Birds of Prey
Director Cathy Yan want to search the family relationship between Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy inBirds of Prey 2 . Far from being strangers to one another , Harley and Ivy have been teaming up since the former was introduce onBatman : The Animated Seriesin the 1990s . In spite of their contradictory nature , the pair evolve a strong friendly relationship after their first risky venture together and continued to join forces in other DC TV shows and funny books during the years that followed . Finally , in 2015,Harley Quinncomic book writers Amanda Connor and Jimmy Palmiottiofficially made them a romanticistic couple .
Although Poison Ivy has yet to make her debut in the DCEU , it may be only a topic of time before that changes . Margot Robbie , who plays Harley in the DCEU , spent years drive to get aGotham City Sirensmovie off the priming coat after joining the franchise inSuicide Squad , with the intent of receive Harley , Catwoman , and Ivy squad up to agitate bad guys in Gotham . She rifle on to follow that film withBirds of Preyinstead , but has since voice a desire to see a Harley - Ivy adventure on the crowing cover one day . She ’s not the only DCEU old stager to say that , either , with herBirds of Preyhelmsman now echo the call .
relate : Birds of Prey Was n’t expect to cite the DCEU
Speaking toThe Wrapabout a potentialBirds of Prey 2 , Yan said"I would have intercourse to see Poison Ivy and I would sure enough love to see the human relationship between Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy . ”She ’s not ruling a sequel out after the first picture show ’s disappointing box position run either , and went on to narrate the outlet“I think people are n’t ready to let go of Harley Quinn quite yet and you know , Margot I do n’t cerebrate is quick to let go of Harley Quinn yet either . "
Despitefalling short of expectations at the box office , shuttle of Preywasn’t a flat - out bomb and has go on to bring in return thanks toits early on - demand release . Robbie is already correct to return as Harley in James Gunn’sThe Suicide Squadnext year , but there ’s understanding to imagine Warner Bros. wo n’t give up on establish Harley Quinn spinoffs after that . The studio seems to have recognized itsmismanagedBirds of Prey ' marketingand has itself to find fault for not taking full advantage of Robbie ’s bankability as the Harley Quinn character . EitherBirds of Prey 2or a spinoff prominently featuring both " Harley Quinn " and " Poison Ivy " in the title of respect would have a good shot at being more successful , especially as the first motion picture ’s fanbase continue to grown on the dwelling market . It ’s not a sure thing but , as Yan point out , there ’s clearly a demand for more Harley in the DCEU , all the more so when she ’s paired with other Gotham antihero and/or villains .
In the meantime , fans can attend forrard toHarley Quinn and Poison Ivy having a romancein the upcoming second season of DC Universe’sHarley Quinnanimated serial publication . Some people have even start out hold out their suggestion for who should play Ivy in the DCEU , with pop choices includingKnives Outstar Ana de ArmasandGLOW ’s Betty Gilpin ( though they ’re far from the only names being tossed around ) . And again , whetherBirds of Prey 2ever materialise or not , there ’s reason to opine Harley and Ivy have a real shooting at a future together on the big screen .
