Joker and Harley Quinn Movie In The Works? Count Us In!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jared Leto and Margot Robbie are due to reprise their roles as the famous DC Comics villains, which were arguably the best highlights of the 2016 Suicide Squad movie. Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, directors and executive producers of the hit NBC drama This Is Us and Crazy, Stupid, Love fame, are in final negotiations to write and helm a film centering on the infamous Batman villains Joker and Harley Quinn.

Insiders say that the plan is for this feature to go after the studio makes a sequel to Suicide Squad. The latter is on the development fast-track and out to directors.

The film is described as a “criminal love story,” according to one source, featuring the two murdering maniacs who are cornerstones in the Batman mythos. One insider offered this: “an insane and twisted love story. When Harry Met Sally on benzedrine.”

This comes on the heels of other Joker news this week as The Hollywood Reporter also reported on a Joker solo movie that is being developed as a potential directing role for The Hangover filmmaker, Todd Phillips. It is intended to star an actor other than Leto though, so who that might be is still a mystery. In other news, DC’s movies business just needs to focus more on Wonder Woman. Yes, please.
