Black Canary, Huntress, Cassandra Cain, and Renee Montoya will join Harley Quinn’s girl gang in the Margot Robbie film “Birds of Prey,” TheWrap has exclusively learned.
Robbie will produce “Birds of Prey” and reprise her “Suicide Squad” character, Harley Quinn. The film is centered around a revolving group of female heroes and villains, individuals with knowledge of the project tell TheWrap.
In addition, TheWrap has learned that the villain in “Birds of Prey” will be a Batman comics villain who has never before appeared on the big screen.
“Birds of Prey” will be produced by Kroll & Co Entertainment’s Sue Kroll and Clubhouse Pictures’ Bryan Unkeless, as well as Robbie.
“What I liked about it when I read the script was that the relationship seemed to be very clearly based on the premise that they both had limitations that they were struggling and fighting against, just to be able to their jobs. So for him, as “skinny Steve”, he wasn’t taken seriously, wasn’t given the chance, was kind of always humiliated. And with Peggy, the fact that she was a woman in a male dominated environment at that time, was just a fulltime job overcoming the prejudice of that as well as just trying to do her job. So I think it was clear in the script that it wasn’t just the oversexualized, sexy love interest but a relationship that was connected through their inner struggle.” — Hayley Atwell on what caught her attention the first time she read the script for Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)
