‘Birds of Prey’ Star Margot Robbie Reveals Why She HAD to Give Harley Quinn Her Own Film

For Margot Robbie, ‘Birds of Prey and the Fabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn’ has been a passion project five years in the making. Ahead of the movie’s release, Rotten Tomatoes correspondent Naz Perez sat down with Robbie to ask why she felt so connected to this character and why she worked so hard to bring her story to the big screen. Of course, ‘Birds of Prey’ is a Harley Quinn movie, but it’s no solo outing: We also spoke with the Birds themselves - Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Rosie Perez - and co-stars Ella Jay Basco and Chris Messina about working with Robbie and creating some of the DCEU’s most epic action scenes yet. Plus, director Cathy Yan talks creating a Gotham City befitting of her leading lady and working with Robbie to bring out Harley’s more vulnerable side.

I love the reason she chose BoP over GSS. She wanted to give the BoP characters the spotlight whereas Harley, Ivy and Catwoman already have. Granted, I wanted a GSS more, but I like her reasoning.

That's exactly what DC needs to do. They tried the Marvel formula and linking everything into one universe. It obviously didn't work. They need to tell great individual stories. It's working much better for them thus far. Just treat it like Infinite Earths.

@anastasiaromanova7665 4 жыл бұрын

I’m sorry but the appeal of Harley Quinn is her relationship with the Joker, she is such a unique character that is madly in love with her abuser which is why she’s so fascinating. She is interesting the way she is! I don’t appreciate Margot making up a Harley story where she has changed her so drastically so she can promote her own girl-power fantasy! She doesn’t need to use Harley for that!! She should have utilised Harley’s existing appeal or made her own girl-power movie without using Harley Quinn! She plays Harley so well, I just don’t understand why she had to change her!!

@etheric499 4 жыл бұрын

I don’t understand how Joker breaking up with Harley is ‘drastically’ changing her. Joker and Harley always break up, and end up getting back together. It’s in the comics, and suggested in the movie when she says “For the first time in a long time”. This means that it has happened, but not in a while. I feel like her using Harley was a very good and clever way to make a girl-power movie. Everyone has their own opinions, I respect yours, but I just wanted to state mine! :-)

@anastasiaromanova7665 4 жыл бұрын

Etheric I respect your opinion. I guess I just did not like seeing Harley suddenly as a sad single loser, at least that’s what it was like at the beginning of the film and it was a shocking change from the crazy but yet very cool and likeable character! Remember when Will Smith character risked staying behind bars and not seeing his daughter for Harley to stay alive! That’s the loved character I wanted to see! I’m just one of many fans that wanted to see a Harley and Joker film, however that did not happen because Margot felt like having a film to do with girl power! Even though she said in her past interviews she is not into comics and Harley’s character didn’t make sense to her!Anyone would’ve been able to play the role in this film but the reason it was Harley was because Harley was a success and no one would watch this film without her in it. It wasn’t a film about Harley! It was a film about girl power with Harley thrown in it!
