Although the film has been savaged by critics, many conceded that Robbie’s turn as Harley Quinn was one of the highlights of the film. The huge success of the movie also suggests that Warner Bros. will move ahead with a sequel soon, giving some degree of momentum to the star’s notion.

Describing what she liked most about playing Harley, Robbie said that she appreciated the chance to play “an intricate character with an awesome story arc,” also adding that she would like co-star Jared Leto to reprise his role as The Joker in her proposed spin-off:

Robbie went on to praise Leto’s performance as the Clown Prince of Crime, touching on some of the scenes that were cut out of the film. “There was so much of our backstory…they probably realized that the emotional through-line of the story had to be the mission we were on, and kind of explaining The Enchantress’ position and all that kind of stuff, and the backstory stuff — though it’s like magic…there’s a lot but it just didn’t make sense to confuse the present storyline with that.”

As for a spinoff starring the maniacal couple? Robbie really wants one. “I’m trying to make that happen. Not for anything specifically, but just something — there’s so much more to do.”

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
