Harley Quinn, portrayed by Margot Robbie, finds herself in quite the predicament, reminiscent of Schrödinger’s Cat. Robbie’s performance in DC’s Suicide Squad movie in 2016 was truly remarkable. Her portrayal of the character was so impressive that the studio decided to bring her back for James Gunn’s sequel/reboot The Suicide Squad (2021). Additionally, she also starred in Birds of Prey (2021), a spinoff film that focused on Harley.
Warner Bros. has made the decision to bring an end to the DCEU era, and is now planning to relaunch the franchise under the banner of DC Studios. This means a complete reboot of the DC Universe films and TV series. It appears that the DCEU is moving on from many of its previous elements, but there are promising signs that Gunn’s Suicide Squad film and its Peacemaker TV series spinoff will be integrated into the new DCU. There has been much speculation surrounding Margot Robbie’s portrayal of Harley Quinn and whether she will be included in the DCU. This has put the Barbie actress in a delicate position, as she has been giving unclear responses for quite some time now.
Meanwhile, a fresh iteration of Harley Quinn, portrayed by the talented Lady Gaga, is preparing to make her highly anticipated debut on the silver screen in the upcoming sequel Joker: Folie A Deux.
During a recent interview with Variety, Margot Robbie delved into the future of Harley Quinn on the big screen, revealing that a different actress will be stepping into the iconic role. Robbie showed great excitement for Lady Gaga potentially playing Harley Quinn in Joker 2. According to Robbie, she has always imagined the character as one that could be portrayed by different actresses, just like many iconic male characters. She emphasised her desire for Harley Quinn to be a character that other actors could delve into, and she expressed enthusiasm for Gaga’s potential to bring something extraordinary to the role. She considered it a privilege to have set the stage for this opportunity.
Will Margot Robbie Play Harley Quinn in the DCU?
When it comes to Margot Robbie returning as Harley in the new DC Universe, she seems to be keeping her options open. She’s not ruling out any possibilities for Harley’s future, suggesting that anything could happen.
“Harley possesses a remarkable range of abilities and can be taken in countless exciting directions. It’s fascinating to witness the creative potential that others may unlock when they are given the responsibility of her.”
Make sure to mark your calendar for the highly anticipated theatrical release of Joker: Folie A Deux on October 4.
