Deadline:

We’re hearing about the list of actresses who are reading for Warner Bros./DC’s Birds of Prey movie. The characters of Huntress, Rene Montoya and Black Canary would be a part of Harley Quinn’s all-girl gang. They take on Batman villain Black Mask, with the help of Cassandra Cain. Margot Robbie reprises her Suicide Squad role as Harley Quinn.

Being considered for the role of Huntress is The Mummy actress Sofia Boutella, Fargo and Cloverfield Lane actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Wolf of Wall Street and How I Met Your Mothers Cristin Milioti, and Margaret Qualley, the latter starring in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and starred in HBO’s The Leftovers.

For Rene Montoya, One Day at a Times Justina Machado is in the mix, along with Vidas Roberta Colindrez. Montoya is a lesbian detective on the Gotham City police force.

In consideration for Black Canary, known for her shrieking cry, are Belles Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Underground actress Jurnee Smollett-Bell.

Very cool choices across the board. Maybe Margot Robbie can steer this ship correctly!
