Margot Robbie has given up her role as Harley Quinn to Lady Gaga in Joker 2. But how about a return after the release of Todd Phillips’ feature film?
DC productions are widely criticized – as is Marvel, of course – and have often not been kind to the Suicide Squad. Everyone remembers the 2016 version directed by David Ayer, which was a failure. Fortunately, James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) managed to rectify the situation five years later. Despite a failed first film, one character always managed to rise above the fray and not disappoint: Harley Quinn. And that’s thanks to the talent of Margot Robbie, who exploded with The Wolf of Wall Street. His presence could be enough to keep you from leaving the Birds of Prey room despite all the problems. However, we won’t see them again in the short term.
Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, a possible return?
Harley Quinn will appear in Joker: Folie à deux, but Margot Robbie, no. The Australian actress will step down and let Lady Gaga play this iconic character. Really ? The young woman was questioned on the subject and it was clear that her return might never happen. “I always wanted Harley Quinn to be a character that could be played by other actresses, like so many other iconic male characters. It was always the dream for her. Harley is so much fun and can go in so many different directions. When you give it to another actress, you wonder what she’s going to do with it. The possibilities are limitless » (above diversity).
The return of Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn therefore seems a little in jeopardy, as the actress seems to have turned the tide. Very bad news for some Internet users who would already like to see her back in the role. But since nothing is set in stone, perhaps she will magically return in a different context. The Suicide Squad 2? While promoting Damien Chazelle’s (La La Land) film Babylon, she revealed that she wanted a live-action film about the romantic relationship between her character and Poison Ivy, without expressing any desire to join the cast. “I’ve been pushing for this for years. I can’t tell you how hard I fought for this. This is what I want. […] But when I think about it, I always imagine Poison Ivy in the comics. I can’t really imagine any particular actress in this role, but she would be really good.”
Lady Gaga will be “incredible” in Joker 2
Margot Robbie is therefore kept away from Harley Quinn for now, but as we can read there is no animosity and she is happy that other actresses can give their own version. A good player speech, which she had already expressed when asked for her opinion on the choice of Lady Gaga. In her opinion, the singer will be incredible and there is no doubt about it.
It makes me very happy[Anm. d. Red.: zu sehen, wie Lady Gaga die Rolle erneut spielt]because I always wanted Harley Quinn to be one of those characters, like MacBeth or Batman, who goes from one great actor to the next. And I feel like this only affects a few female characters. There was “Queen Elizabeth 1,” where I thought, “Wow, Cate Blanchett did it, now I can do it,” but beyond that. It’s a great honor to have built such a strong foundation that Harley can now be one of those characters that other actors can play. And I think she’s going to do something incredible.[ndlr:voirLadyGagareprendrelerôle)parcequej’aitoujoursvouluqu’HarleyQuinndevienneundecespersonnagescommeMacBethouBatmanquipassed’ungrandacteuràunautregrandacteurEtj’ail’impressionquecelaconcernepeudepersonnagesfémininsIlyaeulareineElizabeth1oùjemesuisdit«WowCateBlanchettl’afaitmaintenantjepeuxlefaire»maisau-delàdeçaC’estuntelhonneurd’avoirconstruitunebasesuffisammentsolidepourqueHarleypuissemaintenantêtreundecespersonnagesqued’autresacteurspeuventjouerEtjepensequ’ellevafairequelquechosed’incroyable[ndlr:voirLadyGagareprendrelerôle)parcequej’aitoujoursvouluqu’HarleyQuinndevienneundecespersonnagescommeMacBethouBatmanquipassed’ungrandacteuràunautregrandacteurEtj’ail’impressionquecelaconcernepeudepersonnagesfémininsIlyaeulareineElizabeth1oùjemesuisdit«WowCateBlanchettl’afaitmaintenantjepeuxlefaire »maisau-delàdeçaC’estuntelhonneurd’avoirconstruitunebasesuffisammentsolidepourqueHarleypuissemaintenantêtreundecespersonnagesqued’autresacteurspeuventjouerEt jepensequ’ellevafairequelquechosed’incroyable
