She’s also one of the DCEU’s biggest assets, and having her champion a project can go a long way to making it happen-this is pretty much what happened with the first Birds of Prey film, which Robbie was instrumental in bringing to the screen. Robbie is currently one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood, and has started her own production company, Luck圜hap Entertainment, which has produced films like I, Tonya, Birds of Prey, and Promising Young Woman.
“It was very fun to make.” The fact that Robbie, who was both the lead cast member and a producer on the film, seemed to enjoy the making of Birds of Prey is certainly a factor to consider. “I’m glad that you love the film,” Robbie continues diplomatically. Birds of Prey is a creatively clever and supremely enjoyable film, without any qualifiers, but its novelty as a Hollywood product is not unrelated to the fact that it wasn’t made by the same narrow demographic that makes most major Hollywood films. In Chinese-born American filmmaker Cathy Yan, it boasted a woman of color as director, and the result was something new and different. Birds of Prey is one of the very few recent Hollywood blockbusters to be produced, directed, written, and to have a cast led by women. This is not the best news for Birds of Prey fans-or for supporters of female-driven franchise films. But no, there’s no sequel in the works that I’m aware of at this stage.”
“I don’t know if that is on the horizon anytime soon,” Robbie tells Den of Geek, when asked if the Birds of Prey sequel conversation is active. As part of our Den of Geek magazine The Suicide Squad cover story, we asked Margot Robbie if there has been any talk of a Birds of Prey sequel. While Harley Quinn will be back on the big screen in the upcoming The Suicide Squad, she won’t be surrounded by her girl gang, but rather a new motley crew. While our very own David Crow wrote an excellent piece about how Birds of Prey was not the financial flop that parts of the media made it out to be, it wasn’t the next Deadpool either, leaving the future of this corner of the DCEU in question.

Unfortunately, the R-rated, Harley Quinn-driven girl gang movie did not blow the box office away. In the meantime, check out the 2021 movie release list to plan your next movie experience.Birds of Prey was one of the best films of 2020-a bright, bold super-powered film that blew the Bechdel Test right out of the water in fun, unexpected, and creative ways (I am still not over the mid-fight hair elastic request). The Suicide Squad will hit theaters and HBO Max on August 6th. Fans have even been hoping that they might end up with a HBO Max series, as the studio is expanding the DCEU in projects like Matt Reeves' Batman spinoff and John Cena’s Peacemaker series.
Although I’m certain Harley will be one of them.īirds of Prey fans are no doubt curious when characters like Huntress and Black Canary will return to the DCEU, after they were established as new superheroes at the end of the film.
James Gunn’s R-rated blockbuster is expected to include plenty of grisly death scenes, and it should be fascinating to see which characters make it out alive. In particular I’m curious to see where the heck Cassandra Cain ended up when Harley landed herself back in prison.įrom the looks of it, The Suicide Squad looks like a wild ride from start to finish. James Gunn has praised Robbie’s performance in the upcoming villain-centric blockbuster, and it should be interesting to see if he makes any references to Birds of Prey throughout the movie’s runtime. The Suicide Squad will mark Margot Robbie’s third appearance as Harley Quinn, each time working with an entirely different filmmaker.
