Margot Robbie’s future as Harley Quinn in the new DC Universe is still mostly a mystery, but one key piece of information has already been revealed. Robbie played Harley across three movies set in the old DCEU, with the actress’ most recent turn as the anti-hero coming in director James Gunn’s first DC film: 2021’s The Suicide Squad. That collaboration is significant, as Gunn has now become one of DC Studios co-CEOs alongside Peter Safran, with the duo currently planning the next ten years of DC releases in a new shared universe that replaces the DCEU — the new DC Universe.
Throughout her time in the DCEU, Robbie delivered a charismatic turn as Harley that kept DC fans engaged despite the character’s many changes. From the Joker’s girlfriend to a member of the Suicide Squad to breaking up with the Batman villain and assembling the Birds of Prey to once again joining the Suicide Squad and going rogue, Harley’s journey over the timeline of the DCEU had the character constantly evolving. At the moment, Harley is not one of the confirmed canon characters of the new DC Universe, which leaves Robbie’s DC future hanging in the balance; however, a past comment offers an optimistic path for Harley’s DCU future.
