Potential Future Directions for the Role of Harley Quinn
Robbie has expressed heartfelt affection for Harley Quinn, but she also voiced hopes that the character evolves beyond her portrayal, joining the ranks of DC characters who have been portrayed by multiple actors over the years. This suggests that the role of Harley Quinn may soon see new interpretations, allowing the character to grow and persist independent of any single actor.
You can’t get sick of Harley. I love her so deeply. I always had high hopes for her, like Batman – a character that lives on long after I’ve had a go at it.

Currently, no announcements have been made regarding who might take over the role of Harley Quinn in upcoming DC Universe projects.

Looking Ahead in the DC Universe
While fans await further news, The Suicide Squad remains available for streaming on Max, allowing audiences to revisit Margot Robbie’s last appearance as Harley Quinn. As the DC Universe develops its rebooted slate, attention will remain focused on how the character’s legacy proceeds and who will next embody this iconic villainess.
