It all adds up to a smart and satisfying superhero romp that suggests Marvel is nowhere near ready to relinquish its hold on the genre.”Elsewhere, Margot Robbie said last summer that she has no plans to reprise her legendary role as Harley Quinn in the future.The actor played the DC villain in recent James Gunn film The Suicide Squad, having previously portrayed her in 2016’s Suicide Squad and 2020’s Birds Of Prey.
