Margot Robbie approves of Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn in ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’
Former Harley Quinn in films like Suicide Squad and Birds of Prey, actress Margot Robbie thinks Lady Gaga is the best choice for this new movie version of the character:
It makes me very happy because I said from the very beginning that all I wanted was for Harley Quinn to be one of those characters like Macbeth or Batman that always goes from great actor to great actor. I’m honored to lay a foundation strong enough that Harley can now be one of those characters that other actors can try to embody. I think she’s going to do something amazing with it.
