James Gunn Says Harley Quinn Will Join the DCU Eventually, and if Margot Robbie Wants to Play Here He'll 'Bend Over Backwards to Explain That in the World'

James Gunn has addressed the situation with Margot Robbie’s much-loved take on Harley Quinn, and whether she’s canon in the ongoing DC Universe. Robbie played Quinn in David Ayer’s 2016 movie, Suicide Squad, 2020’s Birds of Prey, then James Gunn’s sort of sequel, The Suicide Squad . Since then, Gunn has rebooted the DCU, with Quinn so far nowhere to be seen. The question of whether Robbie’s Quinn is canon is a big one for the DCU, because while some characters from The Suicide Squad have gone on to appear in the DCU (Peacemaker chief among them), not all have.
