Actress
Margot Robbie is executive producing a
Suicide Squad spin-off starring her character Harley Quinn as part of a production deal with Warner Bros.
The Wolf of Wall Street star has signed a first-look deal with the studio, meaning Warner executives get first refusal on projects produced and developed by
Robbie under her LuckyChap Entertainment banner, which she runs with her boyfriend Tom Ackerley. The couple met in 2013, when Ackerley was an assistant director on the set of the World War II drama
Suite Française. Friends Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr are also involved.
Robbie has already worked with the studio on a few titles, including
Focus,
The Legend of Tarzan, and 2016 box office smash
Suicide Squad, in which she played the sometimes villainous Harley Quinn. The character is due to star in her own spin-off movie alongside other heroines from the DC Comics and
Robbie will executive produce the project.
She also has an adaptation of Dean N. Jensen book
Queen of the Air: A True Story of Love and Tragedy at the Circus, about a renowned trapeze artist, in the works with the studio, which she is attached to star in.
The LuckyChap Entertainment team have already finished shooting thriller
Terminal and are currently developing a biopic about disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding and an adaptation of Matt Ruff’s novel
Bad Monkeys.
