Sorry Harley Quinn fans, it looks like we won't be seeing the gum-chewing, maniacal bat-wielder in any other DC films anytime soon. Margot Robbie first brought Harley to life in 2016's Suicide Squad [1] and was expected to appear in the sequel [2] directed by James Gunn, formerly of the Guardians of the Galaxy [3] films. A report by Forbes [4] reveals that Harley won't be in the sequel at all, and the Joker and Harley stand-alone movie [5] has also been pushed back.

Of course, Robbie's Harley will be starring [6] in her own Squad spinoff, the rest of the cast from the first film [7].

It's also highly unlikely that Harley Quinn will appear in the long-planned Gotham City Sirens movie. Despite Birds of Prey and Sirens having several characters in common, the two films are completely separate and DC will probably try to avoid any tie-ins as well — which sadly rules out any crossovers between them. It'll be interesting to see where Gunn takes the Squad sequel, though we can't imagine the gang without Harley Quinn. Luckily, we'll be seeing plenty of her fantabulous self when Birds of Prey [8] drops Feb. 7, 2020!
