I was reading the other day on the internet that in the movie universe of DC Comics Ewan McGregor will be playing the villain The Black Mask in just one of the Harley Quinn movie projects as she is going to be starring in David Ayer's "Gotham City Sirens" and as yet according to IMDb.com an untitled "Harley Quin and Joker" movie along with a hopefully much anticipated "Suicide Squad 2"...looks like this character as well as Margot Robbie will be a busy bunny for quite a while yet!
I have to be honest when I first heard about the Black Mask being the villain in this first Harley Quinn movie project "Birds Of Prey" I had to Google this as I really didn't know much about this villain as I did other villains like the Joker, Raz al Ghul, Penguin, Two Face, Dr. Freeze, The Riddler, Poison Ivy, Bane, Catwomen etc etc, according to Wikipedia,-and here is where comic book fans may have to forgive me if I get this a bit wrong-, the Black Mask's real name is Roman Sionis a disguised obsessed crime lord who was forced by his wealthy parents to make friends with Bruce Wayne although his parents hated the Wayne's they still wanted to mingle in high society, he was dropped on his head as a baby and his parents paid people off to cover up this fact. He is also according to Wikipedia an expert in intimidation, torture and hand to hand combat and when he takes the mask off he is an expert in hypnosis.
This film will not only be introducing this new villain in a DC Comic Book spinoff movie but this film will also introduce Helena Bertinelli a.k.a Huntress who will be played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Dinah Lance a.k.a Black Canary who will be played by June Smollett-Bell, Gotham City Detective Renee Montoya who will be played by Rosie Perez and Cassandra Cain who will be played by Ella Jay Basco as according to ScreenRant.com's website the plot for "Birds Of Prey" is that Margot Robbie's character Harley Quinn forms a gang of super heroin's which includes Black Canary and Huntress to protect Cassandra Cain from the Black Mask after she stumbles upon a diamond that belongs to the Black Mask.
But I'm thinking if these characters are as psychotic as Harley Quinn was in "Suicide Squad" then the term "stumbled upon" is going to be very loose...more probably like this diamond was stolen from the Black Mask.
Anyhew...also according to ScreenRant.com's website filming for "Birds Of Prey" hasn't started yet but is thought to begin filming in early 2019 with according to IMDb.com's website February 7th 2020 in the USA release date.
According to The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision's website Cathy Yan will be directing this for Warner Bros. with Sue Kroll producing via her Kroll & Co. banner along with Margot Robbie and her LuckyChap Entertainment and Bryan Unkeless' Clubhouse Pictures and the script for this is being written by Christina Hodson.
