Yesterday, Australian actress Margot Robbie posted a cover image of the script of Harley Quinn ‘s solo film on Instagram. She also revealed that the title of this film is Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). This is really good news for fans who have waited for Harley Quinn to come back on the screen for a long time.
This title was confirmed to be the final name according to The Hollywood Reporter and it may be inspired by the Oscar 2014 best picture Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance). People often call this film Birdman so there is a possibility that Harley Quinn’s spin-off will be known as Birds of Prey.
This is the second time Robbie plays Harley Quinn after Suicide Squad in 2016. Although Suicide Squad received many negative reviews from both fans and critics, Harley Quinn is really a star and save the film. That is the reason why this character deserves her own spin-off.
In the upcoming title, fans will meet the famous Bird of Prey team, which includes: Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco), Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez) and of course the star of the film: Harley Quinn. The villain in the film is Black Mask, played by Ewan McGregor.
Birds of Prey is directed by Cathy Yan, a Chinese and American screenwriter, director and producer. As a plan, it will be released in February 2020. Until now, there are no hints about the plot of the film but base on the title, it is likely about the period when Harley runs away from her lover Joker, the best supervillain of DC's comic.
The screenwriter is also a woman, Christina Hodson, who writes Bumblebee Transformer spinoff and Naomi Watt’s psychological horror film Shut-in.
