Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn) is the 2020 feature film that pulls together concepts from DC's Birds of Prey comic books and the 2016 Suicide Squad movie.
Margot Robbie reprises her role as Batman villain Harley Quinn, a character she played in Suicide Squad. In this take, Quinn breaks up with the Joker, prompting her considerable list of enemies to come gunning for her. Not the least of which is Roman Sionis (aka The Black Mask, played by Ewan McGregor) and his muscle Victor Zsasz (Chris Messina). Fortunately Quinn finds an unlikely group of allies in Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell, The Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), police detective Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez) and a young street thief named Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco).
Cathy Yan directs the film from a script by Christina Hodson.
The movie was briefly retitled Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey due to its weak box office performance, but has retained it's original title in its home entertainment release.
