James Gunn Wants Margot Robbie to Return as Harley Quinn or Another DC Character

James Gunn, a co-head of DC Studios, has expressed interest in collaborating with Margot Robbie again, following her announcement that she may not reprise her role as Harley Quinn. Gunn stated that he would "love" to work with Robbie, whether that is for Harley Quinn or another DC character. "I haven't discussed Harley with Margot for a while. But I would be thrilled to collaborate with her again as Harley or in a different role. Currently, there are no plans for anyone else to take on the role of Harley," Gunn wrote on Threads.

Robbie made waves with her recent statement that she sees Harley as a character that could be taken on by other actresses, similar to iconic male characters. She emphasized the versatility of Harley, stating that putting her in someone else's hands opens up endless possibilities for the character.

Robbie portrayed Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, and The Suicide Squad. Lady Gaga will be taking on the role for this year's Joker sequel, set to release in October. The film will reportedly showcase Lady Gaga's musical abilities, but it is not expected to be a full-fledged musical.

Gunn also provided updates on upcoming DC projects, stating that a trailer for Superman: Legacy will not be released anytime soon as filming will not begin until March. However, the script has been completed for some time, according to Gunn. He also mentioned that writing for Peacemaker Season 2 is "over halfway finished."

As a Gen Z netizen, I am thrilled to hear that James Gunn wants Margot Robbie to return as Harley Quinn or take on another DC character. Robbie's portrayal of Harley Quinn has been iconic and beloved by fans, and it would be a shame to see her leave the role. I agree with Robbie that Harley is a versatile character who could be interpreted in many different ways, and I'm excited to see what Gunn and Robbie could come up with if they were to collaborate again.

I'm also intrigued by the idea of Lady Gaga taking on the role of Harley Quinn in the upcoming Joker sequel. Gaga is a talented actress and singer, and I think she could bring a unique and fresh perspective to the character. I'm looking forward to seeing how she interprets Harley and how her musical abilities will be incorporated into the film. Overall, I'm excited about the future of the DC universe and can't wait to see what Gunn and his team have in store for us.
