‘Birds Of Prey’ Comic Covers Reveal New Looks At Black Canary & Huntress

Some new DC Comics covers have revealed new looks at Birds of Prey characters Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie).

In some new comic covers, the likenesses of Jurnee Smollett-Bell’s Black Canary and Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Huntress have received clear new illustrations alongside Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn. Of particular focus are Jurnee Smollett-Bell’s Black Canary and Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Huntress, as neither actress has appeared as prominently in the marketing due to the Birds of Prey teaser not officially hitting the internet.

While none of the characters have costumes that appear to be directly based on the comics, the inspiration is clearly there. It seems that the decision to give Jurnee Smollett-Bell’s Black Canary, Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Huntress, and Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn new designs seems to be based around the specific tone that the movie is aiming for — which seems to be grounded, but offbeat.

Full details on the Birds of Prey plot are currently unknown, though the film is said to center on Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Huntress, Jurnee Smollett-Bell’s Black Canary, and Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn joining forces to protect Cassandra Cain when she comes into the possession of a diamond belonging to a criminal kingpin known as Black Mask.

Directed by Cathy Yan from a script penned by Bumblebee writer Christina Hodson, Birds of Prey stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Huntress, Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary, Ella Jay Basco as Cassandra Cain, Rosie Perez as Renee Montoya, Chris Messina as Victor Zsasz, Ewan, McGregor as Black Mask, and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. Ali Wong, Robert Catrini, and Michael Masini have also been cast in undisclosed roles.

Birds of Prey will be released in theaters on February 7, 2020. Stay tuned for the latest news on the future of the DC Extended Universe!
