Margot Robbie's "Birds Of Prey" (DC) Official Thread

[prophecypro]

They need to stop bullshytting and just give the Black Canary role to Gugu.

I could see either Justine Machado or Roberta Colindrez as Renee Montoya but I am not feeling any of those chicks that were mentioned for the Huntress role.

Where's these Gifs from?

‘Birds of Prey’ Adds Jurnee Smollett-Bell and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Black Canary and Huntress

faaaaaaam.. ITS LIT

The Ladies REALLY out here saving the DCEU , brazyyyyyyyy

 

[Brandeezy]

So cacs really mad that BC isn't a blonde white woman and Huntress isn't played by an Italian you can't make this up

Black Canary originally wore a blonde wig until she decided to bleach her hair blonde. Huntress is your stereotypical Italian white woman from NYC who's daddy is a Mob boss. Any white actress could play the role. The Huntress on Arrow was played by an Australian

I never thought of Winstead for Huntress but she's a good actress and will likely kill the role.
I preferred Gugu but Jurnee is cool and it still means the neckbeards and Comic-Gaters will be whining over the fact that Black Canary is black which entertains me immensely.

fukk that's some great casting

Was pulling for Gugu, but not against Jurnee at all.

Let me find out the ladies are gonna save the DCEU...

Shouldn't be too surprised if you look at what WB's been doing both in and out of DC.

- This year, Ocean's 8 made ~$300 mill on a $70 budget. That's a film with a similar appeal to BoP making back 4x its production cost. On top of that, they got Crazy Rich Asians, another female centered movie, tearing it up for them right now.
- Biggest successes of the DCEU thus far are Wonder Woman (movie and Gal Gadot's portrayal of the character) and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn.
- The DCCW universe is full of popular female characters and that shyt is has been going strong for 7 years now. They've already got Supergirl and their next big TV productions are going to be Batwoman and Stargirl (though the latter is for their streaming service).
- Revived Young Justice when that show was documented as having a larelgy female fanbase.
- In the comics, they been making big play for the female audience and introducing new female characters. Characters like Jessica Cruz and Mera have been getting big pushes in the comics to prep audiences to see them in other DC media like Superhero Girls and Aquaman.

Basically, Warner's knows where their bread is about to be buttered in this superhero shyt. I'm all for it, honestly. DC has a pretty deep bench for female characters.

None of these women are black though. They are all passing the paper bag test unfortunately.

They’re all biracial.

Granted this time they were looking for a biracial actress for Canary, but let’s not act as if they wouldn’t cast the same exact kind of woman if they were looking for a “black actress”.

They better not fukk up Vixen.

I think Janelle Monae would make a good Vixen.

The white nerd tears for a non white woman playing a (fictional) white character.
