BIRDS OF PREY Movie Finally Casts Its Huntress And Black Canary
Last week, we finally got a shortlist of actresses in the running to join Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn in Birds of Prey and it's now been revealed who will take on the roles of Huntress and Black Canary...
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.
