While we wait for that footage to surface,Suicide SquadstarMargot Robbieoffered some new details about her Harley Quinn character, in an interview with Cineplex.
“Harleyis creepy, violent, crazy - all of the things that I aspire to be! No. It’s the fun of living vicariously through someone who is doing things that I would never do in real life.”

The project also reunites the actress with herFocusco-starWill Smith. Here’s what she had to say about how excited she was upon learning thatWill Smithwas in talks to playDeadshot.
“I enjoyed working with Will so, so much that I was overjoyed when I heard that we would be working together again. I actually texted him when I heard he was in negotiations to be in Suicide Squad and kept peer-pressuring him, ‘You’d better be taking this movie!’ He obviously signed on for his own reasons, but I was so incredibly happy that we got to do Round Two. He’s awesome on set and awesome off set. He’s just a really, really good person.”
