Margot Robbie’s portrayal of Harley Quinn in the DCEU is one of the most notable portrayals of the character that has been praised by both viewers as well as critics. The Amsterdam actress brought charm and charisma to the character while adding new additions to the character; she remained faithful to the source material. However, in the upcoming Joker: Folie à Deux, Lady Gaga will be portraying the iconic character and fans were not thrilled about it.
While the fans were both furious and excited to see Lady Gaga be the new Harley Quinn in the DCU. James Gunn, the Co-CEO of the DC Studios who has rebooted the entire franchise has broken his silence if fans would see Margot Robbie again in her iconic DC role in the future.
