Margot Robbie, the star and producer of new DC movie Birds of Prey<\/em> says the new Harley Quinn standalone movie is setting an example for how to approach equality in filmmaking.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Yahoo, Robbie said that the lack of diversity behind the camera in the film industry is \u201cembarrassing\u201d and that Hollywood needs to take Birds of Prey\u2019s<\/em> lead in making a concerted effort to put women in those roles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst and foremost, the best person gets the job, Cathy [Yan] was the best person for the job,\u201d said Robbie on the film\u2019s director, \u201cbut I think it\u2019s important to make more of an effort to seek out the females for those roles, because the statistics are embarrassing and disgraceful, and not where they should be. And if we don\u2019t actually take action, it\u2019s never going to change.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

On whether she is noticing the needle move on the gender imbalance behind the camera in Hollywood, Robbie said, \u201cNow people are starting to kind of be held accountable because other people are actually doing it. Like Warner Bros, for example, actually making this film, kind of holds other studios accountable.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s really going to enact change, is holding people accountable,\u201d Robbie added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
