Margot Robbie actually only makes a brief – but memorable – surprise appearance in the film. Which probably explains why she is not in Cannes, before the film’s theatrical release on June 21. “She only came for one day, the last day of filming and everyone was amazed by her magnetism, says Wes Anderson.
