James Gunn Teases Margot Robbie COULD Return as Harley Quinn in the DCU

In a recent exchange with a fan on the social media platform Threads, DC Studios co-head James Gunn teased that the door is still open for Margot Robbie to return as Harley Quinn in the new DC Universe (DCU).

Here are the key points:

• Gunn's Comments: When asked if he would work with Margot Robbie again, Gunn stated, "I’d love to work with her again as Harley or as someone else." He also crucially added, "There are no plans at this time for anyone else to play Harley."
• Not a Confirmation: While Gunn expressed his desire to collaborate with Robbie, he clarified that he hasn't spoken to her about the role recently, so this is not an official confirmation of her return.
• The "Elseworlds" Distinction: Gunn acknowledged Lady Gaga's upcoming portrayal of Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie à Deux, but explained that this film is an "Elseworlds" project, meaning it exists in a separate continuity from the main DCU. This allows for both versions of the character to exist simultaneously.
• Robbie's Perspective: The article notes that Margot Robbie has previously stated she is happy for other actors to take on the role, comparing it to iconic characters like Batman that have been played by many different people.

In short, while nothing is official, James Gunn has made it clear that he is open to Margot Robbie reprising her role as Harley Quinn and has no current plans to recast the character for his main DCU.
