“It’s probably my favourite four minutes of film I’ve ever shot before.”

The Suicide Squad director James Gunn has praised star Margot Robbie, calling one action scene “probably [his] favourite four minutes of film [he’s] ever shot before”.

Robbie is due to reprise her character of Harley Quinn from 2016’s Suicide Squad and standalone movie Birds of Prey in the new DC flick, Gunn admitting that he was left vastly impressed by her huge variety of skills.

“She can do anything,” the director told the Associated Press. “Or I thought she could do anything. And then one day she had to sing and I said, ‘OK, well you can do everything but one thing.’

“But she’s such a great actress. She embodies the character. She’s able to do the comedy. She’s able to do the drama. And physically, she is a pure athlete and is able to do these stunts in such a graceful, magnificent, beautiful way.”

Gunn added: “And so I wrote the biggest action scene I’ve ever done all around (Robbie’s character) Harley, and it was so fun to create just on every level from working with the stunt guys all the way through to working with her.

“It’s probably my favourite four minutes of film I’ve ever shot before.”

High praise indeed.

While we can’t wait to see Harley Quinn in The Suicide Squad, it seems it will be a while until we get another Birds of Prey movie, as Robbie recently gave fans an update on a potential sequel to the 2020 movie.

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