New ‘Birds of Prey’ Set Photos Tease Ewan McGregor’s Black Mask

New Birds of Prey set photos featuring Harley Quinn to reveal a new connection to Ewan McGregor’s Black Mask in the upcoming DC film.

The first look at Ewan McGregor’s Black Mask was revealed in a short video as Birds of Prey principal photography began in LA. Ewan McGregor’s Roman Sionis wasn’t sporting an actual Black Mask in the video and Birds of Prey appears to be aiming for a more realistic tone. This has caused DCEU fans to speculate whether not Ewan McGregor will cover up his face in the film at all. Principal photography in the LA streets has led to new looks at many of the characters in the film except for Ewan McGregor’s Black Mask, but a tease of the film’s villain has now been spotted.

A Black Mask hint was uncovered recently on the DC Cinematic subreddit page, where Black Mask’s Janus Cosmetics company logo was spotted in the background of set pictures. A Janus Corp logo also appeared at the beginning of Justice League, when Batman was tacking down a Parademon in Gotham City. In the Birds of Prey set photos, Harley Quinn appears to be jumping out of a truck heading towards Janus Cosmetics. You can check out the Black Mask connection below:
