Margot Robbie Wants To Be Rob Liefeld’s Avengelyne

[PopGeeks]

Imagine being Margot Robbie in this moment, fresh off of Barbie, having the rare kind of freedom to do whatever you want in Hollywood, no questions asked. Then imagine using that freedom to pursue adaptions of board games and forgotten 90s trash comics. I guess that’s where she’s at. Robbie has her own production company, LuckyChap, which was behind Barbie, She next wants to use LuckyChap to pursue a movie based on the Monopoly board game and, as of today, a movie based on the Rob Liefeld comic book Avengelyne with herself in the title role. 1990s comic books, especially those produced in the first half of the decade, are notorious for a signature look that put style over substance. That look was led by Liefeld, co-founder of Image Comics, who typically ignored basics of human anatomy in favor of dramatic poses, exaggerated musculature and warped body parts (Liefeld is well known for his avoidance of drawing feet if he can help it). This era also had a lot of

Avengelyne? Is this some kind of elaborate joke? After Barbie and Harley Quinn, it's like Robbie's actively searching for the most ridiculous character she can possibly play. Forget niche, this is like diving headfirst into the bargain bin of forgotten comic book characters. Bless her heart, the woman's got some serious guts. Maybe she's bored of being Hollywood's "golden girl" and needs to prove she can handle something so utterly, well, bizarre.


Honestly, the whole thing reads like a desperate attempt to be edgy. Sure, the character's got some hilariously over-the-top elements, but let's be real, it's the 90s equivalent of a bad B-movie. Imagine a scantily clad angel warrior battling demons in the big city? It's like a cheesy Saturday morning cartoon aimed at teenage boys. I mean, credit where it's due for not taking the safe route, but this reeks of a desperate attempt to be "different" that's bound to backfire spectacularly.

They will probably tone down the outfit in live action. The Warrior nun looks like a Skank in the comics but she was more TV friendly in the Netflix adaptation.

Margot Robbie going from Barbie to Avengelyne? Talk about a career nosedive. This screams "actress with dwindling options clinging to anything that gets greenlit." Avengelyne is peak 90s cheese, all cheesecake and nonsensical plot. Maybe it'll be a fun, campy romp, but I wouldn't hold my breath. This sounds like a project destined to gather dust in development hell.

This is a genius move by Robbie. She's got the star power and the production company to get pretty much anything made. Avengelyne might be a bit ridiculous, but with the right script and director, it could be a fun, crowd-pleasing popcorn flick. And hey, if it bombs, it won't exactly tarnish her reputation. It's a low-risk, potentially high-reward situation.

Okay, hear me out: Avengelyne as a big-budget action flick? Imagine the fight scenes! A fallen angel with superpowers battling demons in slow-mo? That has blockbuster written all over it. Plus, if they lean into the over-the-top aspects, it could be a visual feast. Giant explosions, ridiculous costumes, and maybe even some cheesy one-liners – pure, unadulterated entertainment. I'm kind of sold. She wont be young forever so she should accept these roles while they are available.
