Many fans would agree that Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbie, was the best thing about "Suicide Squad" despite its imperfections. It was recently confirmed that Harley Quinn will have her own solo movie soon under Warner Bros. The actress will reprise her role as Joker's sidekick and also serve as executive producer.
Forbes revealed that although the plot of the upcoming Harley Quinn movie has yet to be announced, it is possible that the story will not focus on her romantic relationship with the Joker, which last played by Jared Leto in "Suicide Squad." The new Harley Quinn film might introduce new DC characters, like Batgirl and Poison Ivy, among others. There is a potential that an all-female villain group may be formed, considering how Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy bonded in the comics for a long time.
As DC continues to introduce more female protagonists, Harley Quinn may even develop a romantic relationship with Poison Ivy in the spin-off film. The contrast between the fun and energetic Harley Quinn and the quiet but cunning Poison Ivy will provide another interesting aspect to the story. The audience will definitely look forward to it, and finally set Quinn's identity apart from the Joker. In the comics, Poison Ivy actually despises the Joker and tries to convince Harley Quinn to get away from him.
Robbie's company LuckyChap Entertainment partnered with Warner Bros. to create the solo Harley Quinn film. The actress has worked with Warner Bros. in the past few years, starring in films like "The Legend of Tarzan" and "Focus." Warner Bros. has actively been pushing more female-driven stories and the creation of a Harley Quinn movie is another way to emphasize its focus. Robbie recently finished the movie "Terminal," where she serves as producer and she is also set to star in "Queen of the Air" with Warner Bros.
Morning News USA stated that the movie may be an origin story that presents how Dr. Harleen Quinzel transformed into the insane damsel who is madly in love and dedicated to the Joker. The official launch date and title of the solo Harley Quinn film have yet to be announced. Stay tuned to GamenGuide for more updates on the Solo Harley Quinn movie.
