Speculation about the American Psycho film has been plentiful since it was initially revealed that Lionsgate and Luca would be working together to make it. Jacob Elordi and Austin Butler were also previously rumored to be cast.

Funnily enough, this isn’t the first time Margot has been linked to the character of Patrick Bateman. She did an American Psycho-inspired beauty routine video for Vogue in 2016 that went viral.
For immediately, the Oscar-nominated actress is prepping for the release of her next big film, Wuthering Heights. See photos of her hanging out with co-star Jacob Elordi recently!
