‘Birds of Prey’ Director Wants To See Harley Quinn And Poison Ivy Team Up

Margot Robbie Harley Quinn Poison Ivy Birds of Prey The Suicide Squad

Birds of Prey director Cathy Yan is interested in seeing Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy team up.

With Birds of Prey on the heels of being released, director Cathy Yan is interested in what’s next for Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn. One of the biggest successes from the DCEU, there’s no way that Warner Bros. isn’t interested in continuing Margot Robbie’s take on Harley Quinn. However, the question now lies in who exactly Harley Quinn will be crossing paths with post-Birds of Prey. For director Cathy Yan, that answer could potentially be Poison Ivy.

Speaking with The Wrap, Birds of Prey director Cathy Yan discussed how she’s interested in seeing Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy on the big-screen together.

 “I would love to see Poison Ivy and I would certainly love to see the relationship between Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.”

The duo of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy has become recently popular thanks to Harley Quinn, the animated show on DC’s streaming service that frequently sees the both teaming up together. We haven’t seen Poison Ivy on the big-screen since 1997’s much-maligned Batman and Robin, which had Uma Thurman in the role. As for what’s next for Harley Quinn, the Birds of Prey director was asked if there’s another solo Harley Quinn movie in the books.

“I don’t know — I think people aren’t ready to let go of Harley Quinn quite yet and you know, Margot I don’t think is ready to let go of Harley Quinn yet either, so… hopefully.”

Margot Robbie will be returning to the role of Harley Quinn in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, though none of the members of Birds of Prey have been said to be starring in that film. Birds of Prey is set to be quite the success at the box-office and with Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn at the height of her popularity, it’s almost certain she’ll be returning to the big screen, hopefully alongside fan favorite Poison Ivy. With respect to Birds of Prey, we found it to be Harley Quinn at her best, and a violently hilarious time at the movies.

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. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for all the latest news on Birds of Prey, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn.
