Margot Robbie shared a series of images on her social media platforms, providing insights into the character she passionately brings to life on screen.
In her portrayal of Harley Quinn in 'Suicide Squad,' Robbie's character grapples with mental disorders, prompting the actress to immerse herself in the study of schizophrenia. She acknowledged the need to comprehend the intricacies of this condition to authentically convey the challenges her character faces.
Additionally, Robbie disclosed that she delved into the comic source material, reading it multiple times to grasp the complexities of Quinn, describing her as a multifaceted character. The toxic relationship depicted between Harley Quinn and the Joker, portrayed by Jared Leto, underscored the chaotic nature of romance, prompting Robbie to explore the psychological aspects of her character.
One particular scene in 'Suicide Squad,' where the Joker consistently attempts to harm Harley Quinn, motivated Robbie to explore various books and documentaries to develop a comprehensive psychological profile for her character.
For insight into toxic relationships, Robbie turned to 'Fool for Love,' a work by Sam Shepard. She also watched conferences featuring successful women who manage schizophrenia while navigating their professional lives.
Reflecting on the character, Robbie expressed, "Harley has this unpredictable nature that means she could react in any way to any situation, which, for an actor, is a gift."
Directed by Cathy Yan and co-written with Christina Hodson, 'Birds of Prey' features an ensemble cast, including Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jurnee Smollet-Bell, Dana Lee, Derek Wilson, Rosie Perez, Steven Williams, and Ewan McGregor, who portrays the villainous 'Black Mask.'
