The film is about Harley Quinn, the character she first played in Suicide Squad, but instead of focusing on her relationship with the Joker, this movie sees her leaving him behind and working with other women to protect a girl.Robbie said that while she champions female film-makers, she was ultimately looking for the right people to make the movie.
She explained:"It was a big priority for me to always seek opportunities for women because they categorically and historically get fewer opportunities. "However, at the end of the day, the best person for the job should get the job and if the best person that came in was a guy we would have had a guy directing this film, but Cathy [Yan - director] was the best person for this job."
Robbie seemed resigned to a lack of female nominees in the directing categories at this year's BAFTAs and Oscars."I loved a lot of movies this year, I loved movies that were directed by phenomenal female directors as well, but yeah, what can you do?"
Was all the swearing necessary to make your point Charliese Theron?
Suicide Squad was absolute garbage so people of both genders will be less inclined to go see a movie linked with it. The 7th, 4th and arguably the 1st top grossing films of 2019 featured a female lead.
..... then make a good female-led movie then
We have watched them
What am I missing. Some of the biggest 90s movies were female led and 2000s the same. This false history narrative is disingenuous and only hides the fact that modern female led movies are forced and awkward. There is no realism and hence they are not relatable. Fix it !!!
Is there a breeding ground for sexists like this!
Like 'Debbie does Dallas'
I'd watch your movies all day
We do if they’re any good. But if they’re full to the brim with misandrist bullshit, we don’t want to sit through that.
I watched Fleabag and found out all woman are neurotic, sexually frustrated, alcoholics 🤔
Haha as if they called it ‘Birds of Prey’
People go to see movies for the content, not the gender (or agenda in the feminist case)
If she got her tits out
Silly girl won’t be anywhere soon! We are bored of her face!
2/ The same is true for books. Some of my fav books are written by female authors, and have female main characters. It is how good the content is that matters, and whether the subject is of interest to someone or not.
Do what you want to and stop telling others what they should do ! Who the hell do these people think they are!
1/Men have been watching TV and film with female leads for years. They've also been listening to bands with female leads for years too. Some of my fav films/TV series have had females leads. If its has an interesting story, is well written and of a genre I like I'll watch it.
Make one we’re interested in, let’s be honest her new film Birds of Prey looks awful.
What a stupid, unhelpful, insecure comment. People watch films of interest to them.
We do. Terminator, Alien, Tomb Raider, Kill Bill, etc.... Shockingly it's not about the sex of the lead character and whether men can relate to a female lead.. It's just about whether the movie is good or not.
Hollywood really don’t want to see my Snapchat’s. All it says is “ok boys” “go on boys”.
Watched plenty.
Who
We do and have done for years!
Alien Charlie's Angels (2000) Resident Evil She's The Man Happy Death Day Anna and the Apocalypse Salt Juno Bring it On The Hunger Games Pitch Perfect Easy A Pretty much every Disney Princess Movie Men are more than willing to watch Female Led movies if the movies are good.
If they are good and don’t thump the bloody notion that women are second class citizens in the most equal society known to mankind
It’s starts with a few drinks and ends in a fag. That’s relating
Maybe she needs to look back and realise that women have and do lead. But it doesn't actually matter. A good film will shine whoever 'leads'.
Seen the outfits for her film and yes, I'm sure men will find a way to relate. Not sure it will be a way that advances feminism tho.
Im Up for going to watch her movie, looks decent
Guessing people not being to interested in her latest film has brought about this guf? just make a good film who cares if it is a woman or man as long as they can bloody act & it feels real not forced!
It's about the film as a whole. Not what the gender leads the film.
We watch movies to be entertained not to fill up Margot Robbie’s bank balance. If the movie is good people will well come to watch what ever gender the lead character is.

Well then they should stop telling us female lead movies are not for men
Never put me off if it's a female lead if I like a film I'll watch it
Trailer looks shite
I’ve watched Aliens, Underworld, Resident Evil, Momma Mia, Atomic Blonde, Anialation, Electra, Tomb Raider, Woman Woman, Hunger Games, etc. I’ve never cared one bit about the gender of the lead.
Yawn ....
Men do, they watch porn.🤣
Adds 'Margot Robbie' to Who, sorry, Muted Words List.....🤔😀😂
I'll watch whatever film I want to thanks 👍 also, that birds of prey looks so terrible, don't think even females would watch it!
As a successful professional powerful mam, I am sick of seeing the whole 'woman v man' debate. I totally agree that it the sexes are doing the same job then they should get paid the same. However women should embrace difference and be proud to be women/mams/wives x
🤦♂️
She's correct if by relate she means masturbate.
If you’re going to force men to watch movies with female leads then women should be forced to watch porn so they can pleasure a man,just saying lol
The 'Critical Theory' types (from Harvard to Hollywood) hate us - that is fine, they can hate us as much as they like. But now they want our money to watch their movies? No - we will keep our money. After all according to their leftist beliefs private profit is evil.
I don't even understand men.
Not many war and westerns movies with women in the leading role. Lol
Oceans, Ghostbusters and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels female remakes - all useless. You couldn’t remake Thelma and Louise with men either
Guess females can watch Male led movies and find a way to relate as well. And if so why the push for female led movies again?
Sooooo hot!
Tank Girl. Now that was a bag of wank.
yawn.
I don't care whether a movie is male-led or female-led. It just has to be good. I'm not going to watch a crappy movie simply because it's female-led (*cough* Ghostbusters reboot *cough*)
If it ain't by choice ya gotta force the propaganda
Me: Fast asleep in front of TV by 9pm. Robbie: 'Watch female-led movies to relate.....' Me: Asleep by 8pm whilst watching Female-led movie.
? From a hetero man's point of view ahem is that a new word for male fantasies 😳🤪
Yawn
Hugh Grant is a Girl😀😀😀😀
I love badass chicks. Wonder Woman, Sucker Punch, Kickass, Red Sparrow etc are awesome and there is an audience for this genre.
Happy to watch any movie with Margot Robbie - brilliant actor.
If a Film is Good you Watch it😀 I don’t need some female Bimbo telling me what I should Watch‼️
But Captain Marvel herself told us that certain movies aren't made for us 40 something white men. Am I allowed see this one then?
Wonder woman was great and was a success, Ghostbusters remake was an abhorrent monstrosity and a flop. Both female led, 2 different outcomes
She is 🔥 🔥
I'm sure they will
What makes her think men dont? More complete bollocks again! I personally will watch any good film! I dont even think about the leading role wokebollocksagain
Aliens and Terminator 2 are two of my fave movies, from back in a time where having strong female leads wasn't shouted from the rooftops and shoved in our faces. It was just normal. Isn't that what you want?!
I'll choose what I watch, or... if she pays me to watch something.
Looking forward to BirdsofPrey as Ewan McGregor is in it.
But I think they already do
Lol... quality remakes like Ghostbusters and Charlie’s Angels Nah, I’m good.
Can’t force it can you
Charlies Anals?!
I've seen loads of them.
Censored news:
Oceans 8 is a classic...
Just about to save the world.... Gets pregnant and has to chill for 9 months 😂😂😂
Give me a female-led movie to watch and I’ll watch it 🤷🏻♂️
