Margot Robbie may be joining Domhnall Gleeson for a biopic about the life of Winnie the Pooh’s author, A.A. Milne.

Variety reports that Robbie, who stars in Warner Bros.’ Suicide Squad, is currently in “early negotiations” to take on the role.

The film is titled Goodbye Christopher Robin and “tells the story of A.A. Milne and his relationship with his son, who served as an inspiration for the beloved character Christopher Robin.”

Simon Curtis is at the helm with Damian Jones and Steve Christian producing. Robbie will play Milne’s wife if she signs up.

And you can see Robbie next in the upcoming supervillain film, Suicide Squad, which hits screens on August 5.
