The DC Universe (DCU) has seen several iconic characters transition smoothly into James Gunn’s new era, including John Cena’s Peacemaker. However, the fate of one fan-favorite antihero, Harley Quinn, remains unclear. Fans eagerly await updates on Harley Quinn’s DCU Return and whether Margot Robbie will reprise the beloved role.
Margot Robbie Opens Up on Harley Quinn’s DCU Return
Margot Robbie first brought Harley Quinn to life in Suicide Squad (2016). She later starred in Birds of Prey (2020) and co-led The Suicide Squad (2021), written and directed by James Gunn. Despite her past involvement, Robbie revealed in Variety that she has “heard nothing” from DC about reprising the role in the DCU.
On her relationship with the character, Robbie shared,
“Never. You can’t get sick of Harley. I love her so deeply… I always had high hopes for her like Batman.”
She also expressed openness to another actor taking on Harley, noting,
“I feel like I need to share Harley.”
These comments highlight both her affection for the character and her willingness to see Harley evolve under new creative directions.
DCU Integration and the Path Forward for Harley Quinn
James Gunn has already integrated events from The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker into the broader DCU timeline. However, the Batman corner of the universe remains largely unexplored. Fans can expect fresh stories, including a Clayface spinoff entering production and The Brave and the Bold, a solo Batman movie in development.
The DCU’s Batman storyline is set to expand after Matt Reeves’ The Batman Part II, which exists in a separate universe known as The Batman Epic Crime Saga. This layered approach may influence Harley Quinn’s trajectory, leaving her potential DCU return in question.
Speculation and Fan Anticipation for Harley Quinn’s DCU Return
With Margot Robbie’s future as Harley Quinn uncertain, the DCU may introduce a new interpretation of the iconic character. Fans eagerly speculate whether Robbie will return or if another actor will inherit the role, possibly bringing fresh dynamics to the evolving universe. Until official announcements are made, the question of Harley Quinn’s DCU Return continues to intrigue the fanbase.
For now, DCU fans can only wait and hope that Harley Quinn’s chaotic charm will continue to be part of James Gunn’s cinematic universe, either through Robbie’s reprisal or a new incarnation that keeps the character’s spirit alive.
