WB Taps Up-And-Coming Director Cathy Yan To Helm BIRDS OF PREY Featuring Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn
It looks like Warner Bros. has found a director for their next Harley Quinn-focused project, which will be based on DC's Birds of Prey comic series. Cathy Yan (Dead Pigs) is the studio's top choice...
Deadline reports that Warner Bros and DC Entertainment have chosen Cathy Yan to be the director of their still untitled "girl gang movie", which is said to be based on Birds of Prey. Though no deal is in place just yet, the trade is confident that Yan will land the gig, making her "the first female Asian director ever tapped to direct a superhero film."
The project will feature the return of Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, but it remains to be seen if she'll be joined by the likes of Black Canary, Batgirl and Huntress. We do know that "the main characters and most of the creative braintrust are female."
The script was written by Christina Hodson, who we recently found out was also hired to pen the Batgirl movie.
Birds of Prey (or whatever it winds up being called) is expected to commence production by year's end or early 2019. Apparently, Harley Quinn Vs The Joker, Gotham City Sirens and a direct Suicide Squad sequel are all still in the works, but have now been put on the backburner.
