As a dedicated follower of the DC Universe, I have been fortunate to witness the remarkable transformation of Harley Quinn from comic pages to the big screen, and Margot Robbie has undeniably left an indelible mark on this iconic character. Her portrayal of Harley Quinn has not only captivated audiences but also paved the way for future actresses to explore the endless possibilities of this complex and compelling character.
It appears that Margot Robbie may not be returning to her iconic character, Harley Quinn, in the expanded DC Universe. She has brought this beloved supervillain to life in three films – Suicide Squad’s two sequels and Birds of Prey. However, it seems she is moving away from this role now.
The DCEU (DC Extended Universe) is currently planning a fresh start for its Batman series, introducing new faces for both protagonist and antagonist roles. While it may be challenging to find someone who can match the impact made by Margot Robbie in her portrayal of Harley Quinn – being the first to bring her character to life on the big screen – she remains optimistic that there are still plenty of suitable candidates available.
In a conversation with Variety, the actress who played Barbie was asked if she would be retiring from the role of Harley. She subtly suggested that it might be a yes. Now that Lady Gaga is portraying a more realistic supervillain in Joker: Folie à Deux, Margot Robbie feels it’s time to pass on the torch. She expressed, “Harley is such a blast and can go in so many varied ways. Once she’s handed over to someone else, it’s like, ‘What exciting new directions will they take her?’ The possibilities are endless.
In the newest musical, Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix portray their characters in a more grounded manner. In this storyline, instead of Quinzel being the Joker’s therapist, she is herself an Arkham Asylum patient. This alteration significantly shifts their dynamic from one built on psychological manipulation to one where both characters share a mutual desire – to experience and give love.
Robbie mused over the numerous talented male actors who have brought Batman, Superman, and other renowned DC characters to life, shaping generations of fan bases. In an interview with the media outlet, she expressed her wish for Harley Quinn to be a character that could be passed on to different actresses, much like how many iconic male roles are handed down over time. This was always her dream for the character.
Following Margot Robbie’s portrayal of Harley Quinn, there was some ambiguity about her potential return to the role. The DCEU was facing challenges after the less-than-stellar reception of movies like Wonder Woman 1984, Black Adam, and Shazam! Fury of the Gods. However, as of now, neither Robbie’s return nor retirement as Quinn has been officially announced. Yet, fans can anticipate a potentially improved Joker-Harley relationship in The Penguin series, featuring Sofia Falcone and her Arkham doctor, Julian Rush.
