Margot Robbie, the DCU's Harley Quinn, reacts to James Gunn's new position as the co-head of DC Studios, offering plenty of enthusiasm: 'I think that's such a get for DC.'
Harley Quinn actor Margot Robbie reveals her thoughts on James Gunn leading the DC Universe. In creating its DC Extended Universe, Warner Bros. has made a number of divisive decisions. The franchise has seen multiple creative overhauls over the years, and the latest has arrived following the Warner Bros. Discovery merger.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The decision to have Gunn and Safran running DC has been met with positive praise by everyone, including Marvel's Kevin Feige, but no one is happier than Robbie. In an interview with ComicBook.com while promoting her upcoming film Babylon, the actor shares her reaction to Gunn, her The Suicide Squad director, taking over DC Studios. Read her full quote below:
I know it's crazy, and Peter Safran, so he was also the producer on The Suicide Squad, so I know them both really well and they're a dynamic duo. I think that's such a get for DC.Why James Gunn Has So Much Support At DC Over the years, Gunn has built up an impressive filmography filled with acclaimed projects. From his Guardians of the Galaxy movies over at Marvel Studios to The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker with DC, Gunn has cemented himself as a passionate and creative filmmaker.
Gunn has gained a large following, in part due to his writing and directing skills, his off-beat tastes, and his smart and witty personality. While The Suicide Squad failed to make a big splash at the box office, partially due to COVID and HBO Max's distribution plans, the film garnered enough attention for audiences to take notice of the potential that DC could have if the franchise followed a looser, yet refined formula and not a dark and gritty approach that Zack Snyder had set up.
The fact that Robbie trusts Gunn and Safran to do justice to the DC Universe is a good sign. When Walter Hamada led the company, there was a lack of cohesion among the properties as well as infighting from the filmmakers and actors who were either mistreated or ignored. Being a couple of creatives, Gunn and Safran have the potential to turn DC Studios around and make it the successful film studio that it was meant to be, standing side-by-side with Marvel Studios.
