Margot Robbie Open to Passing the Torch for Harley Quinn in the DCEU
Margot Robbie, known for her portrayal of Harley Quinn in the DCEU, expressed her willingness to pass on the iconic role to another actor, signaling her desire to explore new horizons and allow fresh interpretations of the character
Margot Robbie, the actor who portrayed Harley Quinn, has expressed her readiness to let go of the character and wishes for someone else to take on the role. The Australian actor is currently one of the most prominent stars in the industry, with her acclaimed performance in I, Tonya and her recent box office hit, Barbie.
Despite the original Suicide Squad movie receiving mixed reviews, many still anticipate Margot Robbie's return to her role as Harley Quinn. Robbie's portrayal of Quinn has been a standout, leading to her reprisal of the character in subsequent films, including as the main character in Birds of Prey.
"Despite her successful year in 2023 with Barbie, Margot Robbie is seemingly ready to put the role to bed. In a new interview with Variety, she revealed that she is ready to "move on" from the character.

Robbie expressed her desire for Harley to be a character that could be passed on to other actresses, similar to iconic male characters. "Harley's so fun and can go in so many different directions. You put her in someone else's hands, and it's like, 'What are they going to do with her?' The options are endless," she stated.
When it comes to DC characters, Superman, Batman, and the Joker have all been portrayed by various actors over the past few decades. As a result, there is a possibility that Harley Quinn will return in the future with a new actress taking on the role.

As a Gen Z netizen, I have mixed feelings about Margot Robbie's decision to potentially pass on the role of Harley Quinn in the DCEU. On the one hand, I understand her desire to explore new horizons and allow other actors to bring their own interpretations to the character. Harley Quinn is a complex and multifaceted character, and it would be exciting to see how different actors would portray her.
On the other hand, I have grown attached to Margot Robbie's portrayal of Harley Quinn. She has brought so much depth and nuance to the role, and I think she has made the character her own. I would be sad to see her go, but I also respect her decision and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
