Margot Robbie in Suicide Squad

Even though both Suicide Squad and Guardians of the Galaxy rely heavily on the chemistry among an ensemble cast to bring the screen to life, there is a blatant effort for both films to serve as star-making vehicles for a pair of rising talents.

That Marvel film transformed Chris Pratt from that goofy guy on TV’s Parks and Recreation into a Hollywood action hero (see: Jurassic World, the upcoming remake of The Magnificent Seven). Similarly, Suicide Squad plays like a backdoor pilot into a feature-length Harley Quinn film (one which is already rumored to be in the works) for the talented Margot Robbie, whose popularity has been gaining steam ever since her scene-stealing role in The Wolf of Wall Street.

Thanks to her connection not only to the titular Squad but also Jared Leto’s erratic Joker, Harley is very much the female lead of the film and arguably receives the most narrative focus of anyone in its extensive cast. Perhaps Warner Bros. was a bit gunshy about launching a Harley film right away, but expect one soon after this.
