Deadline reveals that Warner Bros. has chosen Fargo and 10 Cloverfield Lane actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead to take on the role of Huntress in upcoming DC Comics adaptation, Birds of Prey. Black Canary, meanwhile, will be played by Underground actress Jurnee Smollett-Bell.

They join Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn in a movie the trade says will feature a Gotham which isn't protected by Batman! They also note that Batgirl won't appear but we've actually known that for quite some time now. 

Renee Montoya hasn't been cast as of yet but it's said that the role of the lesbian police detective is now down to One Day at a Time's Justina Machado and Vida's Roberta Colindrez. Christina Hodson wrote the script and Cathy Yan is directing. A February 2020 release date was recently set but the title of the movie is up in the air as it may not end up being called Birds of Prey based on recent reports.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead? Oh yeah, I love her! She is always great!

...they took the "black" in "Black Canary" pretty literal, eh?

@rebellion - I loved season 1 but it just went downhill fast after that.

@IcemanX - Indeed. I couldn't make it to the last season. I stopped when Bill chased Eric and Sookie out of the mansion at the end of the previous season.

I love MEW, and I'm sure she'll do great, but it's just not how I pictured Helena. And the other person..

@Nebula - When I saw the pic of the lady playing BC I thought it was Steph Curry's wife for a second.

Winstead is a coup for Huntress. Really don't know much about the young lady playing Dinah. Was really leaning toward Blake Lively, but we'll see.
