MARGOT ROBBIE and Suicide Squad director David Ayer DENY that Harley Quinn is too sexy in the new film with Jared Leto and Will Smith.
“She’s wearing hot pants because they’re sparkly and fun,” Robbie says, answering a flood of criticism.
The Aussie beauty absolutely refutes the idea that her character is dressing provocatively.
She doesn't do it because she wants “guys to look at her ass,” she says
It's the latest X-rated drama to hit the film set after Jared Leto revealed that he sent used condoms and anal beads to his fellow cast members.

Apparently, it was the actor's way of remaining in character as The Joker as keeping everyone else off balance.
Ayer similarly explained Harley Quinn's looks as being true to the source material.
“I didn’t think denim overalls would be appropriate for that character,” he simply said.
Fans have been divided over the character's look, with some repeatedly and rather rudely referring to her as 'Whorely' rather than 'Harley' Quinn.
Robbie, herself, has revealed that she is not always comfortable with the overly sexualised look.
“As Margot, no, I don’t like wearing that," she told the New York Times.
"I’m eating burgers at lunchtime, and then you go do a scene where you’re hosed down and soaking wet in a white T-shirt. It’s so clingy and you’re self-conscious about it.”
She also joking teased that if there was a sequel, there would be some changes.
“I’m not wearing hot pants next time,” she said.

Not everyone is so critical of the new look, with many fans happily posting even sexier fan art of the character as well as pictures of themselves dressed up for Cos Play events.
Others have also pointed out that the main star of the film seems to have no problem flashing his flesh in promo pictures.
"Why isn't anyone complaining that Jared Leto's Joker dresses too sexy?" quipped one comic book fan.
"I mean look at those abs."

In the original comics, Harley Quinn is known for being passionately and insanely connected to The Joker and also dresses extremely provocatively.
The new film will explore her tortured (quite literally) relationship with Jared Leto's villain, and early on-set pictures showed Leto kissing and then hitting Robbie.
Suicide Squad also stars Will Smith, Cara Delevingne, Scott Eastwood. and follows on from the events in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.
