It looks like we are getting our first cheeky sneaky peeky look at Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) – yes, that’s the actual title of the film starring Margot Robbie, who is reprising her role as Harley Quinn.
Although the film is still more than a year away from its release, a teaser – if you can call it that – showing the entire cast in full costume, has been revealed. If anything, it looks more like a fun music video with heroes and villains letting loose or standing in heroic or villainous poses. Check out the full teaser below.
If we were to judge a film solely on the basis of its title, then Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) sounds absolutely batshit crazy.
That’s because the DC female heroine ensemble will actually be called by the aforementioned title. More on the report below.
A majority of the Birds of Prey cast has already been locked down. The only role that remained was Cassandra Cain, a character who was going to be re-imagined as a 12-year-old Asian girl.
Now it looks like director Cathy Yan may have found her. According to new reports, newcomer Ella Jay Basco is in negotiations to play the young assassin. More on the report, below.
Birds of Prey will bring some of DC best female superheroes, villains, and vigilantes together for one film. The film, to be directed by Cathy Yan, will see the female ensemble fight against one of Gotham’s most notorious criminals, Black Mask. And now they have found the actor to play him.
Reports say Star Wars, Trainspotting, and Christopher Robin actor Ewan McGregor will play the role of Roman Sionis aka Black Mask. More on the report, below.
Last week, it was reported that Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, and more were testing for a variety of roles in Cathy Yan‘s Birds of Prey. The film is a DC spinoff centering on some of the comic’s greatest female superheroes. And according to those same reports, WB wanted to bring diversity to the film. A welcome addition to the film, especially when you saw who they were looking at to play Black Canary.
And now, they’ve found their Canary and Huntress. According to new reports, Smollett-Bell will be playing Canary, while Winstead joins the cast as Huntress. More on the report below.
