While Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn quickly earned herself a place in the hearts of many moviegoers following her debut in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, that version of the DC villain hasn’t always appealed to fans more fond of her appearances in Batman: The Animated Series and various comic books arcs.
However, if a recent comment from director James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) is anything to go by, those who haven’t been too keen on the character’s roles in Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey may soon see a version more to their liking.
During a recent Twitter Q&A, The Suicide Squad director described his version of Harley Quinn as an “exploding Paul Dini-esque” take, a direct reference to one of the creators behind Batman: The Animated Series, which is where the iconic DC character first appeared.
Gunn provided no further details on how his vision of Quinn will differ from her past two appearances, but the Paul Dini name drop will likely pique the interest of many fans as they wait until the film’s release on August 6, 2021.
