David Ayer's Suicide Squad will be the film that establishes the villains of the DC Film Universe, and among them is fan favorite Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie). Not only will we get to see her origins in Suicide Squad, but we will also get to see the film explore the mad doctor's relationship with and without the Joker (Jared Leto).
But what makes Harley Quinn so special and loved by so many? Well, according to a recent interview with Vogue, Margot Robbie believes it's because it's fun to watch crazy. “She doesn’t even have superpowers,” explains Robbie. “She’s just a psychopath who runs around gleefully killing people—she finds joy in causing mayhem, which makes her weirdly endearing and fun to watch.”
Director David Ayer then went on to talk about Robbie's ability to play Harley, and how it requires “a lot of heavy lifting for an actor. But she’s a tough girl, and she’s incredibly smart and mature beyond her years. She has ridiculous depth, and she’s never been coddled, so she’s very physically courageous. The things she was doing herself as far as stunts, you wouldn’t believe. There’s only a handful of actors who do that sort of work themselves.”
