Here’s Everything We Learned On Set Of Margot Robbie’s ‘Birds of Prey’

I’m a huge DC Comics fan and I love most of their movies. Batman was a huge inspiration for me when I was growing up and Batman: The Animated Series highlighted his awesome rogues gallery of villains as well as added to it. Paul Dini created a brand new villain for the series and almost 30 years later she’s a pop culture phenomenon. Of course, the character I’m referring to is Harley Quinn. After her introduction in Batman: The Animated Series, Harley Quinn made her way into comics, TV and even the big screen, played by Margot Robbie.

Margot Robbie was cast as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad back in 2015 and the actress quickly encapsulated the role. Harley Quinn was easily one of the best parts of Suicide Squad regardless of your feelings on the film and Margot Robbie embodied the character in a way I don’t believe anyone else could. During the filming of Suicide Squad, Margot Robbie began to look forward and tried to figure out what could be next for Harley Quinn.  “I kept saying like, ‘Oh, Harley does so much better when she has people to play with.’ I kept thinking that in real life I had such a girl gang, like my group of girlfriends, and I just want Harley to have a girl gang.” Then came the idea for this to be a Birds of Prey film with Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn leading the charge.

Back in March, Warner Bros. invited journalists to visit the set of Margot Robbie’s Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn) and I was one of the lucky few to see what the studio has in store with the first all-female superhero team-up film. On March 12, 2019, we arrived to the Warner Brothers Studios lot in Burbank, California and I don’t think we were fully prepared for what we were about to see. As we walked into the Birds of Prey war room, we were surrounded by something not many DC movies have had: color.

The walls were plastered with concept art and items from Birds of Prey. We even got the chance to sit on the couch you’ll see in Harley Quinn’s apartment. Producers Sue Kroll and Bryan Unkeless entered the room and they gave us a look at an extended version of the costume test footage that dropped when Birds of Prey began filming, but I won’t keep droning on the semantics of it all.

There’s a bunch of cool things about Birds of Prey that you guys have yet to discover and I’m excited to dissect it for you in the following slideshow. Hit “Next” as I reveal almost everything about my Heroic mission to the Birds of Prey set.
