Birds Of Prey Trailer Review: 7 Ups & 4 Downs

2. Margot Robbie's Performance Is The Same

If you loved what Margot Robbie did with Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, the good news of this trailer is that not a great deal has changed in her performance. This could have been a chance for her - and Warner Bros - to softly reboot the character, but that's definitely not the case.

In actual fact, Harley looks slightly improved from David Ayer's version. She's not wearing the hotpants designed for someone else's gaze, she chops her hair into even more recognisable Quinn bunches, we get to see her hyena pets from the animated series and Robbie has even fine-tuned her accent a little more to bring it even closer to the original.

The continuity here is a good thing and it's not really surprising that she's the biggest presence in the trailer. With this sort of project, leading with your gold chips makes sense.
