And, you know, you see her going through all these various stages of grief in our breakup montage, you know, everything from bloodying noses during a roller derby (laughter) to taking. YAN: Absolutely, and the sort of trials and tribulations of that because it's not easy.
WHO PLAYS HARLEY QUINN IN BIRDS OF PREY MOVIE
And no one gives two (expletive) who we are beyond that.ĬHANG: The movie that you directed is about Harley Quinn becoming her own master, I feel. ROBBIE: (As Harley Quinn) You know what a harlequin is? A harlequin's role is to serve. Like, there's this scene in the film where Harley's sitting at a bar, and she's feeling, like, just gutted after her breakup with the Joker.
It's a movie about identity and about all of these women finding themselves, finding their strength.ĬHANG: Totally. And I think that great existential question is sort of the question of the movie. YAN: Well, I think because she has to figure out who she is when she's alone, when she's no longer the girlfriend. And on the other side, she is, you know, this angry mallet-wielding superhero.ĬHANG: And when I talked to Cathy Yan, I wanted to know, how did she take Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbie, from the Joker's hot, crazy girlfriend to the empowered woman at the heart of this movie? She's the first Asian American woman to direct a major Hollywood superhero movie, and she talked with my co-host Ailsa Chang.ĪILSA CHANG, BYLINE: Yan says she was drawn to Harley Quinn's story because she's a complicated female character.ĬATHY YAN: She has these two conflicting sides of her.

KELLY: Very powerful, very rich and very angry people. J, I'm about to learn a lot of people want me dead. ROBBIE: (As Harley Quinn) Now that I've cut ties with Mr. KELLY: That giant explosion tells the world that Joker and Harley Quinn have broken up. MARGOT ROBBIE: (As Harley Quinn) It was completely mutual. (SOUNDBITE OF FILM, "BIRDS OF PREY: AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN")
