With a Birds of Prey movie long confirmed to be in development, a director has been found for the female-centric DC effort.

As per Deadline, Cathy Yan has reportedly been selected to helm Birds of Prey, with the only confirmed cast member being Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn at this stage. Yan is best known for the Dead Pigs feature which nabbed the World Cinematic Dramatic Award for Ensemble Acting at Sundance earlier this year, and it’s believed that Robbie is a huge supporter of the director.

In terms of what we know about Birds of Prey – which is just the loose title for the female-heavy effort right now – the only concrete detail, as mentioned, is that Robbie will be back as the Maid of Mischief. Previously, it was rumoured that Barbara Gordon, Catwoman, and Black Canary could well be the ones to make-up the rest of the Birds of Prey line-up , although that remains simply speculation right now.

Following her DCEU debut in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, Robbie’s Quinzell was lined up for a whole host of further big-screen outings. At this point in time, there’s Gavin O’Connor’s Suicide Squad 2, a twisted romance movie alongside her beloved Joker, and the similarly female-themed Gotham City Sirens that could include names such as Poison Ivy, Zatanna, and Huntress in addition to the aforementioned Birds of Prey team.

Right now, the current word is that the David Ayer-helmed Sirens has been pushed to the back of the line. Initially, the Suicide Squad sequel was to be the next film to feature Harleen, but now Birds of Prey has been made the priority picture, with Robbie to start work on it as soon as she’s finished with Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

As ever, expect more on all of the many, many DCEU projects in various stages of development as they continue to flesh out.
