The Harley Quinn/Birds of Prey Movie Has Found Its Screenwriter

The Harley Quinn solo film has found its screenwriter.

Deadline first broke the news that Christina Hodson, who’s also been working on the Transformers spin-off Bumblebee, was working on a DC movie for Warner Bros.

This led to fans speculating a few ideas, but the number one theory was it’s the Harley movie.

The speculating was confirmed a few moments later when The Wrap revealed Hodson was indeed on board to pen the script and they also found out some added info.

It’s been described as a Harley Quinn/Birds of Prey movie. Rather being a Quinn solo, it’ll feature multiple female superheroes and maybe a few villains from DC comics.

Warner Bros are seemingly rate the up-and-coming writer highly as she’s also been penning a reboot of The Fugitive for the studio, the original starred Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones.

Meanwhile, Margot Robbie is seen as a golden girl for WB because not only will she reprise her role, but will be attached as a producer. Robbie signed a first-look deal with the studio back in September and has been the driving force behind getting the film made pitching it to Warner Bros executives.

It seems to be a smart move by WB/DC Films as Suicide Squad has just finished it’s run in cinemas and likely to end with a total of $745 million dollars at the worldwide box office. The big driving force was Robbie’s portrayal of the character, which was mostly praised.

This film will probably bring a new meaning to ‘Girl Squad’, as Harley will team-up with the all-female hero team Birds of Prey. The team includes, Barbara Gordon’s Batgirl, Black Canary and Huntress, the last two have featured in the DC TV show Arrow.

Or she could team-up with Catwoman and Poison Ivy to become the Gotham Sirens.
