DC's Birds of Prey Will Shoot Next After Wonder Woman 1984?

TheBirds of Preymovie could very well be the next DC movie to film afterWonder Woman 1984, according to new reports. Warner Bros. and DC Films have undergone some major behind-the-scenes changes over the past few months, leading to a lot of mystery surrounding current projects that are in development. While the status of Matt Reeves’The Batmanisn’t clear, it appears that DC is marching forward with their Harley Quinn-ledBirds of Prey, which will star Margot Robbie. Robbie’s Harley Quinn has been at the forefront of DC since the release ofSuicide Squadin 2016.

According to Omega Underground, theBirds of Preyproduction has been looking for places in Los Angeles, California as well as Atlanta and Savannah, Georgia to film in for an early 2019 start. Additionally, Discussing Film reports that the movie will begin production in January of 2019, which backs up previous claims thatBirds of Preywas going to begin filming soon. This would mean that the project will be the next Warner Bros. and DC Films project to go into production afterWonder Woman 2.

As with most reports, theBirds of Preyproduction start has not been officially confirmed by anyone in the cast or DC. It was originally rumored thatSuicide Squad 2was going to go into production this fall, but that’s obviously not happening. However, it is heavily rumored thatBirds of Preywill be the next time that we see Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn on the big screen, which is exciting for DC fans who have eagerly been awaiting her return and probably means that it’s going to happen sooner rather than later.

Margot Robbie’s portrayal of the villainous Harley Quinn was seen as one of the few bright spots to 2016’sSuicide Squad. While Robbie will undoubtedly be involved if and when the project goes into production, not much else is clear aboutBirds of Prey, including which characters will be chosen to fill out the rest of the cast. Cathy Yan is attached to direct a script by Christina Hodson, but that’s about it as far as specific information aboutBirds of Preyis concerned. If the January production start date ends up being true, casting is more than likely happening right now to meet that production start time.

IfBirds of Preyfeatures Batgirl, which it pretty much has to, the film could go on to launch other standalone movies within Warner Bros. and DC Films. Not much about the project is clear at this time, but DC practically has Hall H too itself this year at San Diego Comic-Con, so hopefully more information is given during the convention. Thankfully, the Comic-Con is only a few weeks away, so we could have some new intel very soon. For now, you can head over to Omega Underground for more information about the production start date of theBirds of Prey Movie.
