Margot Robbie, the talented actress who conquered the public with her interpretation of the iconic Harley Quinn in the films of The Suicide Squad, Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn, is ready to give an unexpected twist to the character’s legacy.
In a recent interview with Forbes , Robbie expressed her desire to pass the Harley Quinn baton to other actresses, breaking with the tradition of a single performer for a character and opening the door to creative diversity.
Robbie magnificently personified Harley Quinn in the films The Suicide Squad directed by David Ayer and Birds of Prey directed by Cathy Yan.
Her interpretation managed to convey the essence of Harley and also completely redefined her character, making her a key figure in the DC Extended Universe.
With James Gunn and Peter Safran transitioning into the future of DC movies, uncertainty arises over the fate of Harley Quinn in this new cinematic universe.
However, for Margot Robbie, the answer is clear: she is willing to give up her role so that other actresses can bring her unique vision to her character.
Speaking to Forbes, Robbie said:
“I always wanted Harley to be a character that I could hand off to other actresses to play, like there are so many iconic male characters.”
This prospect raises the possibility of Harley Quinn becoming a shared role, like many big-name male characters that have been played by different artists over the years.
Robbie’s vision for Harley Quinn seeks to explore the endless creative possibilities the character offers.
Harley is a blank canvas full of complexity and fun, and Robbie sees exciting opportunities in allowing diverse actresses to bring this ever-evolving anti-heroine to life.
This openness to diversity of approaches highlights the richness of the character and his ability to adapt to different narratives and styles.
Throughout the three films in which she played Harley Quinn, Robbie showed the character’s versatility by allowing her to evolve and grow in complexity.
From Suicide Squad to Birds of Prey and The Suicide Squad, Harley’s personality underwent notable changes, demonstrating the richness of the character and his ability to adapt to different contexts and plots.
At a time when legacy female characters in film and television are in short supply, Robbie’s vision for Harley Quinn represents a bold step toward diversifying gender roles.
She emphasized that Harley is a character that can take different directions, offering actresses the freedom to explore different facets of her personality and take her to new horizons.
Although no concrete details are yet known about Harley Quinn’s future in the DC Extended Universe or in Matt Reeves ‘ Batman – 85% series , Robbie’s perspective opens up an exciting range of possibilities.
With the upcoming release of Joker: Folie à Deux , where Lady Gaga will play a new version of Harley Quinn, the focus is on how different actresses will interpret and shape the legacy of this beloved character.
Without a doubt, Margot Robbie has not only left her indelible mark on the interpretation of Harley Quinn, but she also advocates for the possibility of other actresses taking on the challenge of giving life to this fascinating anti-heroine.
Her vision transcends the limitations of a single performance and promotes creative diversity in the representation of iconic female characters on the big screen.
Harley Quinn is ready for a new chapter, with a narrative that will be built through the different voices and talents that will contribute to her legacy in the world of film and television.
