Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell, stars of the upcoming fantasy romance film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, recently realized that they never discussed their shared history as Gotham City criminals while working together on set. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the two actors reflected on their time filming the movie and the surprising revelation that they had never talked about their previous roles as Harley Quinn and the Penguin.
Robbie and Farrell shared a laugh as they acknowledged that the topic of their DC characters never came up during their conversations on set. Despite spending a lot of time together, they never delved into their past roles as iconic villains from the Batman universe.
During the interview, Robbie revealed that the original script for Birds of Prey featured the Penguin as the villain before director Matt Reeves decided to use the character in his own project. The role was then changed to Black Mask, played by Ewan McGregor, in the final version of the film.
Farrell expressed his surprise at the revelation and eagerly asked Robbie for a copy of the original script to read. Robbie promised to send it to him, sparking excitement about the alternate version of the film that could have featured Farrell as the Penguin.
Robbie first portrayed Harley Quinn in 2016's Suicide Squad and has since reprised the role in Birds of Prey and The Suicide Squad. While her future in the DC universe remains uncertain, James Gunn hinted that her role will be revealed in due time.
Farrell made his debut as the Penguin in The Batman and is set to star in his own spinoff series, The Penguin, on HBO. He will also return alongside Robert Pattinson in The Batman Part II, continuing his portrayal of the ruthless crime boss in the Batman universe.
In conclusion, Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell's shared history as Gotham City criminals was a topic that never came up during the filming of A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. Their roles as Harley Quinn and the Penguin in the DC universe add an interesting layer to their on-screen dynamic, showcasing their versatility as actors in different genres.
