The phenomenon known as the Barbenheimer has captivated the world, placing the stars of these films in the spotlight. Among them are Margot Robbie and Cillian Murphy, who have garnered attention for their roles as the main characters in Barbie and Oppenheimer respectively. While Robbie has gained iconic status for her portrayal of the deranged Harley Quinn in the now defunct DCEU, she has now passed the baton to Lady Gaga, who will take on the role in the upcoming film Joker: Folie à Deux.

When asked if Robbie and Gaga have discussed the role, Robbie revealed that they have not. She explained that she wants to be surprised by Gaga's interpretation of the character, saying she wants to see what Gaga brings to the table.

Legacy roles are often passed down in the film industry, and Robbie sees Harley Quinn as one such role. However, Lady Gaga has yet to seek guidance from Robbie on how to approach the character. Despite popular belief, the two actresses have not communicated about the role.

Robbie offered an explanation for this lack of communication. During an appearance at The Golden Globe Awards, Robbie stated that she believes Gaga will do an amazing job and she wants to save the surprise for when she sees the movie.

As for Robbie's own career, she has taken a break from acting. After finishing up work on Barbie, she has not been on any sets as an actor. Robbie acknowledged that people may be tired of seeing her on screen and she believes it's best to disappear for a while. She hopes to have some time before her next project.

In the meantime, Robbie has taken on producing roles in various projects. She is keeping herself busy in the industry, which may explain her current break from acting.

Joker: Folie à Deux is set to be released on October 8th, 2024.
