Margot Robbie confirms her return as Harley Quinn in a standalone movie

Mumbai: Actor Margot Robbie, who essayed the role of Harley Quinn in 'Sucide Squad', has confirmed that a 'totally separate', film focusing on the character, is in the works.

Following the character's debut in 'Suicide Squad', Robbie and director David Ayer were confirmed to be developing spin-off film 'Gotham City Sirens', while 'Crazy Stupid Love' directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa were in talks to write and helm a movie about 'Harley and Joker'.

"I've been working on it for two years now. I mean, it's hard to kinda talk about it 'cause all this stuff is kinda under lock and key, but yeah, no, I've been working on a separate spin-off for Harley, thing, for a while now," Robbie told MTV News in an interview.

"There's a lot going on right now and I'm not sure I, honestly, I don't think anyone knows what's going to be the next thing to happen, but I think everyone's keen to get Harley back on screen and so everyone's working on different versions of what that could be," she added.

Suicide Squad, a 2016 American superhero film based on the antihero team of the same name by DC Comics, was panned by the critics, but Robbie's performance received universal praise.
