Margot Robbie Will Produce Harley Quinn Spin-Off

Margot Robbie, famous for her role as Harley Quinn in this year's Suicide Squad signed a deal with Warner Bros. into making a Harley Quinn spin-off and other several DC heroines which she will be the executive producer under her LuckyChap Entertainment company.

She will also executive produce an adaptation of Dean N. Jensen's Queen of the Air in which she'll be a star as well.

The first-look deal underlines Warner Bros.’ renewed focus on female-driven storytelling and comes after some notables moves from the Burbank-based studio.

It created the Warner Bros. Emerging Film Directors Workshop earlier this year as a program to increase female voices, among other under-represented sectors. The program was spearheaded by the studio’s president of creative development and worldwide production Greg Silverman.

Warner Bros. has Wonder Woman, based on DC’s iconic female superhero, coming out next year and was firm in its commitment to find a female director for that movie. And it is prepping Ocean’s Ocho, a female-centric take on Ocean’s 11 that will feature an A-list female ensemble.
