Given the popularity ofMargot Robbie’s performance, Harley Quinn will certainly be sticking around for quite some time. We reported this summer that aHarley Quinn movieis happening at Warner Bros., which may also include the Birds of Prey and Batgirl. We haven’t heard much about that project since the initial report, but there has also been talk ofSuicide Squad 2moving forward at Warner Bros. As for Laura, she revealed on Instagram that since she has been inundated with questions about her costume, she’s considering starting a YouTube channel to answer the fans’ questions. Here’s what she had to say below.
“WowPuddins, I am feeling the love here. I have been asked a lot of questions about my costume, figure, makeup, but want to get the answers out to everyone. I was thinking of starting up some YouTube tutorials and Q&A’s? Please comment if you would be interested!”
She revealed in a recent post that she is in fact starting her own YouTube channel, but we don’t know if it’s up and running yet. We’ll have to wait and see if Laura becomes a regular on the convention circuit with her beloved Harley Quinn costume fromSuicide Squad. As for futureSuicide Squadmovies, we’ll have to wait and see what Warner Bros. has planned for the franchise. Until we find out more about the DCEU, take a look at Laura’s Harley Quinn cosplay photos, along with one of Laura without any of her Harley Quinn makeup on.
