Margot Robbie May Be Done as Harley Quinn, But James Gunn Wants Her in the DCU

Margot Robbie's future as Harley Quinn in James Gunn's new DC Universe is uncertain, as the actress herself has suggested she may be ready to move on from the role. Robbie portrayed the fan-favorite anti-hero in three films under the old DCEU banner, including 'Suicide Squad,' 'Birds of Prey,' and 'The Suicide Squad.' Gunn, who directed Robbie in 'The Suicide Squad' and now co-leads DC Studios, said on the official podcast that Harley Quinn will 'almost certainly' return in the DCU, but he stopped short of confirming Robbie's involvement. He did, however, express strong admiration for her, saying he would 'bend over backwards' to include her in future projects. The situation highlights the challenge of balancing legacy casting with a fresh cinematic universe. For now, fans are left wondering whether Robbie's iconic take on the character will carry over or if a new actress will pick up the mallet.
