Director David Ayer has revealed a photo of the first HQ makeup test for Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad.
Margot Robbie made her debut as Harley Quinn in 2016’s Suicide Squad, marking the first time the fan-favorite villain was included in a live-action feature film since being introduced in Batman: The Animated Series. While Suicide Squad received mixed reviews, Margot Robbie’s performance as Harley Quinn was widely praised as one of the better elements of the DC film.
Yesterday marked the three-year anniversary of Suicide Squad and it appears director David Ayer is celebrating by sharing new behind-the-scenes images from the film. In his most recent post, David Ayer revealed the first makeup test for Margot Robbie in full costume as Harley Quinn.

Margot Robbie will reprise her role as Harley Quinn in Warner Bros. and DC’s Birds of Prey. Directed by Cathy Yan from a script written by Christina Hodson, Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) will be released in theaters on February 7, 2020.
The first Suicide Squad followed a team of supervillains who were recruited by the government for a dangerous black ops mission in exchange for reduced sentences. The ensemble cast included Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Jared Leto as The Joker. James Gunn is expected to deliver on the fresh take on the supervillain team in his upcoming Suicide Squad movie, with Idris Elba playing a new character, Jai Courtney reprising his role as Captain Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman playing Rick Flag again, David Dastmalchian starring as Polka-Dot Man, and Viola Davis returning as Amanda Waller. John Cena is reportedly in talks for an undisclosed role.
The Suicide Squad is one of many projects currently being developed by Warner Bros. and DC. These projects include The Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern Corps, Birds of Prey, Black Adam, Nightwing, Supergirl and New Gods.
The Suicide Squad will be released in theaters on August 6, 2021.
