Margot Robbie says her upcoming film "Birds of Prey" explores an aesthetically and tonally different world that sets it apart from Joaquin Phoenix's "Joker".

Titled "Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn", the movie is a spin-off of "Suicide Squad" that introduced Robbie's character Harley Quinn.

Talking to Variety, the actor said she has seen and liked Phoenix's performance in "Joker", directed by Todd Phillips.

"I did, yeah. He did a phenomenal job. Our world in 'Birds of Prey' is very different -- the aesthetic, the tone. Very, very different. Ours is certainly a heightened reality.

"There's a clear distinction between real life and what you're experiencing on the screen. I feel like the 'Joker' film was much more grounded. Ours is different," Robbie said.

 

"Birds of Prey", directed by Cathy Yan, also features Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Huntress, Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary, Ella Jay Basco as Cassandra Cain and Rosie Perez as Renee Montoya.

The movie is slated to be released on February 7.
