“Birds of Prey” won’t hit theaters until February 7, 2020, but fan excitement is already building for director Cathy Yan’s Harley Quinn film that distributor Warner Bros. has dubbed “The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Miss Harley Quinn.”
Starring in the film as Roman Sionis, aka the ruthless crime lord Black Mask, Ewan McGregor is a new entrant to the DC Extended Universe. He recently raved about the film’s script to French publication Premiere, while doing press rounds to promote his “Shining” sequel “Doctor Sleep,” hitting theaters November 8.
As translated by Cinema Blend, McGregor said, “What interested me with ‘Birds of Prey’ is that it’s a feminist film. It is very finely written. There is in the script a real look on misogyny, and I think we need that. We need to be more aware of how we behave with the opposite sex. We need to be taught to change.
