Vanessa Kirby who? DC's eyeing a biracial Black Canary for Margot Robbie-led 'Birds of Prey'
The next time fans get to see Harley Quinn in action, she might be in cahoots with her DC girl gang for the upcoming ensemble movie 'Birds of Prey'. Directed by Cathy Yan, the ambitious all-female superhero flick has been taking shape rapidly as speculations surrounding the remaining cast continue to build up.
While it has been confirmed that the Australian actress would be reprising her psychotic role as the accomplice and lover of Joker from Suicide Squad, the cast choices for other characters — like Black Canary, Huntress, Cassandra Cain, and Renee Montoya — featuring in 'Birds of Prey' are yet to be announced.
As far as Black Canary's role is concerned, 'The Crown' actress Vanessa Kirby's name has been floated around, along with other front-runners like Blake Lively and 'Killing Eve' villainess Jodie Comer. However, if the latest report by Heroic Hollywood is to be believed, neither of them might actually end up being cast as Dinah Lance. It is because DC has completely different plans for the iconic vigilante, who goes by the name of Dinah Drake or Laurel Lance.
