James Gunn Says Harley Quinn Will Join the DCU Eventually, and if Margot Robbie Wants to Play Here He'll 'Bend Over Backwards to Explain That in the World'

James Gunn has addressed the situation with Margot Robbie’s much-loved take on Harley Quinn, and whether she’s canon in the ongoing DC Universe.

Robbie played Quinn in David Ayer’s 2016 movie, Suicide Squad, 2020’s Birds of Prey, then James Gunn’s sort of sequel, The Suicide Squad. Since then, Gunn has rebooted the DCU, with Quinn so far nowhere to be seen.

The question of whether Robbie’s Quinn is canon is a big one for the DCU, because while some characters from The Suicide Squad have gone on to appear in the DCU (Peacemaker chief among them), not all have. So, is Robbie’s Quinn a part of the DCU or not?

In a special The Suicide Squad: Is It Canon? podcast, Gunn explained the difficulty he has making a call on Robbie’s version of Quinn.

“I think Harley is actually one of the more difficult things in this to justify as being canon in the DCU,” he said.

Quinn is a character who goes hand in hand with Batman’s arch villain, the Joker, who, similarly, has yet to show up in the DCU. The question of whether Quinn and Joker have broken up remains unanswered after some cryptic words from Quinn herself, but, according to Gunn, either way, it would be difficult to introduce Quinn into the DCU without Joker.

” Gunn said. “Well, we definitely haven't established the Joker yet in the DCU at all. We've established Batman. We've already seen that he exists. We've seen him in Creature Commandos for a glimpse, but we don't know if Joker exists yet.
