Margot Robbie‘s portrayal of Harley Quinn in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) has been a fan favorite, and fans have been eagerly awaiting news of her return to the franchise. Here’s what we know so far:

James Gunn Teases Margot Robbie’s Return

DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has hinted that Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn may be returning to the DC Universe. When asked if he would work with Robbie again, Gunn responded with a simple “for sure.” Given that Gunn has confirmed that Harley Quinn will return at some point, it’s possible that he is hinting at working with Robbie on the character again in the new DCU.

DC Studios has suggested that five DCU superheroes are the most important characters for the upcoming reboot, and one of them is Harley Quinn. This strongly suggests that the character will be retained for the DCU.

Potential Projects For Harley Quinn’s Return

Assuming that Robbie’s Harley Quinn will be retained in the DCU, there are a few potential projects where the character could make a comeback. One is the Waller project, due to Harley’s strong ties to Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller, the Task Force X leader. Another possibility is a Bloodsport project headlined by Idris Elba. The ending of The Suicide Squad indicated that Bloodsport and Harley could be working together, and Elba has teased that he has “a really big thing cooking” for a DC return.

While it’s still unclear whether Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn will be returning to the DCU, the signs look promising. With James Gunn teasing her return and DC Studios suggesting that she is one of the most important characters for the upcoming reboot, it seems likely that we’ll be seeing more of Harley Quinn in the future.
