DC’s upcoming Suicide Squad film may be centred on a group of villains, but even villains need love. A new report (which includes a quote from the film’s director David Ayer) suggests that Suicide Squad will have a love triangle in the midst of the action.
The report stemmed from comments by Ayer indicating that Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn will be inspired by current takes on the character, including the New 52 comics and Batman Assault on Arkham- an animated film released last year. Both show a Harley Quinn that is not just The Joker’s sidekick.
Ayer is quoted as saying the following:
“It’s about her breaking free of The Joker and becoming this fully actualised, independent person. That really is a metaphor for everyone’s journey here.”
Instead, Harley will be getting close to Will Smith’s Deadshot (just like the New 52 and Assault on Arkham). Smith is quoted as saying the following:
“Harley is the biggest troublemaker, but Deadshot’s actually eyeballing her a little bit. There’s a pretty ragged romantic triangle there.”
Suicide Squad is scheduled to be released on August 5th, 2016.
