Margot Robbie has given her seal of approval for Lady Gaga to take on her role of Harley Quinn in the new Joker film.
The Australian actress said she is happy for Lady Gaga to play the role in Joker: Folie a Deux.
She told MTV News : "It makes me so happy because I said from the very beginning that all I want is for Harley Quinn to be one of those characters the way… like Macbeth or Batman always gets passed from great actor to great actor.
"I feel like, in not so many cases, are there female characters — Queen Elizabeth I, but beyond that, which I got to have a crack out as well, which I was honoured to do. I was like, 'Wow! Cate Blanchett did Queen Elizabeth I. Now I get to.'"
Margot played the role of Harley Quinn in both Suicide Squad films, as well as the spinoff Birds of Prey.
However, she is now excited to see the character evolve with Lady Gaga.
Margot said: "It’s such an honour to have built a foundation strong enough that Harley can now be one of those characters that other actors get to have a go at playing. And I think she’ll do something incredible with it."
Joker: Folie a Deux is due to be released in 2024 which will be the first time fans of the franchise will see the supervillain played by Lady Gaga.
However, the plot of the film has been kept a secret so far.
Joaquin Phoenix will be returning to reprise his role as the Joker, after the original feature was released in 2019 to high praise from critics.
This comes after M argot's salary for the upcoming Barbie film was reportedly revealed.
It's thought that that actress is now the highest paid woman in Hollywood.
The 32-year-old who first found fame on Australian soap Neighbours, was reportedly paid a whopping $12.5million (£10.4million), according to Variety.
The next female actor to appear below the Barbie actress is Millie Bobby Brown, who was paid $10million for her role in Enola Holmes 2.
Margot has bagged the lead role and will play the iconic Mattel doll in a live-action movie which is due to be released in cinemas next summer.
Greta Gerwig is directing the production and also wrote the script with her romantic and collaborative partner, filmmaker Noah Baumbach.
Plot details of the film are still under wraps but the synopsis on IMDB says: "A doll living in 'Barbieland' is expelled for not being perfect enough and sets off on an adventure in the real world. A Live-action feature film based on the popular line of Barbie toys."
Ryan Gosling will also be working alongside Margot as he takes on the role of Barbie's love interest Ken.
