Margot Robbie celebrated for her portrayal of Harley Quinn in the DCEU, finds her future with the character in limbo. Despite Robbie's acclaimed performances, DC has announced four upcoming Harley Quinn projects for 2024, none featuring Robbie. This situation raises questions about her role in the evolving DC Universe.
Harley Quinn's 2024 slate includes a blend of animated series and a major film, showcasing different facets of the character. The first project, Suicide Squad Isekai, set for release on June 27, is an anime that transports Harley and other Suicide Squad members to a fantastical realm teeming with magical creatures, as mentioned in a report by Screenrant.
Following this, Batman: Caped Crusader will premiere on August 1. This series introduces an Asian American version of Harley, portraying Harleen Quinzel as a humorous yet dangerous figure. The narrative promises a fresh perspective on the beloved anti-heroine.
The most anticipated release is undoubtedly Joker: Folie à Deux, arriving on October 4. This film stars Lady Gaga as «Lee,» a new interpretation of Harley Quinn, opposite Joaquin Phoenix's Joker. As a groundbreaking musical in the superhero genre, it has garnered substantial attention.
Additionally, Harley Quinn season 5, expected in 2025, will see Harley and Poison Ivy venturing from Gotham City to Metropolis, continuing the animated series' success.
