Margot Robbie wants to star alongside female actors of her age

Actor Margot Robbie has said she wants to work with her contemporaries in films.

The 27-year-old said she wants reality of her life to be "reflected" in the projects.

"I already work with a ton of female writers who are brilliant, and I want to work with female directors... I really want to work with actresses my own age," Robbie told Vogue Australia magazine.

"I'm trying so hard to get projects up and running with an ensemble of young female characters, because that's my life, my group of girls, we're a gang and we roll together and I'm like: 'Why is that not reflected in film?'" she said.
