Margot Robbie To NOT Return As Harley Quinn? Superman Director James Gunn's BIG Reveal
James Gunn is keeping fans guessing when it comes to Margot Robbie's return as Harley Quinn. The Barbie star has become synonymous with the chaotic charm of Harley Quinn, having portrayed the anti-heroine in three major DC films: 2016's Suicide Squad, 2020's Birds of Prey, and 2021's The Suicide Squad. But as the DC Universe undergoes a major overhaul under Gunn's leadership, Robbie's future in the franchise remains uncertain.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Gunn – who now serves as CEO and Co-Chairman of DC Studios – was asked directly whether Robbie would reprise her role. He teased: 'That will be revealed down the line."
While Gunn remained tight-lipped about Harley, he did hint at plans for another Suicide Squad alum: Idris Elba's Bloodsport, adding: 'I definitely am always looking for a place to put Bloodsport and figuring that out. So we'll see what happens."
Robbie, meanwhile, has kept busy outside the superhero realm, earning critical acclaim and box office success with Barbie, which became a cultural phenomenon in 2023.
Robbie is now in talks to star in Tim Burton's Attack Of The Fifty Foot Woman remake. The 35-year-old actress is being considered for the lead role in the 66-year-old filmmaker's upcoming movie for Warner Bros and she would also produce the film through her LuckyChap production company, according to The Insneider.
The original 1958 classic is a science-fiction horror story which follows a wealthy heiress who grows into a giant after an alien encounter and goes on to take revenge on her cheating husband. It was revealed last year that Burton would direct and produce the remake, with Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn writing the script. Andrew Mittman and Tommy Harper are also producing with Kai Dolbashian as executive producer.
However, Variety reports that Flynn exited the project due to other commitments after writing a first draft of the screenplay and the producing team is currently searching for a new writer. Robbie's involvement would depend on the final version of the script.
Robbie is also set to produce the Ocean's prequel through her LuckyChap Entertainment banner and will also star in the movie alongside her Barbie castmate Ryan Gosling.

Ex-Teammate Narrates Dhoni's Hillarious Jibe: 'So Many Girlfriends In Those Days...'
Last Updated: S Sreesanth shared a humorous story about MS Dhoni, recalling Dhoni joking about girlfriends at each venue and praising Dhoni's belief in his potential. Former India pacer S Sreesanth recently recounted a lighthearted story about the legendary wicketkeeper-batter Mahendra Singh Dhoni from their playing days, showcasing the camaraderie and humour within the Indian cricket team. Sreesanth recalled an incident where Dhoni humorously shouted at him during a match. According to Sreesanth, Dhoni often joked that he would seek a girlfriend at each venue they played. 'There were so many girlfriends in those days that he thought I would catch a girlfriend from every ground," Sreesanth was quoted as saying on Padamjeet Sehrawat's YouTube channel. Beyond the jokes, Sreesanth also reflected on Dhoni's belief in his abilities. He remembered Dhoni once telling him that he had the potential to achieve great success in his career, but admitted he didn't fully realise his own capabilities back then. 'The one captain, the one friend who made me understand that my potential could have taken me high, but you could not understand your own potential," Sreesanth said, acknowledging Dhoni's mentorship. Sreesanth, a key part of India's T20 World Cup 2007 and ODI World Cup 2011 wins under Dhoni, also revisited one of his most iconic on-field moments — his fiery celebration after dismissing Matthew Hayden in the T20 World Cup 2007 semi-final against Australia. With Australia chasing 189, Sreesanth clean bowled the dangerous opener, sending his stump cartwheeling. He then slapped the pitch three times, mimicking a wrestling referee counting down a pinfall. 'Many people do not know why I did that celebration. Matthew Hayden was a big guy, and I had clean bowled him. That is why that celebration was straight out of wrestling, where the referee hits the floor thrice before declaring you out," Sreesanth explained on JioHotstar's 'Cheeky Singles'. How Only Dhoni Could Control Sreesanth? Former India teammate Robin Uthappa also recalled how Dhoni was one of the few who could truly manage Sreesanth's fiery personality. In a match against Australia in Hyderabad, Sreesanth theatrically appealed for a run-out at the non-striker's end. Dhoni immediately rushed down the pitch, pulled him away, and said, 'It was just after the World Cup, and we were playing Australia in Hyderabad. And I think it was either Andrew Symonds who had backed up. And then Sree (Sreesanth) stopped, took the stumps off and goes 'How is that? How is that?' So MS came running from there, pulled him and said 'just go bowl bro'," Uthappa was quoted as saying on the YouTube show 'Wake Up With Sorabh'. 'Someone who actually handled him really well was MS," Uthappa added. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
