Summary
- James Gunn pondered Harley Quinn's DCU canon status.
- Joker's absence makes Harley's canon difficult.
- Robbie's return depends on her willingness.
James Gunn, co-head of DC Studios, has raised questions about the potential canon status of Margot Robbie's portrayal of Harley Quinn within the newly forming DC Universe.
During a recent podcast, Gunn discussed the complexities of integrating Harley Quinn into the DCU, citing the absence of The Joker as a significant hurdle. He noted that Batman is the only established character from that universe, having appeared in a cameo on 'Creature Commandos'.
Gunn expressed his admiration for Robbie as an actress and as Harley Quinn, having enjoyed working with her on 'The Suicide Squad'. However, he acknowledged that Robbie might have moved on from the character.
Ultimately, Gunn stated that while Harley Quinn is a character he intends to use, Robbie's return is contingent on her own interest. If she wishes to reprise the role, he would accommodate it; otherwise, he would consider casting another actor.
