“They did let us go pretty far,” said Hodson. Their final take was inspired by “Trainspotting” and “True Romance,” and they pitched the studio in 2015, before “Suicide Squad” was finished. They raided the DC library, ingesting stacks of comics, texting each other their favorite storylines and panels.
From their first meeting, Robbie and Hodson pursued an unfettered Gotham with Quinn at its center. The actress developed the script with writer Christina Hodson (“Batgirl”) and eventually, in-house producer Sue Kroll, the former Warners marketing chief. Margot Robbie wanted “Birds of Prey” to be R rated. Here’s how this female-empowering action comedy turned out so well, yet floundered at the box office. Robbie is a gifted action comedienne with danger in her veins. Written, directed, and produced by women (including Robbie), “Birds of Prey” is cohesive and visually entertaining.

That movie was critic proof, opening to $134 million, and as the pink-and-blue pigtailed roller-skating Harley Quinn, Robbie became a global movie star.

David Ayer’s PG-13 “Suicide Squad” was a series of violent, percussive action scenes of predictable and often nonsensical mayhem. Now the film has been hastily renamed “Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey,” in hopes that the clearer title, and its improved SEO, will mean a healthier gross. However, “Birds of Prey,” opened last weekend to $33.3 million, well below box-office expectations of $45 million-$55 million, based on preview testing (88% in the top two boxes for women, 86% people under 30), upbeat fanboy and media reactions, and (clearly inflated) advance tracking. Even Todd Phillips’ risky R-rated origin myth “Joker,” starring Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix as a mentally ill chaos agent, turned into a $1 billion global home run.Īnd then there’s the film formerly known as “ Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn),” a title that distanced itself from the DC film that introduced Margot Robbie as Quinn, 2016 box-office smash “Suicide Squad” ($746 million worldwide, with its own James Gunn reboot in the works for 2021).

The film also includes Chris Messina as self-mutilating serial killer Mr. “Birds of Prey” picks up where “Suicide Squad” left off, with Harley having left the Joker’s clutches to team up with Black Canary, Huntress, and Renee Montoya to save Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco) from Black Mask (McGregor). Along with, of course, Margot Robbie in the role of Harley Quinn, which she originated in 2016’s “Suicide Squad.” Not only is the film directed by a woman, Yan, it features Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Huntress, Rosie Perez as Renee Montoya, and Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary. The candy-colored film - which this month finally released a first trailer - looks to be a show-stopping display of female power. More directly, McGregor said that the film takes on “mansplaining… and it’s in the script in a very subtle way.
