BIRDS OF PREY Spinoff Focusing On Jurnee Smollett's Black Canary Rumored To Be In The Works

We've heard some whispers about this in the past, but some new evidence has now come to light which points to Warner Bros. developing a Birds of Prey spinoff focusing on Jurnee Smollett's Black Canary.

Margot Robbie reprised the role of Harley Quinn for James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, but we still don't know if there are any plans in place for the rest of the Birds of Prey. Fans are hopeful for a sequel (unlikely), but they'd almost certainly settle for spinoffs focusing on the individual characters, and we're now hearing whispers of a Black Canary project in development at Warner Bros.

Jurnee Smollett's Dinah Lance was seen as a highlight of the 2020 release, and the actress has seemingly teased her return (possible for a Green Arrow team-up) on social media in the past. Now, Daniel Richtman is reporting that a Black Canary spinoff is indeed in the works.

No further details were provided, but in a separate report, W Magazine mention that there's "been talk" of a Black Canary movie. You can check out their intriguing response to a fan on Twitter below.

We know WB has a lot of content lined up for the HBO Max streaming service, so a series or movie focusing on Black Canary is certainly a possibility, and it would allow them to introduce a new version of Green Arrow to the DCEU. That's pure speculation, of course, but there definitely seems to be something to this.

Could we get an official announcement at DC FanDome later this year, perhaps? Keep an eye out for updates.

I’ll take it! Gimme my girl BC, maybe fighting GA only to team up at the end. Mr and Mrs Smith style?

Id be fine with that, she was the only characters that felt like more than just a joke and she is a good actress.

Have her act a bit more like comic Black Canary and use the canary cry more and could be cool. Wouldn't mind seeing her in a Green Arrow movie.

I’m not interested in seeing any more of these birds of prey. Last film completely butchered them

Don't really want a solo project, because I've always like her more as a team-up character. So how about a The Birds of Prey movie, with Canary, Huntress and the new Batgirl?

@bkmeijer - sounds good.
I wouldn't exclude Montoya

@Slotherin - wasn't the biggest fan of that version, so I wouldn't mind if that did exclude her

@bkmeijer - I'm finding some of my comments misplaced around here, but personally I liked her version just fine. I agree that it would be best to play her off other characters though.
Some sort of sequel Birds of Prey would be a good way to branch into Green Arrow territory.

@Slotherin - I do want to see it branch of into GA territory too, but I doubt we'll see that happen soon

@BlackBeltJones - eh... I've actually wanted them to continue what they started in the first one.

@BlackBeltJones - eh, gonna quote james gunn here when he was asked about the peacemaker series:
"No one asked for breaking bad either" (or something like that, I don't remember it by heart). That isn't to say that it will be a breaking bad-level project, but if they only made what the fans wanted we'd get nothing but batman and superman until the heat death of the universe.

Just watched Birds of Prey for the first time this week. Really enjoyed it. They could definitely make a team up movie without Harley and people would see it. Put Oracle in there. Maybe bring back Katana.

@InfinitePunches - that's what I was thinking with Oracle and the rest of the actual BOP team. That could be a good way to bring Katana in too.
