Overview

  • Gunn told Entertainment Weekly that Robbie’s possible return “will be revealed down the line,” reflecting an intentional noncommittal stance on Harley Quinn in the new DCU.
  • He confirmed he is “always looking for a place to put Bloodsport,” signaling a clear interest in reintegrating Idris Elba’s character.
  • Peacemaker Season 2, debuting Aug. 21 on HBO Max, is positioned as a key narrative portal for bringing legacy characters from The Suicide Squad into the new continuity.
  • Under Gunn and co-head Peter Safran, DC Studios is making selective carryovers of past characters on a case-by-case basis as it rebuilds its interconnected universe.
  • With Joker and Batman still uncast and Robbie previously expressing openness to passing on Harley, the studio retains strategic flexibility before confirming any casting decisions.
