Margot Robbie brought the character to life in the best way possible. However, she plans on making some changes.
Fans can expect to see the spin-off of Suicide Squad in 2020, but it's already created lots of excitement.
Since Harley Quinn is at the forefront of the Birds of Prey movie, which is being written and directed by women, she is making the character for women.
She then unites with girl gang Black Canary, Huntress, and Renee Montoya to save a girl from an evil crime lord.
"That’s what happens when you have a female producer, director, writer. Yeah, it’s definitely less male gaze-y." she said.
She told Collider, "I pitched the idea of an R-rated girl gang film including Harley, because I was like, ‘Harley needs friends.’ Harley loves interacting with people, so don’t ever make her do a standalone film."
She told Vogue, "I think there’s a perception that a PG female-led action film is kind of considered a chick flick."
"I wasn’t seeing enough girl gangs on screen, especially in the action space. So that was always a big part of it."
"They always get ‘Here’s the tiny little film’… I was like, ‘I love action. I love action films. I’m a girl. What, are we meant to only like a specific thing’?” So it was a hugely important to find a female director for this, if possible."
"Cathy was the best director," Robbie stated.
She took on Bumblebee back in 2018.
Other female crew include producer Sue Kroll and script supervisor Jody Blose.
So, the new Harley Quinn flick truly is a film made from and centered on powerhouse women in the biz, and it's truly taking a whole different direction for viewers.
Her outfit was basically to impress male viewers.
But this script gives us hope for the new Harley Quinn!
Irina observed that the new version of Harley Quinn looks more "Sporty Spice" and less "psycho schoolgirl."
"Yeah, it’s definitely less male gaze-y," she said.
The amount of girl power that will be in one film is going to be iconic.
