The Suicide Squad Another Song Almost Played In Key Harley Quinn Scene

The Suicide Squad has been in theaters and on HBO Max for nearly a month now, and fans are still relishing in its irreverent take on the DC Comics mythos. One of the standout elements of the film is Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) who reprises her role from 2016’s Suicide Squad and 2020’s Birds of Prey with epic fanfare. This includes a solo fight sequence that occurs midway through the film, which sees Harley getting the upper hand on her captors in the Corto Maltese government. The scene unfolds to Louis Prima’s “Just A Gigalo/I Ain’t Got Nobody” — but according to writer-director James Gunn, it was almost set to a completely different song. During a recent virtual watch party for The Suicide Squad, Gunn tweeted that he considered using Queen’s “Death on Two Legs” for the sequence, but settled on the final song as soon as he’d thought of it.

I considered Queen’s “Death on Two Legs” but once I thought of “Just a Gigolo” I knew it was the right choice. #TSSWatchParty https://t.co/1doa650SFS
