Warner and David Yates’ The Legend of Tarzan is one of two summer blockbusters to feature Aussie actress Margot Robbie in a prominent role, though the second tees up a part that is about as far removed from Jane Porter as one can imagine.
That is, of course, Harley Quinn, the iconic DC nutjob who stands as part of David Ayer’s starry ensemble for Suicide Squad. Throughout production, Robbie has revelled in the darker tenets of the Clown Princess of Crime – an alter-ego brought to the fore by The Joker himself. To say that the twosome enjoy a dysfunctional relationship may read as a colossal understatement, but that’s something that Margot Robbie touches base on in the latest issue of Vanity Fair.
Describing her Harley Quinn as an agent of chaos, the actress reveals that her twisted on-screen persona “loves causing mayhem and destruction. She’s incredibly devoted to the Joker. They have a dysfunctional relationship, but she loves him anyway. She used to be a gymnast — that’s her skill set when fighting.”
Beyond Robbie and Leto, Task Force X encompasses Will Smith, House of Cards star Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney, Cara Delevingne, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Viola Davis and Ben Affleck, who holds a small cameo role as the Caped Crusader.
The countdown is officially on; Suicide Squad is little under a month from its long-awaited theatrical release, and you can have a gander at the latest Harley Quinn-themed one-sheet, below.
