BUZZFEED – When it was announced that Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie would be playing royal rivals in Mary Queen of Scots, there was no doubt it would be worth a watch. Both were Oscar-nominated last year for their respective roles in Lady Bird and I, Tonya, and their resumés were already impressive: Saoirse started acting aged 9, going on to appear in movies like Atonement, Hanna, and The Lovely Bones; Margot is immediately recognisable for playing Harley Quinn, who’ll be getting her own Suicide Squad spinoff next year.
When we at BuzzFeed were given the chance to speak with Saoirse and Margot to promote Mary Queen of Scots in London recently, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity. They told us all about what it was like to finally work together and what kind of roles they’d love to take on next…
Check these beautiful portraits of Margot taken while doing the interview in our gallery! Enjoy 🙂
