Actress Margot Robbie said she’s keen on playing Harley Quinn and exploring her romance with Poison Ivy for the first time on the big screen. 

The 32-year-old native Australian, who has played the role of Quinn in several projects, made the comments during a recent interview with ComicBook.com while promoting her new movie, “Babylon.” When asked about bringing the romance between the two characters front and center in a potential film version, Robbie said she’s not just open to it, she’s also been asking for it.

“I have been pushing for that for years. I cannot tell you how hard I’ve been pushing for that. I want it too,” the actress said of a future project with their lesbian romance front and center. 

When asked who should play Poison Ivy opposite her, she said, “Honestly, when I pictured, I always picture like Poison Ivy in the comics. I don’t really actually picture an actress doing it, but I agree, that would be so good.”

The romance between these two DC Comics characters won’t be new, but so far, it hasn’t been included in any film adaptations. A 2020 episode of the adult animated TV series “Harley Quinn” featured the first kiss between Harley and Poison Ivy. Some fans started calling the couple “Harlivy” after the reality of their romantic feelings became clear.

Series co-creator Justin Halpern explained to ComicBook.com, “We tried to play the reality of how messy, uncomfortable, and awkward it would be to figure out that you’re in love with your best friend. It’s messy, it takes a while, and it’s not smooth at all. And there are definitely a lot of two steps forward, one step back kind of thing going on.” 

For now, it’s unclear if Robbie will reprise her role as Harley Quinn in the future. Next up to take on the character is Lady Gaga opposite Joaquin Phoenix in “Joker: Folie A Deux,” which is scheduled to be released in October 2024. The publication notes that since “Joker” is not set in the same cosmos as the DC Extended Universe, it means Lady Gaga isn’t technically replacing Robbie.

Robbie said she’s excited to see the “Bad Romance” singer interpret the character.

“It makes me so happy because I said from the very beginning that all I want is for Harley Quinn to be one of those characters, the way Macbeth or Batman, always gets passed from great actor to great actor,” Robbie told MTV News. 

“… It’s such an honor to have built a foundation strong enough that Harley can now be one of those characters that other actors get to have a go at playing. And I think [Lady Gaga will] do something incredible with it.”

Twitter CEO Elon Musk expressed his gratitude for companies that resumed advertisements on the platform despite a pressure campaign from leftist activist groups.

Several organizations endorsed a letter to the executives of major Twitter advertisers claiming that “extremists” see Musk’s takeover of the social media platform as “a new opportunity to post the most abusive, harassing, and racist language and imagery,” including “clear threats of violence against people with whom they disagree.” As many as 50 of the largest 100 advertisers “either announced or seemingly stopped” their ads, according to a subsequent report from left-wing Media Matters, one of the groups that endorsed the letter.

Some of the companies, however, are now returning to the platform. Musk said during a public Twitter Spaces meeting that Apple has “fully resumed” advertising. Amazon, which had paused some ads, will now increase overall advertisement spending to $100 million per year, according to Zoe Schiffer, the managing editor of technology outlet Platformer.

“Just a note to thank advertisers for returning to Twitter,” Musk said on Saturday.

Advertisers in the United States that book more than $500,000 in incremental campaigns are now eligible to have their spending matched with a “100% value add” up to a $1 million cap, the largest incentive in the history of Twitter, according to a report from Reuters. Advertisement sales presently account for 90% of revenue, although Musk is attempting to pivot toward a subscription-driven revenue model.

Musk also said that his newest company suffered due to some advertisers’ actions. “Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists,” he claimed last month. “Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.”

Other leftist-aligned organizations which signed the letter include the NAACP, the National Center for Transgender Equality, and the Union of Concerned Scientists. The groups encouraged companies to “cease all advertising” if Musk backed down from content moderation.

The world’s richest man, who told the public that he acquired Twitter to promote free expression, informed advertisers that he desires to foster “a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence.” He vowed, however, that the social media platform would not become a “free-for-all hellscape” where users could breach the law with impunity. Musk recently suspended Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, after the rapper praised Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler during an interview with Alex Jones.

A series of slides provided by Musk to investors and the public indicated that the daily inflow of new users at Twitter had reached two million, while “user active minutes per day” likewise reached eight billion. The company now has more than 250 million monetizable daily active users, Musk said. All three statistics surpass previous company records.

Musk has commented that media coverage of the Twitter acquisition and his subsequent attempts to reform the company, including negative reports from legacy media outlets, has contributed to engagement reaching new heights. The entrepreneur said his current number-one priority is the removal of child exploitation content, which previous management failed to accomplish. Several advertisers paused campaigns on the platform two months ago after a report showed that such material appeared alongside major profiles.
