When did Margot Robbie start playing Harley Quinn?

Robbie portrayed Harley Quinn in three different movies that came out within a five-year period.

The first time she emerged as Harley Quinn was in the 2016 “Suicide Squad” movie. She reprised her role in 2020 with her own feature film “Birds of Prey.” The newest movie starring Robbie came out in 2021 with James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad.”

In an interview with Fox News, Robbie talked about playing Harley Quinn and how she feels like she has “peaked” in show business.

“I feel like I have peaked and maybe it’s all downhill from here,” she said. “Maybe I’m at the top and it can’t get any better. I hope that’s not the case because I still feel like I have a lot to give and there’s still a lot of directors I want to work with. And, you know, I’m just going to keep climbing as long as I can.”
