According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, a Harley Quinn film is currently being developed by Warner Bros. starring Margot Robbie as the villain. Her character has been the main focus of the Suicide Squad trailers, and seems to be the lead of the film. Now, that's not to say that audiences are not excited to see Jared Leto's interpretation of the Joker, as well as the rest of the cast.

While researching for the role of Harley Quinn, Margot Robbie grew to love many of the female DC characters, which prompted her to bring this idea forward. After bringing on the writer, reportedly a female, it was picked up for development. There's also word that the Harley Quinn centric movie will not be a "solo" film, but will include a number of female DC characters, including Batgirl and the Birds of Prey. Obviously, the studio is not confirming any of these details, and has not said who will be involved behind the camera.

Audiences will get their first look at Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, set for release on August 5th. Joining her will be Jared Leto (The Joker), Will Smith (Deadshot), Cara Delevingne (Enchantress), Jai Courtney (Captain Boomerang), and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Killer Croc). Suicide Squad is directed by David Ayer (End of Watch, Fury).
