You can view them all below and remember that the film opens this Thursday! You can get tickets here! Additionally, Mary and Margot did a BBC radio interview which you can listen to HERE. I also added a cute promo the cast did to celebrate Carnival in Brazil. You can view that under the ‘more’ tag.

After Birds of Prey had their London premiere on Wednesday, Twitter users flocked to the social media app to praise the film. While critics’ reviews won’t be out until next week, fans agreed that the film is amazing, worth the watch, and overall a great film filled with humor and tons of action! You can find some of their reactions below:
I want to give a special shout out to Mary Elizabeth Winstead's Helena here for having some of the most surprising laugh-out-loud moments of the movie. This is a Helena I want a comic about.

#BirdsOfPrey has terrific action, humor & some of the more memorable characters we’ve seen in a DC movie, but the biggest highlight is Margot Robbie. She is fantabulous as Harley, while also proving that sometimes our most valued relationships are the ones we have w/ good food pic.twitter.com/EDQ3sr5JtL

#BirdsofPrey is delightfully unassuming and unconcerned with its place in a larger context. It's a bonkers bananas crime comedy and a genuine party movie. Everyone is having a blast but Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays Huntress like a supporting character from THE TICK. It rocks. pic.twitter.com/7MRMKkZ0oi

More interviews featuring the cast of Birds of Prey are coming online each day and today, a couple more interviews have been released. Speaking to Variety, Mary discussed her time working on the soap opera Passions, how it felt to work on a set with women both in front of and behind the camera and what drew her to take on the role of Huntress. They also released a new still of Mary as her character and you can view the HQ image in the gallery. Glamour UK’s interview with them is also listed below. Additionally, you can see an interview Mary did with the rest of the cast here.
What did you know about Huntress before you signed on?
I had a vague awareness of her. Once I heard about the project and I started researching her, I found her to be a really interesting, mysterious kind of character. Then I met with Cathy and Margot. And I became more and more interested in the world that they were building — of all these really quite intriguing women.
What are some ways you feel like you’ve been treated differently as a woman in this industry?
I think it’s just the feeling that there’s an expectation that you’ll always be quiet about everything. That you’ll always be quiet about any sort of mistreatment that’s come that comes your way. There’s an expectation that the women — particularly the young women, or the women who aren’t so famous — would never speak up about it. Because our places within the industry are too fragile for us to risk that. And that expectation is changing.
How old were you when you were on “Passions”?
I was 14 years old. It was my first time coming to Los Angeles, and I ended up on the crazy soap opera. So that’s how that happened.
Were you aware of how utterly batshit it was as you were filming it?
I had no idea. As I was filming it, I certainly became more aware as the days were going on, and as the scripts were coming in. But when I signed on to it, I had no idea what I was doing. They didn’t give a scripts or anything. It was just like, “Oh, there’s a new soap opera. It’s gonna have lots of teenagers and young people. It’s going to air in the summer.” We all just went, “Great. Sounds awesome!” And it was. I mean, it was great.
Below you will find a few interviews Mary and the Birds of Prey cast have been doing to promote the film. 3 new clips have also been released. Stay tuned for more videos as the film gets closer to release date on February 7th!
Last night was the world premiere of Birds of Prey in London, England and Mary looked absolutely stunning in a velvet red dress. She was joined at the event by her co-stars as well as the director of the film Cathy Yan, writer Christina Hodson and composter Daniel Pemberton and some producers. I have added over 200+ photos of Mary at the event to the gallery and you can see some videos below! Another video interview with Mary can also be seen here where she gets interviewed by ET Online.
After staying in Mexico over the weekend, the Birds of Prey cast that includes Mary, Margo, Ella Jay and Jurnee are currently in London where they will have a red carpet premiere there today (January 29). I have added some photos of them at the UK photo call which you can view in the gallery.
In addition to Oracle, Mary Elizabeth Winstead wants other members of the Batman family. Winstead said, “I would love to be against, for us to be a part of the Batman universe. I know our version of Helena isn’t the version of Helena who’s related to Batman,” referring to the pre-Crisis Huntress, who was was actually the daughter of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle. “But still being a part of that universe… the new Catwoman, I think is amazing.”
Referring to the upcoming DC film The Batman, Winstead and the other stars were quick to share their excitement for Zoe Kravitz to take on the role of Catwoman. “I think that’s going to be really exciting,” Winstead said. “I was really into the Michelle Pfeiffer version, but now I’m really really into the Zoe Kravitz version, I’m so excited… That would be amazing, so cool to see how all those characters collide.”
In an interview for Fandango, the cast interview each other on what it’s like to be the first all-female antihero team-up, what it was like to suit up their characters’ wild gear, and how the action sequences set this movie apart from the rest.
The leading ladies of Birds of Prey (& the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) were in Mexico City, Mexico over the weekend to screen the film for the first time. Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Margot Robbie, and Jurnee Smollett-Bell were there on the pink carpet where they took time to meet fans and take lots of photos and sign items for them. I have added over 90+ photos of them at the event and you can view them all in the gallery!
Now that the Birds of Prey promo tour has started, interviews are being done and put online. Below you will see a few interviews and behind the scenes footage of the film. The cast also spoke with Variety at last night’s Harleywood event and defended the film’s R rating. The Birds of Prey cast is currently in Mexico, where they will screen the film for the first time.
“I think it’s very true to who Harley is…She’s the one telling the story, so we see it through her eyes and her eyes are quite poppy and creative and unlike anything else. I think it’s totally uninhibited in every way. That’s what it felt like shooting it. We got to do whatever we wanted. We got to improv. We’re throwing around curse words.”
