Filed Under: Birds of Prey

We expected Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn to begin shooting a couple of weeks ago, but it looks like cameras are finally rolling on Warner Bros. and director Cathy Yan's R-rated "girl-gang movie," as star Margot Robbie has shared an offcial BTS shot to Instagram.

We had heard that Miss Quinn would be sporting several new outfits in this film, and here we see the Aussie actress donning a typically colorful ensemble.

Will we also get an early glimpse of Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Jurnee Smollett-Bell suited-up in their respective costumes as Huntress and Black Canary? Be sure to keep an eye on CBM to find out!

Birds of Prey is set to hit theaters on February 7, 2020.

What do you think of this first look at the returning Harley Quinn? Drop us a comment down below, and get better acquainted with Robbie's costars in our cast breakdown.

Margot Robbie As Harley Quinn

Since her breakout role in The Wolf of Wall Street, Margot Robbie has gone on to become one of the biggest stars in Hollywood and has an Academy Award nomination for I, Tonya under her belt. The 28-year-old Aussie actress is only getting started, too, with massive roles in Mary Queen of Scots and in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon in Hollywood on the horizon.

Of course, she'll also be reprising her Suicide Squad role as Harley Quinn in Birds of Prey.

David Ayer's movie was not particularly well received, but Robbie's take on Quinn came in for a lot of praise and fans will be hoping to see the character achieve her full potential now that The Joker is (presumably) out of the picture.

Jurnee Smollett-Bell As Black Canary

32-year-old New Yorker Jurnee Smollett-Bell has been acting steadily for over 15 years, appearing in TV shows such as Friday Night Lights, Grey's Anatomy and Parenthood. She has some big-screen experience too, but Black Canary in Birds of Prey will definitely be her biggest role to date.

We have seen various live-action and animated interpretations of Dinah Lance over the years, but Jurnee's take is expected to be something completely different. Will she sport the character's signature blond locks? We'll just have to wait and see.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead As Huntress

Mary Elizabeth Winstead (35) has had several fairly high profile parts over the years in the likes of Death Proof, The Thing, Scott Pilfrim Vs. The World and 10 Cloverfield Lane, but it's her upcoming turn as The Huntress in Birds of Prey that could really make her a household name.

Fans have wanted to see her make the jump to the superhero genre for quite a while, so there's a lot of excitement surrounding her role as the ruthless Helena Bertinelli.

Fans of the character's comic book counterpart should probably expect some changes to that costume, however!

Rosie Perez As Renee Montoya

Following her debut in Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing back in 1988, Rosie Perez went on to become an established actress, community activist, talk show host, author, dancer and choreographer. She was nominated for an Oscar for her perfirmance in the 1993 movie Fearless.

Since then, she has acted steadily but Birds of Prey will be her first major big-screen gig in quite a while.

Perez's take on GCPD Detective Renee Montoya remains as much of a mystery as the rest of the new characters, but rumor has it she'll be assigned to track down Huntress and the other Birds of Prey before ultimately deciding to join the team.

Ewan McGregor As Black Mask

Scottish actor Ewan McGregor (47) is obviously a huge star and has appeared in countless acclaimed movies since his big-screen debut in Shallow Grave back in 1994, but, despite portraying the younger Obi Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequels, he has never actually appeared in a comic book movie and Birds of Prey will be his first foray into the superhero genre.

Black Mask will be the main villain of the film, and it's believed that Huntress, Canary, Harley and Montoya will team up to take him down when he kidnaps Cassandra Cain.

Chris Messina As Victor Zsasz

Chris Messina is another prominent actor that has yet to receive his big break, despite plenty of acclaim and awards recognition for his role in 2012's Argo. He is arguably best known for playing Danny Castellano in The Mindy Project, and more recently appeared alongside Amy Adams in HBO's Sharp Objects.

Messina will play the sadistic Victor Zsasz in Birds of Prey, who will most likely be introduced either as one of Black Mask's henchmen, or an early foe for Huntress to track down.

Charlene Amoia As Maria Bertinelli

Charlene Amoia began her career as a model before landing guest appearances in the likes of Joey, Girlfriends, Nip/Tuck, 90210 and The Young & The Restless. She is probably best known for playing Wendy the waitress on the hit sitcom How I Met Your Mother.

In Birds of Prey, Amoia will portray Maria Bertinelli, mother of The Huntress and wife of notorious gangster Franco Bertinelli.

Ella Jay Basco As Cassandra Cain

Newcomer Ella Jay Basco will play Cassandra Cain, who suits up as an incarnation of Batgirl in the comics.

There's barely any info available for Basco online (we're not even sure how old she is), but we do know that this will be her feature debut having previously appeared in the likes of Grey’s Anatomy, Veep, and Superior Donuts.

Previous rumors indicate that Harley and the others will team-up to "protect Cain’s character when she comes across a diamond belonging to McGregor’s Black Mask, a kingpin in Gotham City’s criminal underworld."

Director Cathy Yan

Chinese-American writer/director Cathy Yan has previously helmed several shorts and one feature, the acclaimed Dead Pigs. Upon landing the Birds of Prey gig she became the first female Asian director ever tapped to direct a superhero film.

Yan has kept relatively schtum about the project during interviews, but she did recently confirm that the movie will indeed be rated R.

Yikes.

mastakilla39 - 1/28/2019, 7:28 AM

Looks more like a 80s Madonna cosplay than Harley Quinn. This might be a prequel like Wonder Woman because she doesn't have pure white skin yet? Hopefully they reboot her origin as the extended cut did it no justice.

Love me some Margot.

LongMayHeReign - 1/28/2019, 5:47 AM

She's like that chick that wears 57 metal bracelets on each wrist and you can't help but hear every time she moves an inch.

I'm shook.

I mean, it's not like I don't enjoy looking at Margot Robbie as Harley, but her inclusion in this movie still has me sceptical at best.

WakandanQueen - 1/28/2019, 5:55 AM

I'm waiting for our first look at Huntress so I can post this gif

suitekid - 1/28/2019, 7:39 AM

@WakandanQueen - Any reason to use a Scott Pilgrim should always be taken haha.

FireandBlood - 1/28/2019, 5:56 AM

Wow. They actually made her look worse.

bkmeijer2 - 1/28/2019, 5:57 AM

Well this sure is fabulous. But still, I don't understand why they include Harley Quinn in a Birds of Prey movie. I much rather just see Batgirl, Black Canary and Huntress

Zoinkberg - 1/28/2019, 10:21 AM

@MalseMarcel - Because she's super popular and they wanna push her as DC's Deadpool.

NathimusPrime - 1/28/2019, 5:59 AM

I'm rewatching BTAS and its reminding me how much I miss the old Harly Costume.

IronGenesis - 1/28/2019, 6:02 AM

There she is! Superstar! Harley brought to screen couldn’t be done by a more suited and talented artist. This interpretation both daring and smart.

Gorgeous. 💋💋💋 1/2 out of 💋💋💋💋

GhostDog - 1/28/2019, 6:03 AM

I...sort of miss simple Harley. Which is weird cause she's not necesseily simple.

That pic is A LOT. And I know Harley is a lot but...idk

I guess back to basics Harley

GhostDog - 1/28/2019, 6:03 AM

Necessarily***

GhostDog - 1/28/2019, 6:29 AM

@ShaggyCipher - Harley on BTAS was TRAGIC and I liked that. I think there were times when she was well aware of how The Joker manipulated her and brainwashed her. Batman saw the humanity in her and thought she was worth rehabilitating.

I think HQ has gone down a road where she is far gone from this though.

Reeds2Much - 1/28/2019, 6:53 AM

@ShaggyCipher @BlackBeltJones - Harley's Holiday is pretty much the best episode of the entire series.

auditore - 1/28/2019, 7:10 AM

@BlackBeltJones - Robbie's Harley is like that 2000s know-it-all teen that does everything to call attention to herself.She's basically a emo,which kinda makes sense because if she's in her 20s that would put her as a child/teen in the 2000s
