THE SUICIDE SQUAD Director Says Margot Robbie Is "Probably The Best Actor" He's Ever Worked With

Responding to a "fan" on social media, The Suicide Squad director James Gunn has given high praise to star Margot Robbie while also leaping to the defence of her character, Harley Quinn. Take a look...

The Suicide Squad director James Gunn shared some Harley Quinn/King Shark fan art on Instagram, and wound up offering high praise to star Margot Robbie in response to a user's comment.

As baffling as it may seem, there is a perception that Warner Bros. may have persuaded Gunn to add Quinn to his new Task Force X line-up, but the filmmaker was quick to shoot that theory down when someone posted, "I know you won't admit it, but you have to be at least a little pissed the studio is forcing Harley into your movie."

"GTFO, she's probably my favourite DC character," Gunn retorted. "And Margot Robbie is probably the best actor I've worked with, bar none."

Beyond the usual sexist bullshit, it's hard to imagine why anyone would think the studio would need to "force" any director to utilize HQ in their movie. Robbie's take on the character was easily one of the biggest highlights of the first Suicide Squad, and even though Birds of Prey didn't live up to expectations from a box office standpoint, it was generally well received by fans and critics alike.

At any rate, we will see Miss Quinn back in action with the rest of Task Force X when The Suicide Squad blasts into theaters next year.

???

Who would you say is the best actor he's worked with? Margot is pretty incredible. If you've only seen her as Quinn I could maybe see why you'd think that

@regularmovieguy - Viola Davis is in the same damn movie. Margot is not even on the same level as her. He also worked with Glenn Close on Guardians.

You’re right. Glenn Close is also great.

Gunn’s worked with a lot of talented actors. But Margot Robbie is also pretty great.

I guess he just means best in terms of how fun it was to work with and collaborate with, since they probably have a similar sense of humor. Because Gunn's worked with some great actors, lol

@tmp3 - I think in the capacity he’s worked with her versus the others (two you referenced were just voice work and I bet Harley is more of a main character than the collector and Waller) I agree and feel like this isn’t really that controversial of a statement for him to make

Even though I've seen very little, it's the first Harley Quinn actually looks like Harley Quinn. And that's not the studio, it's Gunn embracing the comic book side of things because he wants too
