Warner Bros. Pictures’ film adaptation of *Wuthering Heights* features some of the most recognizable faces in the business, starting with Hollywood royalty Margot Robbie.

Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw
Margot plays the lead role of Catherine, also known as “Cathy.” Set in 19th-century Wuthering Heights, Catherine’s story begins when she meets Heathcliff, a foundling (an abandoned child) whom she gradually falls in love with. Despite her feelings for Heathcliff, she is expected to marry Edgar Linton, who stands as Heathcliff’s opposite.
