The Suicide Squad director James Gunn says Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn will go on a journey in the upcoming DC film.

One of the most anticipated films coming from DC is James Gunn’s take on The Suicide Squad, which will see Margot Robbie returning to the role of Harley Quinn. The upcoming film from James Gunn will be a quasi-reboot of the 2016 film, which also featured Margot Robbie. The Australian actress recently reprised her role as Harley Quinn in Birds of Prey, her first solo outing as the breakout character.

Details regarding James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad are pretty slim, which are pretty much on par with the director’s other productions. In fact, most of the information coming from any of his productions is from his own social media accounts. James Gunn has become one of the most popular directors on social media because of his abundant interactions with fans. In the wake of The Suicide Squad completing its filming, James Gunn was asked on Instagram how many looks Harley Quinn would have in The Suicide Squad. James Gunn responded by saying that Margot Robbie’s character will be going through a journey in the upcoming DC film.

Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn has sported various looks during her brief but impactful career in the DCEU. It would make sense for Harley Quinn to have multiple looks, especially because she’s such an eclectic and eccentric character. In fact, one of her most iconic moments in the first Suicide Squad was when she stole accessories from a Midway City clothing store because it’s what “bad guys do”. While James Gunn doesn’t explicitly share how many looks Margot Robbie will go through in the upcoming film, it’s safe to say that quality will precede quantity.

The first Suicide Squad film followed a team of supervillains who were recruited by the government for a dangerous mission in exchange for reduced sentences. The cast included Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Jared Leto as The Joker. While the film was a box-office success, it was savaged by critics and currently holds a 27% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. James Gunn’s upcoming film is expected to deliver on the fresh take on the Suicide Squad but the director has not specified what connections it will have to the first film beyond returning cast members.

Written and directed by James Gunn, The Suicide Squad stars David Dastmalchian, John Cena, Jai Courtney, Joaquín Cosío, Nathan Fillion, Joel Kinnaman, Mayling Ng, Flula Borg, Sean Gunn, Juan Diego Botto, Storm Reid, Pete Davidson, Taika Waititi, Alice Braga, Steve Agee, Tinashe Kajese, Daniela Melchior, Peter Capaldi, Julio Ruiz, Jennifer Holland, Viola Davis, Idris Elba, Margot Robbie, and Michael Rooker.

The Suicide Squad will be released in theaters on August 6, 2021.
