Margot Robbie Fans Can’t Unsee These Harley Quinn Similarities

In addition to the fact that they’re both played by Margot Robbie, they emote similarly, and are shot in similar ways during their films, Barbie and Harley Quinn have some shared traits. They’re both strong, independent women who come to recognize that inequality and mistreatment based on gender in society are problems worth addressing. Outside of all of that, though, their personalities don’t overlap a whole lot, but despite that fact, could the two come together and actually become besties? Or would their vast differences ensure they don’t mesh?

According to Margot Robbie, Barbie and Harley’s hypothetical friendship is a complicated one, to say the least. «Kind of all of the above. I feel like it’d be a real rollercoaster being friends with Harley, so who knows? I think Barbie would be a really good friend to Harley. I don’t know if Harley would reciprocate it,» the actor explained during a chat with Entertainment Tonight after being asked if they would be friends, enemies, or best friends. At this point, Robbie is something of an authority on Barbie and Harley alike, so her assessment certainly has some merit.

Maybe someday we’ll see Barbie and Harley Quinn team up at the movies in some wild crossover, or clean up Gotham City’s streets on the pages of DC Comics.
