Margot Robbie Reacts to Lady Gaga's Role as Harley Quinn

When speaking to Variety on the red carpet for the Golden Globe Awards, the popular Barbie and Suicide Squad star admitted that she's eager to see Lady Gaga step into the role, telling the publication, "Oh my god, she's going to crush it, are you kidding? She's going to be amazing! I can't wait to see it… I actually haven't spoken to her about it." She then solidifies her excitement as a fan of the character by adding, "I almost don't want to know, so I can save it for the surprise when I get to see the movie."

Just days ago, Robbie had a more in-depth conversation about the character of Harley Quinn and sharing the mantle with many actors for years to come, admitting, "I always wanted Harley to be a character that would get passed on to other actresses to play, the way there are so many iconic male characters. That was always the dream for her. Harley's so fun and can go in so many different directions. You put her in someone else's hands, and it's like, 'What are they going to do with her?' The options are endless."

For longtime fans of the DC character, having two influential talents associated with Harley Quinn is definitely a major win, so needless to say; we're eager to see how Gaga interprets the role when the Joker sequel drops in late 2024.

Joker: Folie à Deux will be released in theaters on October 4, 2024.
