We recently learned that a Black Canary movie is in the works for HBO Max that will see Jurnee Smollett-Bell reprise her Birds of Prey role as Dinah Lance. That's exciting news for fans of the character, but should we expect to see any of her co-stars from that 2019 movie joining the fan-favourite superhero?

It's sadly too soon to say, but during a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Mary Elizabeth Winstead opened up on the possibility of reprising the role of Huntress in the DC Extended Universe. 

"I'm down for anything, really. I think Huntress is such a fun character, I don't know if there's any plans in the future to continue that version of Huntress, because there's a few different versions out there, in the comic books there's different versions, so I don't know if that's what's in store," Winstead admitted. "But I'm happy I got the chance to do at least one iteration of her and if that iteration continues then I'd love to be a part of it, but we'll see what happens."

Birds of Prey's take on Huntress was a weird one, but there's no denying that there's still a lot of potential for a character like Helena Bertinelli on either the big or small screen. Ultimately, it might be best for Black Canary to focus on Dinah, especially as she was very much a supporting character to Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn during her big screen debut. 

The DC Comics superhero fans would arguably be most excited to see appear in this HBO Max movie is, of course, Green Arrow. Oliver Queen's dynamic with Dinah has always been a blast to follow on the page, and the archer is definitely deserving of a live-action return following The CW's Arrow series.

Which characters do you want to see in Black Canary?

DC need someone steering the ship. It sort of feels like they are churning out films in a sort of worried fashion, with no real care to the approach. The exception being The Batman which i think looks great.

If green arrow appears in this movie, I hope they prepare the ground for an emerald archer movie.

Rufus Sewell to play Merlyn.

I'm still hoping there is atleast one other hero showing up. Preferably bith Huntress and Batgirl, but if it's just one of them or Green Arrow, I'm happy too. Just don't think Canary alone works all that great

Out of all the characters they could have picked from the BoP movie to continue on, I think they made the right choice with Black Canary. Dinah had the most intriguing back story of all the supporting characters. And Jurnee killed it playing the role! As for Huntress they just made her into a woman with rage issues. Something they could have delved deeper into as far as the "why" but they chose not to. So we had this ragey woman who screamed, "IT'S NOT A BOW AND ARROW!" There really wasn't much to her. Which is sad because they could have given her so much more to work with. So yeah, they made the right choice.

@SpaceAgent - Just have it so the Birds of Prey are all off on their own missions, Dinah has her solo film where maybe Renee could probably pop up at one point, in the case of Helena she could be tracking another mafia group associated with her family's killers that's also being targeted by Deadshot which leads to both of them fighting each other before being placed in Belle Reve and forced to work together on the Squad.

She should be the new Lois Lane. She’s perfect.

@micvalpro - she was my top pick for Lois before Amy Adams was cast actually.
