Margot Robbie Will Star in Harley Quinn Spin-Off

Margot Robbie in “Suicide Squad”: Warner Bros.

Fans of DC comics and the character of Harley Quinn are anticipating whether or not actress Margot Robbie’s portrayal of the character in the upcoming film “Suicide Squad” will live up to their high expectations. Her personification of the much-loved psycho psychotherapist looks promising from the trailers, and Warner Bros. obviously thinks so too, as, according to The Hollywood Reporter, a Harley Quinn spin off is already in the works.

But what was originally thought to be a solo film about the DC villain will actually focus on several of the comic brand’s female heroes and villains.

As THR notes, “Details are being closely guarded but names such as Batgirl and Birds of Prey have surfaced, although in what capacity, it’s not clear. Warner Bros. isn’t commenting.”

It’s also been revealed that the screenwriter for the project is a woman and she is currently working on the script.

As THR continues, “Sources say that Robbie was the impetus for the project, adding that when she got the part for the movie, she dove deep into the comics to learn as much as possible about the character. In the process, she fell for DC’s female characters. She brought on the writer to help develop the project and brought it to Warners, which snapped it up.”

“Suicide Squad” hits theaters August 5 and Robbie will play Jane in this summer’s “The Legend of Tarzan.”
