'Suicide Squad' Movie News: Margot Robbie's Portrayal of Harley Quinn Can Make the Character a Pop Icon
Apart from the action-packed entertainment that "Suicide Squad" promises via its trailers, the convincing portrayal of the actors of the characters in the movie is one factor that more and more people are being baited into the desire to see it. While it is true that many people are waiting to be further impressed with Jared Leto's take on his the Joker character, it can't also be denied that there are those who look forward to see more of Margot Robbie's take on her Harley Quinn character.
Notably, the latest trailer of "Suicide Squad" highlights more of Robbie's Harley Quinn scenes in the upcoming movie, many of which feature her comic and witty one-liners. According to Washington Post, with Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn may just become a pop-icon symbol, too, thanks to how Robbie breathes life to her.
Washington Post further noted that there has never been a live-action Harley Quinn in the movies, and Batman fans are keeping an eye on Robbie's portrayal of the role based on her incarnation in various Batman animated features. However, basing on the trailer alone, it can be said that Robbie's take on the role makes it distinct from what the fans are familiar with as her Harley Quinn promises lots of laughter and humor.
