Kevin Smith's Daughter Harley Quinn Met Margot Robbie: What Happened
Kevin Smith recalls the meeting his daughter, Harley Quinn Smith, had with Harley Quinn actor Margot Robbie. Robbie has played Quinn over three films for the DCEU, including two Suicide Squad movies and as the lead of the character's solo project, Birds of Prey. A fourth DC movie, Gotham City Sirens, has reportedly been in the works since 2016 and may feature Quinn's character, but the recent DC Comic-Con 2022 panel offered no updates on whether any progress has been made on making the movie a reality.
Smith is one of Hollywood's foremost fanboys and an avowed lover of comic books, especially DC comics. It is a subject he has expounded on at length in one of his many podcasts, like SModcast and Fat Man Beyond. Smith has often incorporated this love of comics into his films, evidenced by the superhero conversation in Mallrats, the fact that all the main characters in Chasing Amy are comic book artists, and that his Jay and Silent Bob characters have superhero alter-egos called Bluntman and Chronic. Smith also owns his own comic book shop in New Jersey called Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, and is the process of bringing his View Askewniverse characters to print in an anthology comic book series for Dark Horse. If that weren't enough, the filmmaker also named his own daughter after the iconic DC villain Harley Quinn.
