The Suicide Squad star has been filming Olympics sabotage movie I, Tonya about one of the most infamous scandals in sports history, and looks totally unrecognisable as ice skater Tonya Harding.

And if you want to know how accurate Margot's look is in the movie, here's how Tonya looked:

Margot will be joined on the edgy comedy, directed by Craig Gillespie, by The Winter Soldier himself Sebastian Stan, as Tonya's ex-husband Jeff Gillooly.

The remarkable true story saw Tonya and her husband plot to attack her rival Nancy Kerrigan right before the 1994 US Championships, hiring a thug to break Nancy's leg so she couldn't compete in the upcoming Winter Olympics.

Fortunately, the attack wasn't completely successful, leading to both of them competing in the games, with Nancy winning silver.

Unsurprisingly, Tonya was eventually banned for life from the sport, while her husband was given a two-year prison sentence.

I, Tonya is being produced by Margot's LuckyChap Entertainment banner.

The ice skater isn't the only real-life person Margot will be portraying this year. She'll also be starring in the as-yet-untitled biopic about Winnie the Pooh author AA Milne.

She'll be playing the author's wife Daphne Milne, alongside Star Wars' Domhnall Gleeson as the writer.

It centres on the relationship between him and his son, whose stuffed toys inspired the author to create the world of Pooh in 1926.
