Margot Robbie, renowned for her role as Harley Quinn, has no confirmed projects for her return, even though the character will appear in four upcoming DC entries in 2024.

With Robbie’s involvement up in the air, Harley Quinn is set for a busy 2024, featuring in one film and multiple TV shows with different interpretations of the character.

Finally, Harley Quinn season 5 will air sometime in 2025, moving the duo of Harley and Poison Ivy from Gotham City to Metropolis.
Margot Robbie’s Future as Harley Quinn in the DCU
