While she did not win the award for Best Actress, her work has been critically praised by critics and brought a wider fan following, adding to her fame and establishing her as this generation’s prominent actress.
Throughout her cinematic career, the About Time actress has worked in different genres of films, but her most iconic role would probably be DC’s Harley Quinn. Margot Robbie has portrayed the role in 3 DC films, Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, and The Suicide Squad. However, she has a heartbreaking announcement regarding her iconic role, that will shatter all the hopes of the character’s revival.
Margot Robbie Breaks The Hope of Harley Quinn’s Revival in The New DCU
From her small screen debut in 2008, in the Australian Soap Opera, Neighbors to her breakthrough role in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street and her iconic performance in a number of films, followed by the film’s success. However, her portrayal of Harley Quinn sticks out and has helped her gain widespread recognition. However, the actress thinks that she should disappear for some time as people have grown tired of watching her face, and it’s probably for the best.
During an exclusive interview with Deadline, Margot Robbie was asked if it’s time for her to take a break, and they are concerned about her health, the actress replied,
“Everyone says that. Everyone’s like, “Are you having a break?” And I’m like, “You do know I’m a producer, right? We don’t get a break [laughs].[Laughs] True. No, the producing is 24/7, but on the acting side, this is the longest I haven’t acted on a set, because we finished Barbie in October of 2022. So, it’s already been more than a year since I was on set as an actor, and other than Covid, that’s the first time that’s ever happened.”
However, the Babylon actress thinks it’s time for a break as people are probably sick of watching her films, and she should disappear from the screen, and her next film will be “little while away.”
“I also think everyone’s probably sick of the sight of me for now. I should probably disappear from screens for a while. Honestly, if I did another movie too soon, people would say, “Her again? We just did a whole summer with her. We’re over it.” I don’t know what I’ll do next, but I hope it’s a little while away.”
Her announcement broke the hearts of the DC fans, as her portrayal of the titular character was perfect, and she embodied the character with ease, bringing immense praise and love from the fans.
Margot Robbie Talks About The Ocean’s Eleven Prequel
In the same interview with Deadline, Margot Robbie was asked about her “next agenda,” and if she will be doing the Ocean’s Eleven prequel. The actress was surprised and stated it is an early development, it’s too soon to talk anything about it, as there are a number of things that must be considered before announcing the film to the public.
“Well, that’s still in development. Word got out about that; we didn’t release anything because it’s way too soon, to be honest. Whether it winds up being the next thing, I don’t know. I don’t think so. It’s a pretty big project to put together and there are certain logistical things that we have to time it around.”
Hence, it looks like fans might receive an Ocean’s Eleven prequel than a Harley Quinn film in James Gunn’s DCU.
The Suicide Squad can be streamed on Max.
