Harley Quinn Death Scene Would’ve Been In Justice League 2!
There has been lots of talk about the Justice League since Zack Snyder’s cut released on Friday with rave reviews, so take that Warner Bros. We previously reported on the multiple plot changes in JL.
It was previously reported that Warner Bros. was trying to do everything they could to sabotage the success of Snyder’s Justice League, but it’s all about the fans knowing the material and seeing it come to life correctly.
That was something Joss Whedon failed to do on every level. Read on to get more on Harley Quinn Death Scene…
CelebnMovies247.com reports that director Zack Snyder reveals that Justice League 2 would have included a scene depicting the demise of Harley Quinn.
The Snyder Cut, which premiered Friday, debuted to largely positive reviews, although many critics remained wary of the need for a four-hour runtime. The movie moves quickly and 4-hours flies by.
In the DC universe, former psychiatrist Harley Quinn, infamous for her tortured relationship and eventual estrangement from the Joker, has maintained a strong foothold in comics and spinoff cartoons since the nineties.
However, she made her live-action debut in the 2016 film Suicide Squad, which follows a group of imprisoned supervillains as they execute missions under duress for a secret government agency. Although Jared Leto’s Joker returned for reshoots, Robbie ultimately did not make an appearance in Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
Harley Quinn was referenced in the Knightmare epilogue, with Batman mentioning to the Joker that she died in his arms.
While speaking to Esquire, Snyder shared his original plans for multiple installments of the Justice League, including a sequel that explored the deaths of Aquaman, Harley Quinn, and Lois Lane.
Cyborg witnesses The Tragic Moments:
In Snyder’s cut, Cyborg witnesses a vision of these tragic moments, but that is only if Darkseid succeeds.
Snyder responded:
No, we were going to shoot those. And they would have had elements of what Cyborg sees.
Many fans were surprised by the ending of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, which featured an unexpected cliffhanger.
Snyder himself has already acknowledged that it is unlikely he will have the opportunity to direct sequels or spinoffs of his film
Though, Snyder provided clarification regarding his decision, noting that a cliffhanger is very much a part of the ethos of the genre. As he articulated:
[A] superhero movie doesn’t really have an ending. It has a chapter break, but you never want to close the book a hundred percent.
He found the ending “hopeful and optimistic” because it established “the vision for future movies.”
Margot Robbie on Harley Quinn Suvival:
Ultimately, Harley Quinn will survive to share more of her adventures, even if it’s not in Justice League 2.
Robbie herself has advocated for thoughtful, nuanced storylines following her character, which previously resulted in her standalone feature Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn).
She is also set to reprise her role in The Suicide Squad, as well as possible returns in two more DCEU movies.
Robbie clearly isn’t done with the character just yet, but seeing Harley Quinn’s death in one of Snyder’s Justice League sequels would have made for an interesting scene with Batman.
Unfortunately, it looks like that scene may never see the light of day.
