Even if Lady Gaga will be the next Harley Quinn in the cinema, Margot Robbie does not give up her role. She has an idea that she wants to defend and which concerns her character’s romantic relationship.
In promotion for her next film Babylon by Damien Chazelle (La La Land, Whiplash), Margot Robbie expressed her desire to find Harley Quinn but in a different way.
Harley Quinn as a couple at the cinema with a cult DC heroine?
Best known for being the Joker’s psychiatrist and girlfriend, Harley Quinn has already been unfaithful to Mr. J or his “chick” as she likes to call him. She has indeed fallen in love with an essential antagonist of the Batman universe: Poison Ivy, a romantic relationship that will be a major subject of season 3 of the DC animated series.
It is this connection that Margot Robbie would like to see in the cinema. On the other hand, she has no idea in mind for the actress who would play Poison Ivy. Uma Thurman? No, we’re kidding, but imagine anyway.
I’ve been pushing for this for years. I can’t tell you how much I campaigned for that. That’s what I want.
Honestly when I think about it, I always imagine Poison Ivy in the comics. I don’t really imagine any particular actress in this role, but it would be really nice.
In 2021, Margot Robbie announced that she was ready to take over the role, after having chained Birds of Prey and The Suicide Squad, although she was very happy to see Lady Gaga succeed her in Joker 2. For her, the arrival of James Gunn and Peter Safran within the DCU is also a blessing:
It’s crazy. Peter Safran was already the producer of The Suicide Squad so I know them both very well. They are a dynamic duo and I think it’s a great opportunity for DC.
