Harley Quinn: The James Gunn MCU Joke That Had to Be Cut from Season 3

So why would that have to get cut and how would it set up the MCU as a problem Harley Quinn would have needed to solve? “[Clayface] says ‘James Gunn, sit on me!’ And James Gunn sits and Clayface starts vibrating and James Gunn says, ‘It’s like Thanos snapped and I can feel my anus again.’ And then Clayface is like ‘Who’s Thanos?’ and then we’re out,” he laughs. 

The gag certainly fits in with Harley Quinn’s cheeky humor and would have gotten fans talking, but eventually the crew realized it was too much to take on. “We were like, ‘This breaks the world, we don’t want to acknowledge that there’s an MCU in the DCU.’”

So there we have it, the James Gunn x Harley Quinn ThAnus joke that could have been. 

The showrunners also told us what to expect from Harlivy in the coming episodes, saying, “This drum that we keep banging on now is they are a couple, and as long as we’re in charge of the show they will never break up.” But that doesn’t mean the writers won’t present challenges that Harley and Ivy must overcome throughout the season. “We don’t want their relationship to be hunky dory, and they’ll go through trials and tribulations this season.”
