Margot Robbie Weighs In on Returning as Harley Quinn Under James Gunn’s DC Universe Reboot

Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn Future in James Gunn’s DCU Still Undecided

Margot Robbie’s tenure as Harley Quinn remains one of the most celebrated aspects of Warner Bros.’ DC films, but her return under James Gunn and Peter Safran’s revamped DC Universe has yet to be confirmed.

When asked recently about reprising the role, Robbie expressed her affection for the character but stopped short of revealing any concrete plans. She also noted that Harley, like other iconic comic figures, could evolve through different interpretations by various performers.

Gunn addressed the speculation in an interview, saying only that Robbie’s status will be disclosed “down the line.” The filmmaker has previously hinted that certain characters from the previous DC slate—such as Idris Elba’s Bloodsport—could reappear, suggesting the possibility is open for Robbie as well.

Robbie first portrayed Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad (2016) before headlining Birds of Prey (2020) and returning in The Suicide Squad (2021). While the actress remains busy with producing and acting commitments, fans continue to champion her as the definitive live-action Harley Quinn.

Margot Robbie Hints at Harley Quinn’s Future in James Gunn’s DCU

Margot Robbie isn’t hanging up Harley Quinn’s mallet just yet—but her future in James Gunn’s DC Universe is still up in the air.

In a recent interview, Robbie made it clear she still loves playing the chaotic antihero but admitted that Harley is a character who could live on through other actors, the same way Batman and Joker have been reimagined countless times.

James Gunn himself added fuel to the speculation, teasing fans with a cryptic promise: “That will be revealed down the line.” While he didn’t confirm anything, it’s enough to keep fans hopeful that Robbie could step back into Harley’s boots when the new DCU takes shape.

Robbie has already made Harley one of the most popular comic book characters on the big screen, with standout appearances in Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, and The Suicide Squad. Whether she returns or passes the torch, it’s clear her impact on the role is here to stay.
