Huntress is a straight-up vigilante who is described as being an impulsive hero who often leads with violence and ignores the rules, which can get her into trouble. But in Birds Of Prey, Winstead will play Helena Bertinelli, a former mafia princess whose family was killed in a hit that leads her to seek revenge.
There have been many comic iterations of the Huntress since she first appeared in 1977, including one in which she was the child of Batman and Catwoman. Leon Bennett/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images Birds Of Prey also took a big step forward in hiring Cathy Yan, the first Asian woman to direct a superhero movie. In the comics, Black Canary is white, so Smollett-Bell's colorblind casting is a step forward for diversity in the DC universe. Bell's Black Canary is a martial artist who when not chopping bad guys down to size, can take them down with her sonic scream the "canary cry." A founding member of the Birds of Prey, she's also known for teaming up with Green Arrow and for her ability resolve conflicts within the group. Black Canary and Huntress will play a significant role in this fight, which isn't all that surprising since they were founding members of the Birds of Prey.Īccording to The Hollywood Reporter, Black Canary, aka Dinah Lance, is one of "DC's longest serving female heroes" who's been around since 1947. Though, has reported it will be Black Mask, a Gotham City drugpin who was a childhood friend with Bruce Wayne, but let's just say that relationship is complicated. 7, 2020, will have Robbie reprising her Suicide Squad role of Harley Quinn, this time as the leader of an all-female superhero team looking to take down a Gotham crime boss who has yet to be named. Variety reported that Jurnee Smollett-Bell and Mary Elizabeth Winstead have been cast as Black Canary and Huntress, respectively, in the upcoming comic book movie. The all-female DC superhero movie Birds Of Prey just announced who will join Margot Robbie on her team. Only time will tell if Smollett can revisit Black Canary, whether by film or by television.Harley Quinn's girl squad is starting to come together.
Of course, this wouldn't impact any DCEU Birds of Preyplans, since the two remain largely separate. If it does get picked up, however, Green Arrow and the Canaries would star Juliana Harkavy as Dinah Drake/Black Canary and Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance/Black Canary. Producer Marc Guggenheim said in June a decision would be made soon, but so far it has not come. The Arrowverse's Green Arrow and the Canarieshas been in the works at the CW, though as of right now, it remains to be seen if it will actually get picked up. However, Birds of Prey's lackluster performance at the box office has put sequel plans in jeopardy, so it's hard to say what could come in the future.Īt the same time, another Black Canary might already be headed to television. Smollett has previously said she would love to return to the role of Black Canary, and fans largely seem to be in the same boat. would be willing to lease out one of their DCEU stars for a small screen venture (cameos aside), but for this moment, it's fun to imagine what could be. Everyone has been so focused on the possibility of a Birds of Prey 2or some other film that a television show hasn't really been considered.
