James Gunn revealed that Harley Quinn will "almost certainly" return to the DC Universe, but Margot Robbie may not be back.

    I’ve always felt that if an actor feels they’re done with a role we should just let them be done with it. If they want to move on, it means they have a chance to grow and do even greater work.

      You say that as if people are being forced at gunpoint to play characters they don’t want to play.

        Wait… Paying them millions of dollars for less than a few months of work isn’t gun point?

          I have to be honest, I’ve never been in that situation so I really can’t relate. Maybe it’s really traumatic.

          It’s not as if they wouldn’t get other million dollar jobs… they’re not really hurting for money. It’s usually more about restrictive contracts demanding a certain number of movies and such corpo bullshit.

      Stretching franchises out for profit beyond what the creative team wants never works well.

      We should just offer them money until they change their minds.

          Hey, we’ve been past that line from the jump: “Margot Robbie” “may” “bend over backwards” 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Eh, I think if she’s done then she’s done. Definitely the best Harley in my eyes, but The Suicide Squad isn’t really canon to the new DCU, so a recast isn’t an immersion-breaking thing here.

      It’s not? But it’s canon to Peacemaker which seems to be canon aside from a minor retcon to the end of Season 1 in the pre-Season 2 recap where |||they swapped out the Justice League for the Justice Gang||.

        You are correct. It is canon.

    I don’t think I’m a fan of the character, so maybe this will cause them to shelve her for a while.

    Why are there quotation marks for no reason or whatever you call them

      They’re direct quotes from James Gunn.
