AceShowbiz - Margot Robbie confirms that a "Suicide Squad" spinoff focusing on her character Harley Quinn is indeed in the works at Warner Brothers. "I'm trying to make that happen," she says on a Tipsy Talk interview. "Not for anything specifically, but just something [because] there's so much more to do."
Robbie also comments on the deleted scenes that featured Jared Leto's The joker. "There was so much of our backstory," she says. "They probably realized that the emotional through-line of the story had to be the mission we were on, ... explaining The Enchantress' position and all that kind of stuff." She added, "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."
Although "Suicide Squad" was panned by critics, Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn and Will Smith's Deadshot were some of the elements getting praise in the movie. "I feel like I hit the lottery," Robbie says of landing the role. "The chicks never get these roles. We never get the roles where we have the funny one-liners and then the kick-ass action scene, but then also an intricate character with an awesome story arc. You just don't really get that in a big-budget film."
