James Gunn teases Margot Robbie could return as Harley Quinn in the DCU

Gunn told EW that when it comes to who will play Harley Quinn in the DCU—whether that’s Robbie or someone new—we have to wait to find out. “That will be revealed down the line,” he said.

How far down the line? That news could come next week or it could be years before we know. That might be because Gunn hasn’t decided just yet. But he might have already decided and doesn’t want to tell us because it would be a spoiler. He might even be waiting on Robbie herself to decide.

While Gunn is mum on Margot, he didn’t shy away saying he wants another star from his 2021 film back. “I definitely am always looking for a place to put Bloodsport and figuring that out,” he said. “So we’ll see what happens.”

Do it, James. Do it. Elba made for a fantastic Bloodsport and we’d love to see him return to the role in the DCU. Gunn’s The Suicide Squad was one of the best entries in the DCEU. And if Christopher Smith and the 11th Street Kids can survive the franchise reboot there’s no reason Peacemaker’s old teammate can’t.

Plus, Elba’s return might make it even easier down the proverbial line for Margot Robbie to come back as Harley Quinn.
