A new report today suggests that The Wolf of Wall Street actress Margot Robbie is set to star in Suicide Squad as the villain Harley Quinn.
Just after the report that Jared Leto was eyeing the role of The Joker in Warner Bros.’ Suicide Squad, Collider reports that Margot Robbie will be playing Harley Quinn in the supervillain film.
Suicide Squad is being directed by David Ayer, who helmed the recent WWII film with Brad Pitt titled Fury. There have also been other rumors concerning Suicide Squad which include Jesse Eisenberg playing Lex Luthor in the film, along with Will Smith, and Tom Hardy.
Margot Robbie was already rumored to be in Suicide Squad, but her role had yet to be speculated upon. Now it seems she could end up being The Joker’s sidekick. This is certainly an interesting move, as Robbie was great in The Wolf of Wall Street alongside Jonah Hill and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Since Robbie was already rumored to be involved in the film, and now sources are revealing her role, we expect to hear more about the validity of the reports over the next few weeks.
The character of Harley Quinn will be difficult to bring to the big screen, but we imagine a rewrite is in order, and it could end up being a very interesting character. We look forward to hearing about the official cast once this film gets closer to production.
