Renaissance Influence?
Harley Quinn stands front and center of the new Birds of Prey poster, which also announces her “Emancipation”. It’s definitely a frenetic look for the ensemble cast and is more like a “Where’s Waldo” puzzle, as your eyes cannot drink in enough of clues as to what is new to the fans following the release of this movie.
The poster is like a pop-art twist on a Renaissance painting, with Harley surrounded by a floating Huntress who hangs off the leg of Black Canary, flying in the sky. Cassandra Cain sits atop a giant jewel while Renee Montoya wears a red sheet in the background.
Aside from the members of the Birds of Prey sits a curious figure: a beaver next to Harley’s foot that emerges from a hole and sports a necklace. That is indeed Bernie the Beaver, a DC Comics character owned by Harley making his debut in Birds of Prey. And of course, a Hyena baring its teeth.
Birds of Prey stars Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary, Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Huntress, Ella Jay Basco as Cassandra Cain, and Rosie Perez as Renee Montoya.
Ewan McGregor is playing Black Mask, while Chris Messina takes on the role of serial killer Victor Zsasz.
Cathy Yan directs a script by Bumblebee writer Christina Hodson.
Birds of Prey flies into theaters on February 7, 2020.
