In the crazy (often disappointing) world of DC movies the announcement of a Birds of Prey movie had people worried but with the cast now taking shape it seems all might not be lost. First announced was Jurnee Smollett-Bell (Lovecraft Country, True Blood, Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper) who will take on the role of Dinah Lance/Black Canary; now comes Mary Elizabeth Winstead (10 Cloverfield Lane, Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, Fargo, Die Hard 4.0, Sky High) as Helena Bertinelli/The Huntress. It is also expected that Margot Robbie will also pop up as Harley Quinn.

The film is scheduled for a 2020 release and will be directed by Cathy Yan based on a screenplay by Christina Hodson.
