Margot Robbie is excited to see Gaga as Harley Quinn in ‘Joker 2,’ and explains why they haven’t talked about the iconic character.
Margot Robbie is excited for her role as Harley Quinn, the iconic lady Lady Gaga in the upcoming movie “Joker: Folly a Deux.” In a recent interview with Variety on the Golden Globe Awards red carpet, Robbie expressed her belief that Gaga would “kill it” with the iconic DC character herself. Although he hasn’t told Gaga about the role, Robbie prefers to keep it a secret and be surprised to see the film.
A complex and fascinating relationship
The story of the Joker and Harley is one of the most complex and popular in comics, characterized by a twisted dynamic that has captivated fans for years. This multifaceted relationship provides a rich context for Robbie and Gaga’s performances, adding depth and emotion to their respective performances.
Looking back, 30 years ago the origins of Harley Quinn were first revealed, a character with a twisted and fascinating history. Robbie, who played Harley in several DCEU films, sees the character as a great character to play with different actors over time. For Robbie, the fun and versatility of the character keeps it constantly being explored and reinvented.
Evolution and creativity in cinema and comics
Harley Quinn’s image has evolved significantly since her appearance in DC Comics, becoming a symbol of strength and sophistication. Originally created as a supporting character in the Batman animated series, Harley has gained her own identity, moving away from the Joker’s shadow and becoming an anti-hero with a rich individual narrative. This evolution reflects the change in the representation of female characters in the media, who now occupy leading and dynamic roles.
Harley Quinn’s influence on popular culture goes beyond comics and movies. His influence can be seen in fashion, video games, and other media, and his unique aesthetic and charming personality have inspired many fans. This event highlights how a well-developed character can transcend mainstream and become a cultural icon on multiple platforms. Harley is not just a character, but a symbol of resistance, freedom and constant change.
To all of this, we must add Margot Robbie’s performance, which resonated deeply with the public, giving her a blend of vulnerability and strength that was pivotal in this transformation of Harley Quinn. His performance redefined the character, making it more accessible and three-dimensional. In the DCEU films, Robbie has explored many aspects of Harley, from her tumultuous relationship with the Joker to growing up as an individual. This depth has contributed to the character’s popularity, suggesting that complex and complicated female characters can be as engaging or even more appealing to audiences than their male counterparts.
Opportunity to return
While there is doubt that Robbie will return as Harley in the DCU, there is hope. James Gunn, famous in the DC universe, has said that he would like to work with Robbie again, either as Harley or in another role. This shows that the door is open for a possible return.
With “Joker: Folie à Deux” scheduled to premiere on October 4, 2024, fans are excited to see what direction this new chapter in Harley Quinn’s story will take. Expectations are high for both Lady Gaga’s performance and Margot Robbie’s surprise for the future of the DC universe.
