The fact that Harley Quinn is finally making her way to our big screens is epic in itself, but the fact that Margot Robbie is the lucky actress taking on the coveted part, is the cherry on top of an already delicious cake. During an interview with Cineplex, Robbie discussed her character – a frequent accomplice and lover of the Joker.
The character has all the qualities of becoming another scene-stealing role for Robbie, who held her own in The Wolf of Wall Street. “Harley is creepy, violent, crazy — all of the things that I aspire to be. She jokingly said of her character. “No. It’s the fun of living vicariously through someone who is doing things that I would never do in real life”.
Robbie also spoke about reuniting with Focus co-star Will Smith. “I enjoyed working with Will so, so much that I was overjoyed when I heard that we would be working together again,” she enthused. “I actually texted him when I heard he was in negotiations to be in Suicide Squad and kept peer-pressuring him, ‘You’d better be taking this movie!’ He obviously signed on for his own reasons, but I was so incredibly happy that we got to do Round Two. He’s awesome on set and awesome off set. He’s just a really, really good person”.
Suicide Squad is due for release on August 5, 2016. Until then, check out the Comic-Con trailer below:
