The Suicide Squad Cast Reveal - Predicting EVERY Character

by Simon Gallagher

1. Margot Robbie - Harley Quinn

Margot Robbie is the DCEU's biggest star, and the likely lead of the next Suicide Squad.

Robbie's turn as Harley in the first film ended up being the best thing about it, while next year's Birds of Prey already looks stunning too. With that in mind, a Suicide Squad sequel without Quinn would've been an infinitely less enticing prospect than one with her, and it'll be interesting to see how the character winds back up with the Squad after the events of that film.

Of course, the first film ended with Quinn being broken out of Belle Reve by Jared Leto's Joker, who is absent from both Birds of Prey and Gunn's sequel. This'll mean Robbie will stick closer to the version of Harley seen after she broke ties with the Joker in the wake of the New 52, and given the reception to Leto's portrayal and the way the first film portrayed his relationship with Quinn, that can only be considered a good thing.
