DC Now Has 4 Harley Quinn Projects In 2024 & None Of Them Are Margot Robbie (2024)

Margot Robbie still has no confirmed project to return as Harley Quinn, even though the character will come back with four upcoming DC entries in 2024, raising concerns. While the DCEU proved itself controversial over the years, Robbie's Harley Quinn was one of the few positive aspects of the franchise that remained consistent. The actress was the best part of 2016's Suicide Squad, which led to her leading DC's Birds of Prey movie and even working with James Gunn, who is charting all DC Universe projects, in 2021's The Suicide Squad.

Despite being the DCEU's most popular star, Robbie still has to be announced as the Harley Quinn of the DCU. That raises some concern, as Gunn has already revealed that Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, John Cena as Peacemaker, and more DCEU stars will be returning in the DCU as their characters, though there is no word on Robbie's Harley Quinn. While Robbie's Harley Quinn future hangs in the balance, the character will have a packed 2024, as different versions of Harley will appear in an upcoming DC film and multiple TV shows.

There Are 4 Harley Quinns Coming This Year

Harley Quinn is set to have a huge 2024, with the character appearing in three animated series and a movie. The year will see a version of Harley that is similar to Robbie's in a lot of ways and three other iterations that try new things with the character. First up is Suicide Squad Isekai, which will be released on June 27. The anime follows Harley Quinn and other members of the Suicide Squad being sent to a fantasy land with magical creatures. Then comes Batman: Caped Crusader on August 1. In the series, an Asian American Harley flips the script.

This iteration will see Harleen Quinzel be the funny, whimsical side of the character, with Harley Quinn being someone to be feared. On October 4 comes the biggest Harley Quinn release of the year, as Lady Gaga will debut her version of the character — called Lee — opposite Joaquin Phoenix in Joker: Folie à Deux. As the first superhero movie musical, the Joker sequel and its take on Harley Quinn draw a lot of attention. Finally, Harley Quinn season 5 will arrive sometime in 2025, taking Harley and Poison Ivy from Gotham City to Metropolis.

There have been a few developments regarding Robbie's possible return as Harley. First, Gunn debunked a Harley Quinn solo series rumor, with the DCU chief revealing that the rumored "Harleen" prequel series was a lie. Last January, Gunn shared a positive comment about Robbie's future as Harley Quinn. While the director revealed that he had not talked to the actress about Harley in a long time, Gunn said that he would love to work with Margot Robbie again as Harley Quinn or another DCU character. With no plans for someone else to play Harley Quinn, Robbie could join the DCU.
