James Gunn & Margot Robbie Love the Idea of Harley Quinn & Groot Teaming Up

In a response to a fan question on Twitter, director James Gunn shares that Margot Robbie and he love the idea of Harley Quinn and Groot teaming up. Director James Gunn shares that Margot Robbie and he love the idea of Harley Quinn and Groot teaming up. Gunn and Robbie will be teaming up themselves for the Guardians of the Galaxy director’s new incarnation of The Suicide Squad. Although the 2016 version of the DC ensemble film brought in $747 million at the box office, it was panned by critics and audiences. In Gunn’s new and reportedly more comedic version of Suicide Squad, new actors will be featured, such as John Cena, Taika Waititi, Idris Elba, Alice Braga, and Nathan Fillion. However, one of the few positives from David Ayer’s 2016 version, Robbie’s Harley Quinn, will return and likely have a strong presence in the film. Robbie most recently returned as the Harley Quinn character for Birds Of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), which she opted to make instead of Gotham City Sirens,a film that would have seen Harley join popular DC characters like Poison Ivy and Catwoman. Unlike Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey has received a lot of praise as it currently sits with a Rotten Tomatoes critics score of 80 percent and an audience score of 83 percent. The appreciation it is receiving will likely mean we’ll see another Harley Quinn story down the line, but according to Gunn, the director in charge of Robbie’s next screen outing as Harley, Robbie and he have discussed quite a unique idea for Harley Quinn.
