Margot Robbie’s core strength and flexibility were tested when she played Harley Quinn in James Gunn’sThe Suicide Squad. The action-packed movie offered a new perspective to the characters, but also a deeper exploration of the franchise.
Despite the presence of stunt people on the set, Robbie insisted on doing one challenging choreography on her own. She did it successfully, but it seemed like a bit of misfortune followed her that day.
James Gunn Reveals Margot Robbie Did Her Own Stunt InThe Suicide Squad
During an interview viaJimmy Kimmel Live, directorJames Gunnshared the most difficult thing he asked Margot Robbie to do on the set ofThe Suicide Squadwas something he never thought she would be able to pull off.
There’s a scene in which Margot is being hung up by handcuffs over her head, and she has to get her toes along a dead body and pick a key off of the dead body, flip her toes backwards to put the key into the lock over her head, unlock it, and then come down straight.
This sounds really tough to execute but the actress insisted on not using a stunt double for the scene because she could manage it on her own.
She is like a human Swiss army knife who was able to flip herself backwards. It was honestly my favorite day. Torturing Margot was my favorite day on set, and watching this scene with her flipping backwards was just beyond incredible, and I was so happy that it worked, and I was mesmerized by it.
Fans could tell Gunn was so in awe of the actress that he did not notice there was a technical error in the scene that completely put Robbie’s effort to waste.
