Margot Robbie-Starring ‘Birds of Prey’ Teaser Reveals Heroes and Villains in First Look
Written by SOURCE on January 28, 2019
DC and Warner Bros. have shared the first look at Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn).
The 19-second teaser, titled “See You Soon,” marks the first time the film’s heroes and villains are presented in costume. There’s Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary, Rosie Perez as Detective Renee Montoya, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Huntress, Ella Jay Basco as future Batgirl Cassandra Cain; Ewan McGregor as Black Mask; Chris Messina as sadistic serial killer Victor Zsasz, and, of course, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn.
You can check out the teaser above.
Robbie also shared a sneak peek at her character’s flashy get-up on social media Monday. Eagle-eyed fans pointed out that the anti-hero was rocking a “Bruce” necklace—a subtle, but amusing reference to Gotham hero Batman. She captioned the selfie post: “Miss me?”
Birds of Prey is currently in production with Cathy Yan sitting in the director’s chair. Christina Hodson (Bumblee) penned the script for the Suicide Squad spinoff, which is expected to hit theaters on Feb. 7, 2020.
“I’ve always loved Harley. I think she is so complicated and nuanced and interesting and is so full of completely opposing qualities,” Hodson told Comicbook.com last month. “She is incredibly intelligent; she is a psychiatrist, but she’s also incredibly silly and immature, and that balance between kind of sanity and madness, fun and frivolity and real intelligence, heart, was such a fun thing to be able to play with […] I also love what Margot brought to that character. And working with Margot on the character and on the story for the last three years has been a dream come true really.”
