Thanks to MargotRobbieBR on Twitter, we have our first stand-alone still of Mary in Birds of Prey as her character, Huntress AKA Helena Bertinelli. Be sure to head to the gallery to check out the full-sized pic and remember to come back tomorrow to read the new Total Film scans where Mary and the rest of the cast and director Cathy Yan discuss the upcoming film, set to hit theaters on February 7, 2020.
I have added a few new photos of Mary from earlier this month when she visited CCXP in Brazil to promote Birds of Prey. You can view the new pics by clicking the thumbnails below or visiting the gallery. In related news, the upcoming film has officially been rated ‘R’ for strong language and violence throughout.

Finally, it has been revealed that Megan Thee Stallion and Normani will be collaborating on a new song for the upcoming ‘Birds of Prey’ soundtrack. Megan posted some photos from the video shoot which you can see here. Doja Cat is also confirmed to be on the soundtrack. She posted more photos from her video set here.
Total Film Magazine’s upcoming issue features the cast of Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) on their latest cover and you can view the HQ images in the gallery! Check back this Friday for the full interview with the cast (including Mary!!) and more photos!
“It’s very much like the comic books where you pick up in a totally different place, and it doesn’t directly link to what happened before,” Robbie tells our sister publication Total Film magazine . “But at the same time it’s not such a leap that you’re like, ‘Oh, what’s going on?!'”
Director Cathy Yan adds that Birds of Prey is “definitely a standalone movie” with fleeting connections to Suicide Squad, such as Harley having the same mallet. “It was really fun to create our own movie, and to not feel like it had to be a sequel or a continuation of Suicide Squad,” she says.
As for if Birds will have a connection to the upcoming Suicide Squad sequel set for 2021, Margot said this:
“Tonally, David Ayer’s world looks different to [Birds’] world, which will look different to James’s world,” she says. “So, no, there’s not a direct connection. But like the comics, it doesn’t cancel out one or the other.”
Margot also said she really enjoyed working with her female co-stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Rosie Perez, Ella Jay Basco and [director] Cathy Yan:
We bonded in a different way. I think that there was an immediate understanding between the women. We could all recognise that, ‘This is sick. We’re the chicks, and we get to do this shit. This is awesome.’”
That ready-made connection may be crucial to the movie’s success, and it’s one Robbie said was already present early on: “We didn’t really need to work at finding a bond, because we kind of all clicked to begin with. And we also did chemistry reads beforehand. So we all bounced off each other quickly and easily.”
Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) hits theaters on February 7, 2020.
A couple of news items have been released ever since Mary along with the Birds of Prey cast hit CCXP in Brazil last week. First up (and most importantly), yesterday at last night’s video game awards, a TV spot was shown for the upcoming film that hits theaters on February 7 and you can watch that clip below:
Also, Margot Robbie spoke with Collider on how the film came to be while on the set of 2016’s Suicide Squad:
“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. It really started with Huntress. I just loved Huntress, and with my initial pitch on the story, I said I wanted to keep it quite contained, get no bigger, and no world-ending stakes. Like the stakes were as big as perhaps mafia level or gang level. That’s when I started reading a lot of Huntress comics, obviously coming from a mafia family, and found her story. Plus, I always gravitate… well, not always, but I do often gravitate towards a revenge story because it is so straight forward, but you are so clearly motivated.”
In other news, Birds of Prey is IMDB’s top choice for the most anticipated film of 2020 according to The Wrap.
Two new Birds of Prey posters have been released by Warner Bros and you can view them in the gallery! I’ve been loving all these new pics. They’re all so unique and very pretty! In related news, the cast and director attended a press conference yesterday (December 6) and I have also uploaded a bunch of photos from that event as well.
Posters
Lots of brand new photos and info have been released in the last few hours now that the Birds of Prey cast attended today’s CCXP (or Brazil Comic-Con). The cast along with director Cathy Yan were greeted by thousands of cheering fans and at the event, a brand new trailer was shown as well as the opening sequence to the film!
I have added the first couple of photos of Mary with the rest of her cast mates at the event into the gallery as well as a brand new character poster of Mary as Huntress! Be sure to check back soon for even more photos and (hopefully!!) the trailer!
Additionally while speaking at CCXP, Mary said she felt “incredibly honored and proud” to play Huntress because to her she is “the ultimate bad ass.”

Aside from wrapping up in early December, I have no new info on the project…for the time being. Now onto the good stuff!
