Margot Robbie is excited about the possibility of seeing Lady Gaga play Harley Quinn in the Joker sequel Folie a Deux. She told MTV News that she thinks it would be interesting to see how the Grammy-winning artist would interpret the character.
The actress who played Harley Quinn in multiple DC films said that the character is similar to Macbeth or Batman, as several people often fill the role over time. “It makes me so happy, because I said from the very beginning that all I want is for Harley Quinn to be one of those characters, the way Macbeth or Batman always gets passed from great actor to great actor,” she explained.
Robbie continued, “It’s kind of like someone gets to do their Batman, or someone gets to do their Macbeth. I feel like, in not so many cases, are they female characters — Queen Elizabeth I, but beyond that, which I got to have a crack out as well, which I was honored to do. I was like, ‘Wow! Cate Blanchett did Queen Elizabeth I. Now I get to.'” She added, “It’s such an honor to have built a foundation strong enough that Harley can now be one of those characters that other actors get to have a go at playing. And I think she’ll do something incredible with it.”
It’s uncertain whether Robbie will reprise her role as Harley Quinn anytime soon, but she confirmed last year that she’s ready to return to the part after a brief absence — ideally for a spinoff from James Gunn. “I did Birds of Prey and The Suicide Squad back-to-back, so that was a lot of Harley all in a one-year period, but that was a while ago now,” she said. “I’m always ready for more, Harley!”
Gaga will also be in Folie a Deux, costarring with Joaquin Phoenix. Not much is known about the plot yet, but it should come out on October 4, 2024.
