If you were one of those Joker x Harley Quinn shippers, you’re in for a treat – DC’s gruesome twosome are returning to the big screen.
The Hollywood Reporter said that Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, directors and executive producers of NBC’s This Is Us and co-writers of the 2011 film Crazy, Stupid, Love, are in final negotiations to pen and helm a movie about Batman villains Joker and Harley Quinn for Warner Bros. Pictures.
The report also said that Jared Leto and Margot Robbie, who played the characters in Suicide Squad, will reprise their roles in the new project, which will be made after an official sequel to the film.
The Joker-Harley Quinn film is described as a “criminal love story,” a source told The Hollywood Reporter. The news comes a day after it was reported that Warner Bros. and DC are in the early stages of making a movie about the origin story of the Joker, not starring Leto.
The new film will be set in the ’80s and will be directed and co-written by Todd Phillips of The Hangover and co-produced by the one and only Martin Scorsese.
