Margot Robbie, who is still basking in the glory of the blockbuster movie ‘Barbie’, is all set to star alongside wrestling star turned Hollywood hunk Dwayne Johnson. The duo is reportedly teaming up for an ambitious science fiction adventure movie titled ‘Starlight’. And guess what, veteran filmmaker Ridley Scott is in talks to direct the movie.
In the movie ‘Starlight’, Dwayne Johnson will essay the role of Captain Alex Vega – the leader of an interstellar crew who undertakes a daredevil mission to explore the far-off regions of the cosmos. And along the way, he and his crew must deal with various kinds of dangers and adventures. On the other hand, Margot Robbie will be seen in the role of the main villain Isabella. The film will be the first on-screen collaboration between the two stars Dwayne Johnson and Margot Robbie.
Without undermining the star power of Dwayne Johnson and Margot Robbie, the enticing thing about the planned ‘Starlight’ film would be the involvement of a filmmaker of Ridley Scott’s caliber to the project. The 85-year-old BAFTA winner is known for his penchant and expertise in films of the sci-fi genre. His illustrious directorial filmography consists of some fine sci-fi films such as ‘Alien’, ‘Blade Runner’, ‘The Martian’, and ‘Prometheus’ amongst others. So now, it would be quite interesting to see whether Ridley Scott gives his nod to Dawyne Johnson and Margot Robbie’s ‘Starlight’.
Dwayne Johnson, whose last major feature film project was the box-office bomb ‘Black Adam’, will next be seen in a Christmas action movie titled ‘Red One’ co-starring Chris Evans. Stay tuned to Binged for the latest updates on Dawyne Johnson and Margot Robbie’s sci-fi movie ‘Starlight’.
