It Stars Margot Robbie & Jared Leto
Margot Robbie and Jared Leto are not done with the DCEU, not by a mile. The pair debuted in the franchise last year with Suicide Squad, but the film's mixed reception has not squashed the pair's chances of reprising their respective characters.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Robbie and Leto will star in the new Harley Quinn & Joker feature.
"Insiders say that the plan is for this feature to go after the studio makes a sequel to Suicide Squad," Borys Kit writes. "The Joker and Harley Quinn movie is also moving fast as Warners has to contend with actors' holding agreements, say sources."
It's A Love Story
The Harley Quinn & Joker spin-of is still in development, but it seems like the film has a direction it's heading in. The Hollywood Reporter writes that the film is being coined as a "criminal love story" featuring two psychotic murderers.
It's Set In The DCEU
DC Films is preparing to straddle its film slate between two different universes, but its newly announced movie will kick it old-school. Rather than act as a standalone, the Harley Quinn & Joker film will be set within the DCEU timeline.
"The project falls within Warners' main line of movies based on their DC properties," Kit writes. "That includes the current pics released and in production that feature Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, among other characters who collectively form the Justice League."
