Margot has been very busy despite the actress sensationally announcing in 2023 that she would be stepping back from acting for a stint.
As well as appearing in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, the actress has been filming Emerald Fennel's Wuthering Heights adaptation alongside fellow Aussie Jacob Elordi.
Margot is also producing the classic via her production company LuckyChap Entertainment, which she started with her husband Tom Ackerley.
The Suicide Squad alum previously said she was planning on hitting the breaks following the success of her lead role in Barbie.
Speaking to Deadline, she said she planned to work off-screen after years of building her acting portfolio.
She added that she wanted to take a break from starring in movies as she thinks everyone is 'sick' of seeing her after her role in the Greta Gerwig's blockbuster.
'I also think everyone's probably sick of the sight of me for now. I should probably disappear from screens for a while,' she said.
'Honestly, if I did another movie too soon, people would say, "Her again? We just did a whole summer with her. We're over it."'
Margot added: 'I don't know what I'll do next, but I hope it's a little while away.'
The thespian noted that she's also been busy working behind the screen producing.
Elsewhere in the interview, Margot laid bare her ambitions to direct a movie of her own, after years of producing critically acclaimed content.
'I really do want to direct,' she said. 'I've felt like I wanted to direct for about the last seven years. But I've always seen it as a privilege, not a right.'

MasterChef Australia contestant eliminated after 'daunting' challenge went wrong - as the cooking competition nears final weeks
MasterChef Australia is getting to the pointy end with just eight contestants left in the competition. On Sunday night, the latest chef from the Back To Win season to leave the kitchen was Audra Morrice. Audra, who first appeared on MasterChef Australia in 2012, saw her Spanish seafood paella deemed 'inconsistent' by the judges, and she was sent home. 'I actually feel really good. I came in to show the simplicity of cultural cuisine. And that food doesn't always have to be complicated' the chef said upon getting the bad news that she was out of the competition. 'This kitchen is addictive. I won't deny it was a bit daunting. It really put me out of my comfort zone, which I love' she added. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Speaking to website Draw Your Box, Audra said that she has relished reliving the challenge. 'I just kind of went into this and just cooked what came to mind and what I felt in the flow of the moment' she said. 'Sometimes it was an epic success, sometimes it was a disastrous fail, but all I wanted to do was cook wholeheartedly and put delicious food on the table.' Last week, an emotional Poh Ling Yeow struggled to hold back tears on as she bid farewell to contestant Andre Ursini. Andre appeared alongside Poh on the inaugural MasterChef season back in 2009. However, his second chance at success was foiled after he lost a Pressure Test that tasked Andre and fellow contestants Alanah Lowes and Snezana Calic with recreating an ornate dessert by renowned pastry chef Philip Khoury. When it came time for Andre to make his exit, judge Poh became emotional when reflecting on the journey that she and Andre had started together. 'Andre, we started this journey together – whoa – 16 years ago,' Poh said, with tears welling in her eyes. 'For the past 16 years, I've watched you not only become a really brilliant cook and an amazing entrepreneur, but an amazing husband and dad.' An emotional Poh added that having the chance to see Andre in the MasterChef kitchen again was a pleasure. 'It's been so nice and fun to be back in the kitchen with you,' she said. 'I love that you've always marched to the beat of your own drum.' Poh then lightened the mood, joking: 'And I hope that that never changes, even though sometimes I do – no I don't, I really don't.' Obviously touched by Poh's heartwarming tribute, Andre wasn't shy about returning the compliments. 'I was pretty inspired that first time I walked in – seeing my mate in the bright shining light where she belongs,' he said. Andre continued to heap praise on the MasterChef judge saying: 'Poh is a jewel in the crown of the Australian culinary scene.' 'She's one of the most genuine and unique individuals that we've all been around. 'She's basically going to start levitating any year now,' he joked. Speaking to camera after making his emotional exit, Andre was philosophical about his elimination, despite being 'devastated'. 'Being eliminated, I'm devastated, but I've come so far in the competition,' he said. 'It's taken me 16 years to re-emerge – I came in here with no expectations and got to top ten. 'I'm feeling pretty invigorated. I've rediscovered my passion for cooking after all these years and, from now on until the time I die, I'm going to keep cooking.'

Bianca Censori puts on eye-popping display in a see-through nightie and blonde wig
KANYE West's wife, Bianca Censori has put on an eye-popping display in a see-through nightie and blonde wig. Just a few days ago the stunning brunette ditched her bra and almost spilled out of her barely-there outfit in New York. 4 4 Now, Bianca, 30, has shared snaps of herself in a see through nightie while posing in a wavy blonde wig, Kayne, 48, snapped the trio of Polaroids of her lounging around in an empty carpeted room, in front of a draped large window with a city view. Bianca posted the shots to Instagram on Saturday - just days after it emerged Kayne's visa to her native Australia has been cancelled reports the Mail. "He's been coming to Australia for a long time. He's got family here and he's made a lot of offensive comments that my officials looked at again,' Burke told the ABC. "Once he released the Heil Hitler song, he no longer has a valid visa in Australia." Shortly after Kanye West's divorce from Kim Kardashian in 2022, the rapper began dating Australian architect, Bianca Censori. News about his relationship continued in early 2023 and it was later revealed that he had been allegedly married to Censori a month before their public debut. And Kayne has resorted to paying his wife to wear her head-turning outfits, a source close to the couple has told The U.S. Sun. But when she stepped out in New York City at the weekend in a scarcely believable candy bra and thong set paired with silver stilettos, Bianca took her wild wardrobe to the next level. An insider said that the controversial rapper's "obsession" with outfit ideas for his wife has forced him to fork out up to $400,000 to make it all happen. The sugary set ended up costing Kanye $100,000, per the source. The source claimed the idea was pitched earlier in the week and Bianca refused point-blank unless her husband paid up. Ye, added the insider, is dressing her up in the most extravagant outfits to not only keep his 'edgy persona' firmly in the public eye, but to make sure everyone thinks 'she's the sexiest woman alive.' Bianca Censori and Kanye West's relationship Bianca Censori was born on January 5, 1995, in Melbourne, Australia Before her current full-time job, the 30-year-old started a jewelry company called Nylons after leaving high school. After working as a student architect for three years, she completed a master's degree between 2019 and 2020 ahead of moving to Los Angeles. In a radio interview, a childhood friend of Bianca's claimed that Kanye slid into her DMs on Instagram. The rapper reportedly said, "Come and work for me." At which point she says the designer moved to LA to join his company Yeezy as the "head of architecture" - and has been since November 2020. WEDDING BELLS On Friday, October 6, 2023, The Daily Mail reported Kanye and Bianca wed on December 20, 2022. The couple tied the knot under a "confidential marriage license" in the state of California. The two wed in Palo Alto, California, according to the document. The wedding came just one month after Kanye and Kim Kardashian finalized their divorce. Recently, in Los Angeles, she strutted through the streets in a sheer nude bodysuit with no bra and furry white boots. The outfit left little to the imagination—and jaws on the floor. Kanye was reportedly upset initially but is now happy to oblige. He allegedly wanted to offer his wife of two years a yearly salary. But the Australian born beauty prefers to be paid on a 'per look or event' basis. 'She's essentially monetizing her image,' added the source who believes she has made almost $3 million since the arrangement started and was paid $120,000 to join her husband in a naked dress at the Grammys in February. And we also disclosed earlier this month that she officially launched her first U.S. company, Bianca Censori Inc. The paperwork was filed in California, but Bianca registered her full name as a business entity in her hometown of Alphington, one of Melbourne's wealthiest suburbs. 4

After the Sabsabi debacle, Creative Australia must learn to embrace controversy
After months of angst and uproar in the arts, the decision has finally been reconfirmed: Khaled Sabsabi and Michael Dagostino will represent Australia at the Venice Biennale in 2026. An independent report, which was initially only tasked with reviewing the selection process and not the board's decision to rescind the appointment, has identified the 'missteps' of that decision and the board has had the courage to respond accordingly. There will be some detractors but I have no doubt that when the work is unveiled next year, all the preconceived fears will be laid to rest. The question now is: how can Creative Australia rebuild confidence in its role in supporting the visual arts? The report raises some red flags with regard to the selection process for future Venice Biennales – for example, among all the well-intentioned recommendations about risk management, it says the future selection process will need take into account what 'could be so polarising and divisive as to have a material impact on the ability of Creative Australia to discharge effectively its statutory functions'. This phrase is troubling. As a museum director of many years experience, I am well aware of how hard it is to predict what will stir up controversy. And what is genuine community concern, as opposed to media beat-up? People may be surprised to learn that complaints about content in artworks are rare and usually driven by those who have not seen the work. Creative Australia will have to demonstrate that prejudging what might cause offence does not lead to the bland and the boring. The report also references the tensions between artistic freedom and Creative Australia's responsibility towards the wider community. I do not believe that there needs to be such a distinction. We should have a funding body that supports artists to make work that is critical and demanding as well as organisations that make the bridge between this work and a wider public, who do have an appetite for contemporary art. The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, where I was once director, became the most visited museum of contemporary art in the world, while putting artists and artistic excellence at its core. But there is more to be done in the immediate aftermath of this debacle. What we need is strong leadership from Creative Australia in relation to the visual arts. Why does this matter? It matters because in the age of artificial intelligence, creativity will be a driving force of the future. AI relies on human creativity and educational experts have identified creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and empathy as the skills and qualities that employers of the future will be seeking. These are the very skills that working with art and artists can contribute to society. Sign up for our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning We also need support for galleries as we face the challenges of a society dominated by social media. Over a decade ago I sat on a panel discussing the impact of new technology on the arts and a panellist announced that, in future, art would be online and galleries redundant. We would all sit at home viewing art through ever more sophisticated gadgets. It has not happened. Social media instead can drive audiences to galleries – there is a strong desire for a shared, real experience to combat the world of the virtual. Why do visitors still flock to see works of art such as the Mona Lisa? Online representations are not enough – audiences want the power of the real, often a shared experience. Galleries in Australia and around the world can attest to this interest, especially from young people. Galleries can and still should be safe places for the discussion of difficult issues through the work of artists. There is now an opportunity for Creative Australia to take the lead and review the ecology of the visual arts across the country and to overcome the perception that it is an agency for the performing arts. We have seen a renewed focus on literature and music, so why not visual arts? It has been more than 20 years since the Australia Council's Myer inquiry into contemporary visual arts and craft, which focused on the organisations it funded, not the whole sector; I have long thought that our regional galleries, for example, play a vital role in engaging audiences with new work. A new strategic framework for the visual arts, with a commitment to respecting peer review in selection processes, could transform Creative Australia's relationship with the sector and restore confidence. What Australia needs is a visionary federal agency that works closely with all levels of government and other funders, respected for its commitment to artists. Instead of shying away from controversy, a strong agency would embrace it and work to engage the public. Art does matter – if it didn't, why all the recent outrage? Elizabeth Ann Macgregor is a curator and art historian and was the director of MCA Australia until 2021.
