While
Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) will obviously put the spotlight on several notable characters, including the titular super-team and the villain Black Mask, it will also feature some personalities that even comic book fans don’t know.
One of these fresh faces set to appear in
Birds of Prey is the character played by Dana Lee (
Dr. Ken). However, thanks to a new interview with the
Curb Your Enthusiasm,
actor we have some new details on his role and his ties to Harley Quinn and The Joker.
“I play a character named Doc," Lee explained during an interview with
Your Entertainment Corner.
"I own this little restaurant and my residence is above there. Every time Harley Quinn gets in trouble with the Joker, she would come and stay with me. And I’m like her — like she says in the story — I'm her Taiwanese grandfather she never had.”
Although it’s unclear how large of a role Doc will have in the film, it sounds as if he may play a key part in Harley Quinn’s story, as
set photos seemingly confirmed a split between Margot Robbie's character and the Clown Prince of Crime.
Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), which also stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jurnee Smollett-Bell and Rosie Perez, is set to hit theaters on February 7, 2020.
