In just a few months time, Warner Bros. will begin production onSuicide Squad, bringing iconic villains such as Deadshot (Will Smith), Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), The Joker (Jared Leto), Boomerang (Jai Courtney), Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnaman) and Enchantress (Cara Delevingne) to life on the big screen.Batman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeandSuicide Squadwill kick off Warner Bros.' massive slate of superhero movies up until 2020, including a two-partJustice Leaguemovie and stand alone adventures forWonder Woman,The Flash,Shazam!,Cyborgand aGreen Lantern Reboot. This busy schedule may not leave a lot of room in the near future for a potentialSuicide Squadsequel, but actressMargot Robbierevealed in a recent interview that she has signed a multi-picture deal to play Halrley Quinn for many years to come. Here’s what she had to say about that “daunting” prospect.
“Yeah, that’s daunting. You don’t need to have commitment issues to be frightened by the fact that you might have just signed 10 years of your life away. … But with her, it’s a character I don’t think would ever get boring. Ever. So if they didSuicide Squad, “Two” and “Three,” I would be over the moon about it.”
Of course, we’ll have to wait and see how the firstSuicide Squadfares at the box office before any real sequel talk can begin in earnest, but it seems clear that Warner Bros. has a long-term plan in place for Harley Quinn and the rest of theSuicide Squadmembers. The actress also talked about how frustrating it is to find so few strong female roles in Hollywood today.
“The most frustrating thing is picking up a script and loving the roles in it except the female ones… It’s really annoying and something I’ve striven to change in the industry. I’ve actually just started working on the producing side… Our goal is going to be to work with female writers and directors, and female-driven scripts. We want to change things.”
