Birds of Prey star Margot Robbie has commented on what would happen if her Harley Quinn met Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker.
Birds of Prey is set to hit cinemas next week, which means Harley Quinn star Margot Robbie has been making the rounds to promote the film. In a recent interview with Capital FM, Margot Robbie was asked if there was a possibility of her Harley Quinn crossing over with Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker.
The Birds of Prey star was quick to point out that her Harley Quinn and Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker exist in two separate realms, following up by stating that Harley Quinn would just annoy Joaquin Phoenix’s more moody, angry Joker.
“I think they exist in two very different worlds, Todd Phillips’ Gotham and this Gotham – very different. I don’t know how you’d bridge that gap.”
The interviewer replied by stating how Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker probably wouldn’t get along. The interviewer continued by joking how Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker would be too busy going inside fridges to hang out with Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn. Agreeing wholeheartedly, the Birds of Prey replied by saying how Harley Quinn would just knock on the fridge.
“She’d drive him insane. She’d be on the other side of the fridge, like ‘here’. ‘J-puddin, whatcha doin?’ ‘ I just need a minute, I’m going through a lot of sh-‘”
It’s hard to imagine Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker and Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn getting along due to their two very different personalities. Seeing as Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker is set to be a standalone film that focuses on its own mythology, it would be hard to buy Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn intruding in on it. Beyond that, Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker is set in realistic interpretation of Gotham that takes inspiration from the New York City of the 70’s and 80’s. On the other hand, the Gotham of Birds of Prey is essentially a fever dream presented through the eyes of Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn. Without a doubt though, Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker would make for a hilarious and off-putting crossover.

Here is the official synopsis for Birds of Prey:
“You ever hear the one about the cop, the songbird, the psycho and the mafia princess? Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is a twisted tale told by Harley herself, as only Harley can tell it. When Gotham’s most nefariously narcissistic villain, Roman Sionis, and his zealous right-hand, Zsasz, put a target on a young girl named Cass, the city is turned upside down looking for her. Harley, Huntress, Black Canary and Renee Montoya’s paths collide, and the unlikely foursome have no choice but to team up to take Roman down.”
Directed by Cathy Yan from a script penned by Bumblebee writer Christina Hodson, Birds of Prey stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Huntress, Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary, Ella Jay Basco as Cassandra Cain, Rosie Perez as Renee Montoya, Chris Messina as Victor Zsasz, Ewan McGregor as Black Mask, and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. Ali Wong, Robert Catrini, and Michael Masini have also been cast in undisclosed roles.
Margot Robbie’s Birds of Prey will be released in theaters on February 7, 2020.
Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker is now available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD.
