Rosie Perez will be playing Renee Montoya, and Ella Jay Basco as Cassandra Cain as well. She will be joined by Mary Elizabeth Winstead as the Huntress, while Jurnee Smollett-Bell will be playing Black Canary. Harley, Huntress, Black Canary, and Renee Montoyas paths collide, and the unlikely foursome has no choice but. What exactly that story will be isn’t clear yet, other than Black Mask (Ewan McGregor) is after all of them.īirds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) will be the first appearance of Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn since Suicide Squad. A twisted tale told by Harley Quinn herself: When Gothams most nefariously narcissistic villain Roman Sionis, and his zealous right-hand, Zsasz, put a target on a young girl named Cass, the city is turned upside-down looking for her. We do get a quick reference to Joker, and beyond that it feels like its own story. There’s at least one shot of a younger woman in a church which suggests to us we’ll be something about her origins.īeyond that, this trailer is just pretty much pure color and energy from start to finish. The focus is very clearly on Harley (Margot Robbie) in this first trailer as she is known by general audiences, but there are some definite hints to background on Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) and Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). The book's premise originated as a partnership between Black Canary and Barbara Gordon, who had adopted the codename Oracle at the time, but has expanded to include. Written and directed by Christina Hodson and Cathy Yan, respectively, Birds of Prey is in theaters February 7.At long last, the first full Birds of Prey trailer has arrived, and we’re getting a proper look at the movie. The Birds of Prey is a superhero team featured in several American comic book series, miniseries, and special editions published by DC Comics since 1996. Still, to have so many women leading a film (and an inclusive cast at that!) is amazing. Grieving over the loss of his secret love, Catwoman, Batman leaves New Gotham to fend for itself.

Winstead added that she was surprised by the amount of women working on-set, which is a rare occurrence on big-budget movies like Birds of Prey. There’s nothing about that should be sexualized because that’s not where she’s coming from and it certainly wasn’t where I was coming from in playing the role.” So it should be tactical, it should be functional. My character is thinking she wants to be able to take people down. That conversation included how practical their costumes were. Speaking with HelloGiggles, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who plays Birds of Prey’s Huntress, said the cast was also important in shaping the way their characters were portrayed onscreen. That’s why when it came to Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), the involvement of women in front of and behind the scenes was important. Look no further than Zack Snyder’s treatment of Wonder Woman versus Patty Jenkins’ take on the character and you’ll notice a stark difference. Within the superhero genre, though, it can be even more important if for no other reason than the genre has largely catered to men and hyper-sexualized women more often than not. First off, there’s almost always less butt and boob shots for which I’m always grateful because whenever male directors use the camera to objectify women it always leaves a bad taste in my mouth. There have been so many discussions on why women should direct and write more films, particularly those centering women.
