Suicide Squad: Margot Robbie says she's more excited than anyone about the movie

If you think you’re excited about Warner Bros. and DC Comics’ Suicide Squad, you haven’t met Margot Robbie.

“I think I’m more excited than anyone about this movie,” the actress told HelloGiggles in an interview. “When people are like, ‘I can’t wait to see it.’ I’m like, ‘You’ve got no idea, I want to see it more than you do!’ I think it’s going to be so cool.”

Robbie, who portrays Joker’s sadistic sidekick, Harley Quinn, said she signed on for Suicide Squad before there was a script and cast. All she needed was to hear director David Ayer was involved. “I just love that there’s a chick character who’s that badass, and who’s actually, like funnier and crazier and stronger than some of the males. I think that rarely happens.”

Harley has donned many different looks throughout the comic books and animated series, and Robbie said she tried them all in developing her character’s costume in Suicide Squad.

“I cannot emphasize enough how many outfits, and how many variations of the Harley Quinn costume we tried,” she continued. “We tried the court jester costume, we tried the corset and skirt, we tried leather pants, we tried literally every type of costume possible for her. I really love where we ended up. And who knows, maybe in the sequels we’ll go with the court jester one. I think there’s a world of possibilities.”

Suicide Squad sees the government assemble a covert team of supervillains to execute a secret mission in exchange for their freedom. The only catch is that they probably won’t walk away from it alive. Robbie joins a cast that includes Will Smith (Deadshot), Jai Courtney (Captain Boomerang), Jared Leto (Joker), Viola Davis (Amanda Waller), and Cara Delevigne (Enchantress).

Suicide Squad will open in theaters on Aug. 5.
