Suicide Squad is a superhero film from DC that, despite not receiving overwhelming praise from critics, has left a significant impact on fans. A large part of the film’s success is attributed to Margot Robbie’s outstanding performance as Harley Quinn, a beautiful and unpredictable character, who is the beloved partner of the Joker.
Harley Quinn is the most successful character in Suicide Squad
Reviews regarding Margot Robbie’s performance in the film have led fans to applaud her portrayal of Harley Quinn, with many praising her sexy and captivating appearance that aligns perfectly with the expectations of viewers. To embody such a character, Margot Robbie conducted extensive research to create a visually appealing version of Harley Quinn that would captivate audiences.
To achieve this sexy image, she had to sacrifice a lot, wearing sexy outfits that she didn’t really want.
However, in a recent interview with the New York Times, Margot Robbie disclosed that although she portrayed a striking character, she faced many challenges while embodying Harley Quinn. One of the most significant difficulties was the clothing, which was too short and… sexy.
“As for myself… I don’t really like wearing outfits that are too short. You might think about eating a burger for lunch and then immediately having to film a scene where you’re drenched in water with a short crop top; you’d understand the predicament.”
According to Harley Quinn’s character description, wearing such short clothing made her feel extremely uncomfortable while filming. The lack of proper coverage made the situation even more challenging, leading her to express her distaste for the sexy image that she had to portray.
Nonetheless, to maintain the sexy persona, embodying the essence of Harley Quinn, she still had to wear those extremely short outfits, including a cropped white top and leather shorts.
Wearing such short outfits made her feel cold and uncomfortable, feeling like she was being punished…
Once, Margot Robbie shared with the film’s director, David Ayer, that she wanted to change Harley Quinn’s outfit, but her opinion was immediately dismissed. He believed that she wanted Harley Quinn to wear a skirt, a fitted top, which obviously was not suitable for a character as rebellious as Harley Quinn.
Thus, it can be seen that while fans love to cosplay as Harley Quinn, wearing short, sexy outfits like this actress, Margot Robbie has had her own challenging experiences in such revealing costumes.
It’s worth noting that the actors had to sacrifice a lot for us to enjoy a superhero film like Suicide Squad.
