWrap reported that he will direct the new film from his own script. The collaboration gives audiences a concrete reason to watch the film’s next steps, while leaving its eventual tone, characters and schedule open.

Robbie’s recent career has moved between acting and producing, and the reported involvement of her LuckyChap company adds another creative link to the project. Still, the outlets’ accounts are the basis for these details; there is not yet a public A24 release specifying the full cast or production calendar. Beaux Media will update this page if the studio or filmmakers confirm further information.

The photograph accompanying this report is a dated file image of Robbie at the 2026 Met Gala. It is not a still from “The Week of Pain,” which has not been released.
