Margot Robbie On Playing SUICIDE SQUAD's 'Harley Quinn', Working With Jared Leto, And More
Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street) talks here for the first time about being cast as Harley Quinn in David Ayer's Suicide Squad, sharing her thoughts on the pressure with playing a beloved character, the voice, and working alongside Jared Leto as The Joker. Check it out!
MTV News caught up with Margot Robbie at the Sundance Film Festival to talk Suicide Squad, and they started off by asking the actress how she feels to be the first actress to bring Harley Quinn to life on the big screen. "Yeah, I guess it’s intimidating because there’s obviously a lot of people I want to please, and a character I have to do justice, but it’s a challenge, I’m definitely up for it, and hopefully I don’t disappoint." Unfortunately, when the site asked if she has a specific voice in mind, she couldn't give too many details away about the project as it's still in such early stages. "We haven’t gotten too far into it, we’re still pretty far off. I’m actually shooting a movie before that, so my focus is kind of on that at the moment, we haven’t really gotten into the logistics of everything yet." She then went on to express her excitement to work with Jared Leto (he plays The Joker in the movie), describing him as a "Great, great co-star." What do you guys think?
