Part of the aspect of Canary imho was being Blonde. Ya know, like Canary yellow.

Is it me or has Mary Elizabeth Winstead not aged too well? Also what happened to Daddario?

Apparently the working title is "Fox Force Five".

If Umu Thurman is allowed to make a corny pun joke at the end of it, I'm all good.

Oh, and those of you who don't know what I'm talking about need to ketchup on their movie references.

 

[Otaku-sempai]

Ketchup? If that's a pun then I am Royalely confused.

Speaking of a good Black Canary for this DCEU with an elder Batman; Uma might work. Not gonna happen, but would be cool.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the movie will be released on February 7th, 2020.

You know I just realized that if they do hold to this actually filming in January next year to come out February the year after that THIS will be the first female focused comic book movie of... well let's face it any significant worth that will actually be set in current time. With Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, Dark Phoenix and for some reason supposedly Black Widow all being "prequels" of some kind this will be the first one to actually feature a current setting albeit one where we're not really sure how it fits into whatever the Worlds of DC/DCEU overall plans are.

Still waiting on the first modern-day female solo movie .

Casting news from Deadline. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is Huntress, and Jurnee Smollett-Bell is Black Canary.

 

[Gold Guy]

Black Canary and Huntress are two of my favorite DC superheroines, so I'm excited to see their big screen debut.

Casting news from Deadline. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is Huntress, and Jurnee Smollett-Bell is Black Canary.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead should be solid as Huntress, although I've usually seen her with short hair so I wonder if she'll wear a wig or grow out her hair for Helean's traditionally long, dark, locks ?

I have no frame of reference for Jurnee Smollett-Bell other then the fact that she is from all appearances a very gorgeous woman, so I have no idea what kind of a Black Canary she'll be. I do feel like WB is being a little too on the nose with the codename with this casting .

 

[Yojimbo]

Batman will be absent in the events of the movie reportedly.

Sharlto Copley and Ewan McGregor reported to be on WB's list to be Black Mask.

Winstead I'm more familar with of the two. Just saw 10 Cloverfield Lane on TV on the other day.

I hope Smollett-Bell doesn't get harassed as much as Diop for Starfire on the Titans show.

 

[Fone Bone]

I hope she doesn't get harassed at ALL. That was appalling. Fanboys have no class.

Is that how they're going to get around explaining where Batman is during these spinoffs ?

Sharlto Copley and Ewan McGregor reported to be on WB's list to be Black Mask.

Ewan McGregor would be an interesting Black Mask...

I hope Smollett-Bell doesn't get harassed as much as Diop for Starfire on the Titans show.

Agreed.

I personally wish they would've stayed truer to the comics as far as casting, but that's no excuse to harass a woman online, especially just for the color of her skin .

Granted, I hope Smollett-Bell gets a better costume as Dinah then Diop has for Starfire .

 

[RoyalRubble]

Winstead was one of the few names I was actually somewhat familiar with from all the lists rumored lately.

Speaking of which, The Wrap has an interview with Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

They can use the 'out of town on League stuff' card now.

 

[RoyalRubble]

Paraphrasing Static Shock -

"Where's Batman?"
"With the League. You'll meet them someday."

Glad to see she's looking forward to the role, although I hope she gets some crossbow training rather then your typical bow .

 

[Frontier]

Rosie Perez (Let's do the Right Thing, White Men Can't Jump) has been cast as Renee Montoya.

I didn't expect that. Okay.
