"It makes me so happy because I said from the very beginning that all I want is for Harley Quinn to be one of those characters the way...like Macbeth or Batman always gets passed from great actor to great actor," Robbie told MTV News in a video interview. "Someone gets to do their Batman, or someone gets to do their Macbeth."

Robbie continued, "I feel like, in not so many cases, are there female characters - Queen Elizabeth I, but beyond that, which I got to have a crack out as well, which I was honored to do. I was like, 'Wow! Cate Blanchett did Queen Elizabeth I. Now I get to.' It's such an honor to have built a foundation strong enough that Harley can now be one of those characters that other actors get to have a go at playing. And I think she'll do something incredible with it."

According to Variety, in Joker: Folie a Deux, returning star Zazie Beetz will be joined by newcomers Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, and Jacob Lofland. They will all be starring opposite Gaga and Phoenix.

Warner Bros.' Joker: Folie a Deux will premiere on October 4, 2024.
