A Harley Quinn spinoff movie starring Margot Robbie is in the works

The L.A. Times can confirm that a “Suicide Squad” spinoff film is currently in the works featuring Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn.

Originally reported by the Hollywood Reporter, the project is not said to be a stand-alone feature for Quinn, but rather another ensemble film that focuses on some of the many woman heroes and villains of the DC universe.

Few details are known about the project, but DC hosts a wealth of female characters to choose from, including Batgirl and Poison Ivy, in addition to Quinn.

Early reports also assert that the film already has a female screenwriter attached, though her identity has not yet been revealed.

“Suicide Squad” stars Margot Robbie as Quinn, as well as Jared Leto as the Joker, Will Smith as Deadshot and Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, all part of a ragtag bunch of superpowered jailbirds set free under the condition that they do the government’s very dangerous dirty work first, hence the name.

The film opens Aug. 5.
