Margot Robbie hinted at what to expect from James Gunn’s take on Harley Quinn in The Suicide Squad.
With Margot Robbie’s most recent appearance as Harley Quinn in Birds of Prey now upon us, many are already looking forward to her return in James Gunn’s highly-anticipated The Suicide Squad. While the film will mark Margot Robbie’s third outing as Harley Quinn, James Gunn is expected to deliver his own take on the character and the entire Suicide Squad roster as a whole.
During an interview with Rotten Tomatoes, Margot Robbie commented on how she is interested in what James Gunn finds fascinating about Harley Quinn compared to Birds of Prey director Cathy Yan and Suicide Squad helmer David Ayer. However, Margot Robbie added that James Gunn’s vision for Harley Quinn is rooted in the comic book source material, which is important to her:
“I can tell you that it’s gonna be incredible, and, again, it’s just interesting to see what a different filmmaker makes of Gotham and these characters and Harley, really. I’m fascinated by what James finds fascinating about her compared to what Cathy finds interesting, compared to what David found interesting about her. He’s such a comic book lover, so you know it’s always going to be, again, rooted in the source material, which is always important to me.
