DC Extended Universe actress Margot Robbie is often regarded by comic book film fans as the definitive live-action version of Harley Quinn and her brilliant performance in The Suicide Squad pretty much solidifies that. Now, we still don't know what the future holds for the Australian superstar but it's safe to assume that she'll be sticking around in the DC franchise for more years to come. However, Margot worried many fans when it was recently reported that she plans to take a hiatus from playing the DC anti-hero.
She would later clarify that she's not going anywhere and is ready for Harley's next adventure but according to a new rumor from Bounding Into Comics, Robbie is in danger of being booted out of the DCEU in shocking fashion. The entertainment website claims that The Suicide Squad's box office failure was a huge factor in her taking a break from portraying the character and plans allegedly call for her to be recast down the line. Of course, nothing has been officially confirmed yet so take this one with a huge grain of salt.

Honestly, it's hard to take the report seriously especially considering James Gunn has already expressed his desire to work again with Margot in a future DC project. In fact, according to the Guardians of the Galaxy filmmaker, the two have been discussing ideas for quite some time now. Not only that, but it was Warner Bros. who requested The Suicide Director to keep Harley Quinn in the project and for years now, the studio has been very pleased with the actress' portrayal of the character.
The Suicide Squad is now showing in cinemas. It's also available for streaming on HBO Max.
