Margot Robbie Defends Wuthering Heights Adaptation Changes
Margot Robbie is in a new movie called Wuthering Heights, which is based on a famous book.
Some people are upset because the actors don't look like the characters in the book.
Margot says that people should wait to see the movie before judging.
She thinks the actor playing Heathcliff is perfect and that the movie is more about love than anything else.
She also says the movie is made for women in their 30s to enjoy.
Margot Robbie defends the casting choices in Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights adaptation.
Criticism focuses on Jacob Elordi's casting as Heathcliff, originally described as 'dark-skinned'.
Robbie compares Elordi's performance to Daniel Day-Lewis and encourages viewers to wait and see the film.
Robbie's own casting as Cathy, who is depicted as a dark-haired teenager in the novel, has also faced scrutiny.
The film is designed with women in their 30s in mind and is described as a big epic romance.
