“I don’t know if that is on the horizon anytime soon.”

Birds of Prey star Margot Robbie has given fans a disappointing update on a potential sequel, admitting it won’t be happening anytime soon.

The Harley Quinn-centric movie was critically well-received when it was released last year and it took in over $200 million at the box office too.

However, speaking in a new interview, Robbie admitted that there is sadly nothing in the pipeline when it comes to a follow-up as things currently stand.

“I don’t know if that is on the horizon anytime soon,” she told Den of Geek.

Yet, her words weren’t entirely without hope, the star adding: “I don’t think it’s a no. But no, there’s no sequel in the works that I’m aware of at this stage.”

One star that would clearly be on board for a sequel is Jurnee Smollett, who played Black Canary in the original.

Speaking last year, the actress told Entertainment Weekly: “It’s no secret how much I loved playing Black Canary, and [I was] so honoured to take on that mantle. I would absolutely do it again if given a chance.”

While it may be a while until we see Harley Quinn again in a Birds of Prey setting, fans will at least be able to reunite with the DC fave in The Suicide Squad, which is due out this summer.

Speaking recently about how her character is different this time around, Robbie explained to Total Film: “[In terms of] how she’s changed, it’s just always interesting to explore what characteristics different directors gravitate towards from the character.

“The common denominator is the source material, which is what I always built the character off anyway. Then she evolves in different ways under different people’s direction.”
