Following her breakout performance in [_Suicide Squad_](http://time.com/4430396/suicide-squad-review/ "undefined"), Robbie is gearing up to reprise her role as Quinn in director Cathy Yan’s _Birds of Prey_ movie — a [DC Extended Universe release](http://time.com/5497063/upcoming-dc-movies/ "undefined") that is set to hit theaters on Feb. 7, 2020. Robbie took to Instagram on Monday to reveal her character’s new look for _Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)_. In the photo, Robbie is wearing a customarily eccentric costume that includes a dog tag necklace featuring the name Bruce — an accessory that could foreshadow a _Birds of Prey_ run-in with Bruce Wayne, a.k.a. Batman. “Miss me? HQ,” she captioned the shot. A 19-second clip showcasing Robbie in character as Harley alongside her co-stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Huntress), Jurnee Smollett-Bell (Black Canary), Rosie Perez (Detective Renee Montoya) and Ewan McGregor (Black Mask) was also posted to the YouTube channel CheekySneakyPeeky on Monday. The unofficial teaser is titled “See You Soon.” “I pitched the idea of an R-rated girl gang film including Harley, because I was like, ‘Harley needs friends,’” Robbie told [Collider](http://collider.com/harley-quinn-movie-r-rated-margot-robbie/#cathy-yan "undefined") in May 2018\. “Harley loves interacting with people, so don’t ever make her do a standalone film.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5514524/margot-robbie-harley-quinn-movie/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5514524/margot-robbie-harley-quinn-movie/"},"headline":"Margot Robbie Is Back as Harley Quinn and Looking More Maniacal Than Ever","datePublished":"2019-01-28T17:16:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:57:08.762Z","description":"\"Miss me?\"","url":"https://time.com/5514524/margot-robbie-harley-quinn-movie/","keywords":["movies","Newsfeed","margot robbie"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt765cff59e71b013f/6988a10df887dc6fe8e96f2a/harley-quinn.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt765cff59e71b013f/6988a10df887dc6fe8e96f2a/harley-quinn.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"SUICIDE SQUAD","caption":"SUICIDE SQUAD","creditText":"Warner Bros.","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5514524/margot-robbie-harley-quinn-movie/","name":"Margot Robbie Is Back as Harley Quinn and Looking More Maniacal Than Ever"}}]}] ```
