Margot Robbie wants to get Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy's romance on the big screen.
Fresh from the news that Margot Robbie is ready to return to her signature role as Harley Quinn in the DC Extended Universe movies, the Australian actress has now spoken publicly for the first time, following the news that her director on The Suicide Squad — James Gunn — had been tapped to take over as co-chair and co-CEO of DC Studios, alongside Peter Safran.
Speaking to ComicBook while on the promotional trail for her new film Babylon, which is directed by Damien Chazelle, Robbie said: "I know it's crazy. And Peter Safran, so he was also the producer on The Suicide Squad, so I know them both really well and they're a dynamic duo. I think that's such a get for DC.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY "No, I've had enough of a break. I'm ready to do her again," Robbie recently explained. "I did Birds of Prey and The Suicide Squad back-to-back, so that was a lot of Harley all in a one-year period, but that was a while ago now.
And speaking with MTV News, Robbie was asked about the prospect of Lady Gaga taking over the role of Harley Quinn for the Joker sequel, Folie à Deux, to which she admitted her delight and curiosity about the direction Gaga would take the character — without infringing on her, as the film is set within a different universe.
"It makes me so happy because I said from the very beginning that all I want is for Harley Quinn to be one of those characters, the way Macbeth or Batman, always gets passed from great actor to great actor. It's kind of like someone gets to do their Batman, or someone gets to do their Macbeth. I feel like, in not so many cases, are they female characters — Queen Elizabeth I, but beyond that, which I got to have a crack out as well, which I was honored to do.
