Sydney Sweeney Suits Up As Harley Quinn To Replace Margot Robbie In New DC Universe Art

by

As a movie fan, I’m really excited by the fan art imagining Sydney Sweeney as Harley Quinn! Margot Robbie totally owned the role in the previous DC films – even though the first Suicide Squad was a bit controversial, everyone loved her version of Harley. She quickly became the most popular character in that whole universe, and I’m curious to see what Sydney would bring to the role if she got the chance.

James Gunn’s new DC Universe hasn’t featured Harley Quinn yet, and it’s unclear if the version of the character played by Margot Robbie is even part of this new continuity. Since the DCU hasn’t started exploring Gotham City – which the upcoming Clayface project will – and has already recast Superman, Robbie’s Harley Quinn could be replaced with a new actress. Anya Sweeney is a popular choice among fans to take on the role.

A Facebook user named Long Live The Bat posted a depiction of what Sydney Sweeney might look like as Harley Quinn in the DC Universe.

The artwork depicts the actress in a Harley Quinn costume that updates her traditional jester outfit from the comics and Batman: The Animated Series, while still keeping her signature red and black colors. Margot Robbie wore a similar version of the suit for a short time in the DC Extended Universe.

Could Sydney Sweeney Replace Margot Robbie As Harley Quinn In The DCU?

Margot Robbie’s portrayal of Harley Quinn is incredibly popular, so replacing her would be a surprising decision. Although James Gunn doesn’t currently have plans for the character, he previously worked with Robbie on The Suicide Squad. Considering he brought back actors from Peacemaker for roles in the new DC Universe, Robbie’s Harley Quinn could easily continue as part of the franchise.

Okay, so everyone’s been wondering about Harley Quinn and whether Margot Robbie will be back for more DC movies. James Gunn said we’ll find out eventually, but it’s complicated! Margot herself has hinted at both wanting to revisit the role and also believing Harley is a character that should be played by different actresses at some point. It sounds like she’s open to the idea of someone else taking over, which is pretty cool, honestly.

With Margot Robbie potentially stepping away from the role, 28-year-old Sydney Sweeney is a strong contender to become the next Harley Quinn, possibly for the next ten years. Having already appeared in the superhero film Madame Web, and with Sony’s Spider-Man Universe winding down, Sweeney is now available to join the DC Universe. She’s become a fan favorite for several DC roles.

Why Sydney Sweeney Would Be Great For The DCU Harley Quinn

Sydney Sweeney is currently one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood. She’s become incredibly popular after gaining recognition for her role as Cassie Howard in the HBO series Euphoria. That role demonstrated her ability to portray complex characters, leading many to believe she’d be a perfect fit for Harley Quinn – a famously energetic and unique character from DC Comics. A Sweeney-led Harley Quinn would undoubtedly be captivating.

Cassie’s unpredictable personality seems to complement Harley Quinn’s. Sydney Sweeney has also proven in films like Anyone but You that she has a captivating on-screen presence. While following Margot Robbie’s iconic portrayal of Harley Quinn would be a challenge, Sydney Sweeney could be a fun and engaging choice to play the character if James Gunn decides to find a new actress for the role in the DC Universe.
