In the wild world of Gotham’s crazy stories, Lady Gaga’s jumping into Joker 2 is making waves. But hold up; Margot Robbie ain’t letting go of Harley Quinn’s legacy without a fight.

The buzz around Gaga’s gig is getting louder, and Robbie’s commitment is stealing the spotlight, making us wonder where these iconic characters are headed next.

Flashback to Robbie snagging the role of Harley Quinn in the DC Extended Universe, kicking off with Suicide Squad back in 2014. Now, enter Lady Gaga, set to rock the Harley Quinn vibes in Joker: Folie a Deux. 

Joaquin Phoenix is back as the Clown Prince of Crime, leading the crew, with Gaga adding her twist as Harley Quinn. Here’s the twist, though: while Robbie ruled as Harley in the DCEU and plans to keep doing so, Joker: Folie a Deux is one of those DC Elseworlds flicks, giving Gaga’s Harley Quinn its own space to shine.

But wait, Robbie spilled some beans about playing Harley Quinn before. On Actors on Actors, in a chat with Jake Gyllenhaal, she spilled,

“Harley is one of those insane characters. People do seem to really like her. I hope I get to keep playing her.”

Now, that’s dedication. In the face of all this shake-up, Robbie’s Harley isn’t backing down. She is promising a crazy ride in the DC Universe. Now, the million-dollar question: Will Robbie slip back into those Harley Quinn shoes?

So, the Hollywood grapevine is buzzing with hints that Robbie might be strapping back into her Harley Quinn boots. What’s fueling this speculation?

Well, it seems the film producer herself is up for another round as the iconic antihero. After dropping the bomb that she needed a Harley break post-The Suicide Squad, she did a 180 in a 2021 chat with Entertainment Tonight, stating,

“I’ve had enough of a break. I’m ready to do her again. 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. I’m always ready for more Harley.”

Talk about a change of heart. Fast forward to Robbie’s Barbie triumph in 2023: a hit for Warner Bros. Critics loved it, audiences loved it, and everyone loved it. This girl’s got star power. And let’s not forget, Robbie’s Harley Quinn has always been the DCEU show-stealer.

Now, with Barbie’s triumph and Robbie’s DCEU track record, it’s a no-brainer for Warner Bros. to want her back in the DC Universe. Harley Quinn is DC Comics royalty, after all.

So, buckle up, Gothamites! The prospect of Robbie reprising Harley promises another wild ride in the DC Universe. Are we ready for more Quinn chaos? Fans are on the edge of their seats, wondering if Robbie’s gearing up for another trip to the twisted streets of Gotham.
