Vanessa Kirby as Black Canary in Margot Robbie's 'Birds of Prey'? DC fans say "yes"

'Birds of Prey' has roped in Cathy Yan - the first Asian woman to direct a DC movie - and now a growing speculation is pitching 'The Crown' actress for a leading role.

Slowly and steadily Margot Robbie's ambitious all-female DC-starrer, 'Birds of Prey', seems to be taking shape. Developing to become a first in different aspects of the superhero movie genre, the team had earlier roped in director Cathy Yan - the first Asian woman to helm a DC project - and now a growing speculation on the Internet is pitching 'The Crown' actress Vanessa Kirby for a leading role in the same. 

Kirby, who has unsurprisingly caught our eyes with her glamorous portrayal of Princess Margaret in Peter Morgan's Netflix series, was most recently seen turning heads as the villainous White Widow in Mission Impossible: Fallout. But if superhero fans have it their way, the English actress' next could be none other than a DC blockbuster. The idea seemed to have been fuelled by early casting rumors - and as an extension of this thought, fans on social media have now even come up with artworks, imagining the actress as Dinah Lance/Black Canary.
