Speaking about the 'Suicide Squad' spin-off, the 'Bombshell' actress believes her character Harley Quinn defies expectations and social norms in every way.

AceShowbiz - Margot Robbie's new "Suicide Squad" spin-off "Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn" "defies expectations in every way," according to the star.

The Australian actress, 29, reprises her role as Harley Quinn in the forthcoming movie, and she told Fox News it's the stereotypes she breaks that makes the character special.

"I think the mere fact that we eliminated a romantic storyline kind of goes against what we're used to or accustomed to seeing in a film when you have a female protagonist," she said. "I think Harley defies expectations in every way, she defies social norms in every way and that's just part of her (behaviour)."

And the star insisted she's not worried about pushing the boundaries, as it's what audiences want.

"I think people are really responding to something different these days," she explained. "I think any time a movie or TV show is seemingly breaking the mold, people seem to respond extremely positively and I think that will happen in this case."

Robbie went on to suggest "Birds of Prey" is "fresh and different," and unlike any other comic book film to date, adding it was "so fun" to reprise the role she originated in the 2016 film "Suicide Squad".

"Birds of Prey", also starring Jurnee Smollett, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Rosie Perez, is out now.
