Margot Robbie thinks that Harley Quinn is more self-reliant than ever in "The Suicide Squad," and in an interview with Toronto Sun, she laid out some of her views regarding the character's development over the course of her path in the DC Extended Universe.
"I think in the first 'Suicide Squad' film she had a certain confidence and cockiness, knowing that she had the protection of the Joker," Robbie said about Harley's former relationship with the Clown Prince of Crime (played by Jared Leto in "Suicide Squad"). "She was like, 'I'll go on this mission, and he'll get me out of here in a second' ... that was kind of her prerogative on that film. Then in 'Birds of Prey' it was, 'Oh s***, it's a scary, cold world. Maybe I can't do it.'"
As for "The Suicide Squad," Robbie revealed that Harley is far more confident and independent than in her previous appearances.
"In this film, time has passed, it doesn't directly link to either of those films, but it's not something that Harley is wrestling with anymore," the actress said. "She's not waiting for Mr. J to show up, and she's not wondering if she can do it on her own. She knows."
The audiences will find out just what Harley Quinn is capable of when "The Suicide Squad" drops on August 6.
