Margot Robbie‘s recent comments about potentially stepping away from the role of Harley Quinn in future DC Universe projects have sparked discussions among fans.

He went on: “But I’d love to work with her again as Harley or as someone else.” “There are no plans at this time for anyone else to play Harley (I mean, other than in Todd’s movie or the animated show/s.)”
Gunn’s response to Robbie’s comments provides hope for fans wishing to see her continue as Harley Quinn.
Although he hasn’t recently discussed the matter with Robbie, Gunn expressed his desire to collaborate with her again, either as Harley or in a different role.

Casting decisions in the entertainment industry can change quickly, so it’s important to be cautious when interpreting updates.
