Collider reported that Margot has spoken in the past about her plans for the upcoming movie, explaining the desire for seeing a girl gang hit the screen.
"I pitched the idea of an R-rated girl gang film including Harley, because I was like, 'Harley needs friends.' Harley loves interacting with people, so don't ever make her do a standalone film. She's got to be with other people, it should be a girl gang. I wasn't seeing enough girl gangs on screen, especially in the action space. So that was always a big part of it."
Harley Quinn will be up against Black Mask, who has been confirmed as the film's villain.
Are you excited for 2020?
