    Margot Robbie is All In to Explore Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy’s Relationship in Live-Action

    Harley Quinn has gone through many iterations throughout the years and became a cornerstone of DC Comics. It’s quite curious if you consider that she wasn’t originally a character introduced as part of the comics but rather the animated series Batman: The Animated Series. Still, she has seen a big surge in popularity when she was brought to live action by the always incredible Margot Robbie.

    In an interview with ComicBook.com’s Jamie Jirak, she got the chance to talk about a story line she always wanted to explore in the live-action DC universe and that is Quinn’s romance with Poison Ivy. While it seems there are no exact plans, she’s definitely excited to give that romance a chance eventually in a project.

    I have been pushing for that for years, I cannot tell you how hard I’ve pushed for that. I honestly when I picture it, I always picture Poison Ivy in the comics, don’t picture an actress doing it.

    The fact she only pictures Poison Ivy from the comics is interesting, but perhaps Jirak‘s question inspired her to explore ideas of who might be perfect int he role. With James Gunn having now taken on this new role as the co-head of DC Studios, perhaps we’ll get a chance to explore this romance sooner rather than later.

  • ‘Birds of Prey’ Spinoff Still in Development as Warner Bros. Discovery reshuffles DC Line-Up

    ‘Birds of Prey’ Spinoff Still in Development as Warner Bros. Discovery reshuffles DC Line-Up

    The future of Warner Bros. remains in shambles, as many have no idea what future DC projects are in some form of development or another. The random cancelation of Batgirl has left many scratching their heads about what exactly it means for many of the projects currently in some form of development or another. Among them was the Birds of Prey spinoff that would focus on Jurnee Smollett‘s Black Canary.

    The project is going to be written by Mischa Green, who has worked with Smollett on other projects in the past. As many DC projects are getting taken down or at least their future in question, there are a lot of questions about how they’ll handle their projects. They are seemingly moving away from HBO Max movie releases, which might mean Black Canary might be a theatrical release.

    Of course, they may turn it into a TV series and find a new home over at HBO. Yet, it’s difficult to say with just how they are going to approach these projects moving forward. There’s also the question if it not having started thee project could give them the pivot to find the fitting home for it moving forward. Here’s hoping the wait isn’t too long for an official update on the project.
