Margot Robbie is in negotiations to play Queen Elizabeth I in a new Mary Queen of Scots film, according to a Variety exclusive. And no doubt she would make a great queen. Per reports, the Australian beauty may act opposite Saoirse Ronan, who's said to be playing Mary Stuart. For those unfamiliar with British history, the film follows Mary Stuart's (Queen Elizabeth I's cousin) attempt to overthrow Elizabeth and her subsequent years of imprisonment and finally, execution. The film is slated to be directed by Josie Rourke. Although the project is not currently greenlit, the addition of gorgeous and crowd-gathering Robbie increases its chances.
