Directed by Cathy Yan and written by Christina Hodson, Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Story of Harley Quinn is an action-adventure film centered on one of the DC Universe's most unpredictable anti-heroines: Harley Quinn. Played by the charismatic Margot Robbie, Harley Quinn surrounds herself with an unexpected group to face the dangerous criminal Roman Sionis. The film brings together an impressive cast, with Mary Elizabeth Winstead as the Huntress, Jurnee Smollett as Black Canary, and Rosie Perez as Detective Renee Montoya, for an alliance as surprising as it is explosive.
Birds of Prey and the fantabulous story of Harley Quinn will air on Netflix from November 14, 2024.
Synopsis: You know the story of the cop, the songbird, the nutcase and the Mafia princess? Birds of Prey (and the fantabulous Harley Quinn story) is a wacky tale told by Harley herself - in a way that only she knows how. When Roman Sionis, Gotham's most nefarious - and narcissistic - enemy, and his loyal sidekick Zsasz decide to go after a certain Cass, the city is combed for the girl's whereabouts. The paths of Harley, the Huntress, Black Canary and Renee Montoya collide, and this unlikely quartet has no choice but to team up to eliminate Roman...
With its lively action scenes and wicked sense of humor, Birds of Prey will appeal to superhero movie fans and fans of characters from the DC Comics universe. Those who enjoyed Suicide Squad will find here a more independent Harley Quinn, freed from the constraints of her toxic relationship with the Joker. Fans of urban intrigue and strong women may also enjoy this story of revenge, survival and solidarity. The dark, quirky world of Gotham, revisited here in a colorful pop style, gives the film an aesthetic that could appeal to fans of stylized comics and visually dynamic adventures. On the other hand, those who prefer a serious tone or classic narrative might find the film too eccentric.
Birds of Prey stands out for its unique approach to storytelling, taking the perspective of Harley Quinn, allowing immersion in her unstable and unpredictable universe. This narrative choice offers a messy but sincere vision of the Gotham universe, while introducing new female figures to the DC franchise. The film also marks a first for Margot Robbie, who takes on a producer's role here, reflecting her personal involvement in the development of her iconic character.
With an explosive mix of action, humor and madness, Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Story of Harley Quinnwilldelight fans of superhero tales while offering a unique dive into the mind of Harley Quinn. For those who enjoy DC movies and colorful characters, this adventure promises an entertaining and original experience.
