Warner Bros. screened a new Birds of Prey trailer at CCXP Brazil that revealed a comic-accurate look for Ewan McGregor’s Black Mask.
Warner Bros.’ next entry in the DC Extended Universe will be Birds of Prey, a team-up film that finds Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn joining forces with Huntress and Black Canary. Initiating the conflict that brings these women together is the notorious crime boss Roman Sionis, a.k.a. Black Mask, with Ewan McGregor in the role of the classic Batman villain.
However, promotional material for Birds of Prey has not shown Ewan McGregor’s Roman Sionis with an iconic black mask for the villain is best known for wearing. Fortunately, CCXP Brazil attendees were able to see the new trailer for Birds of Prey and the new footage confirmed Ewan McGregor’s Roman Sionis will wear a comic-accurate version of the famous black mask.

Here is the official synopsis for Birds of Prey:
“You ever hear the one about the cop, the songbird, the psycho and the mafia princess? Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is a twisted tale told by Harley herself, as only Harley can tell it. When Gotham’s most nefariously narcissistic villain, Roman Sionis, and his zealous right-hand, Zsasz, put a target on a young girl named Cass, the city is turned upside down looking for her. Harley, Huntress, Black Canary and Renee Montoya’s paths collide, and the unlikely foursome have no choice but to team up to take Roman down.”
Directed by Cathy Yan from a script penned by Bumblebee writer Christina Hodson, Birds of Prey stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Huntress, Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary, Ella Jay Basco as Cassandra Cain, Rosie Perez as Renee Montoya, Chris Messina as Victor Zsasz, Ewan McGregor as Black Mask, and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. Ali Wong, Robert Catrini, and Michael Masini have also been cast in undisclosed roles.
Birds of Prey will be released in theaters on February 7, 2020.
