Director David Ayer seems to be getting his Suicide Squad together for their closeup in 2016. Rumors of Jared Leto circling the role of The Joker last week should have confirmed that Harley would be a definite member and now it has happened.
Margot Robbie, who you may remember as the wife of Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street, has been cast as fan favorite psycho Harley Quinn. The character was introduced in Batman: The Animated Series in 1992 and became a permanent comic staple since.
Harley is one of those characters that comes with a rabid fan base and how she is handled in Suicide Squad is going to be scrutinized big time. That is what nerds do. To an annoying degree.
Robbie was very good in The Wolf of Wall St. with the character she was given. Let’s hope she has the goods to pull off the giddy insanity.
