One Harley-centric story in which the green goddess has been notably absent from Quinn’s orbit is the DC Extended Universe. As we inch closer to the release of The Suicide Squad, the third feature film in which Margot Robbie has played Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy’s absence continues. As part of our The Suicide Squad cover story for our latest Den of Geek magazine, we had a chance to ask Robbie about when we might see Harley’s BFF and/or true love make an appearance in this corner of the DC universe. “Trust me, I chew their ear off about it all the time,” says Robbie, when asked if there has been any discussion of bringing Poison Ivy to the DCEU. “They must be sick of hearing it, but I’m like, ‘Poison Ivy, Poison Ivy. Come on, let’s do it.’ I’m very keen to see a Harley-Poison Ivy relationship on screen. It’d be so fun. So I’ll keep pestering them. Don’t worry.” Previously, Robbie had discussed wanting to see the Harley-Poison Ivy relationship come to the DCEU with PrideSource, saying: “If you read the comics you know that Poison Ivy and Harley have an intimate relationship. In some comics they convey it as a friendship; in other comics you can see that they’re actually sexually involved as a couple. I’ve been trying to—I would love to have Poison Ivy thrown into the universe, because the Harley and Poison Ivy relationship is one of my favorite aspects of the comics, so I’m looking to explore that on screen.” Would you like to see Poison Ivy in the DCEU?
