Margot Robbie left jaws on the floor after her breakout performance opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in "The Wolf of Wall Street."
Now the Aussie actress, 25, is taking a central role in the upcoming "Suicide Squad" movie as the comic-book character Harley Quinn.

Robbie also has two other films coming out this year: a live-action Tarzan remake, "The Legend of Tarzan," and the comedy "Whisky Tango Foxtrot."
