I'm cool with this. She's done a great job as her.
and I'm VERY cool with this!

Moreso than the animated series? Not a chance. And isn't she the only live-action version, anyway? Being definitive when you're the only one to do it (again, aside from the cartoon) doesn't make much sense. Unless this was sarcasm.
This, only Harley Quinn I've been super into like ever, was never sold on Margot's take on the character tbh
10000% this please
Yep!
I'm pretty that came out a while ago
Lol in the early 2000s, when blockbuster was still a thing, this was stocked there. Surprised it was even there considering it's a porno.
It was pretty mid tho, and I ended up probably playing Def Jam FFNY for the rest of the night.
Well, she clearly based it off the animated series version with an extension of the comic portrayal, so I wouldn't say it's definitive or she shaped the character, but she's the only one to have gotten an honest crack at live action so far.
She really didn't.
How Margot Robbie Was Convinced DC Universe's Harley Quinn Show Differed From Birds Of Prey
With two Harley Quinn projects coming out at once, it seemed like there might be room for similar content, but no.

The original animated version, 1993She really didn't.

To me it kind of reads like Cavills comments on Superman, there's nothing planned right now so there's nothing to talk about. Everyone is still open to them reprising their roles but another path can easily be taken.
I'm sure if Suicide Squad does gang busters she could push for more Harley whenever, but otherwise she's fine giving it a rest for a bit. It doesn't read like she's retiring from the character, she's just not going to push for more Harley for awhile so she'll wait to be asked to return.
It'd be a shame if she never returns, she's a blast in the role.

I'll be honest, most of the threads about Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn or about Birds of Prey are really depressing to me.
I usually really don't like superhero stuff. Like at all. I have nothing fundamentally against most of them, but they just really bore me. Birds of Prey was the first superhero or comic book-inspired movie that really pulled me in. For a lot of reasons about the characters and how the movie was made, I felt seen for the very first time in a genre that is usually very clearly not talking to me.
And I know I'm not alone, a lot of my friends are in the same boat as me concerning comic book stuff, and a lot of them – mostly women – LOVED Birds of Prey. Admittedly, none of us went to see it in theater because, you know, "ugh, boring superhero stuff". But when we had a chance to see the film after its theatrical run, we were completely hooked. I've seen the movie so many times now... It even had me interested in other comic book stuff for the very first time.
It's bumming me out that so many people don't want to even begin to recognize the appeal the movie had for many women. So I guess it means the genre will return to a state where it will be churning movies after movies wanting to mostly talk exclusively to men, and I'll continue to be bored about superhero stuff.

Margot Robbie was too good for DC. She's one of the best actresses out there, and she got the worst stuff from DC. Wonder if she could do something at Marvel
Me too about Birds of Prey being great and not getting enough love. I mean, Im not a woman but from all the recent DC movies, its so far and away better than most of their stuff. Probably my second favourite DC movie in recent memory (not counting Snyder cut).

Birds of Prey was a joy, and other than the issues I have with it's portrayal of Cassandra Cain, it was a great movie.
I'm 60% sure that there is a PG-13 cut without the XXX content
I bet that version is better than the PoTC sequels
I think Samara Weaving from Ready or Not and the Babysitter could pull it off if Margot isn't interested anymore.
Don't sweat it. Birds of Prey will outlast many of the DC movies I feel, as time goes on.
Films?
Only one was critically panned, and she was consensus the good thing about that one.
Good, she's way too talented to waste a decade of her career at its prime doing comicbook movies, regardless of how good she's in them.
Well put and I agree. Though I'm a large addict of the MCU, Robbie's Harley was the only real thing to get me interested in, enjoying and hooked on DC's output. Birds of Prey remains their best movie to date for me, it's just wall to wall fun. I'd have loved more in that vein.
I'll savour Suicide Squad and hope she returns for more down the road.
