Published by

Spunky, funky and punky best describes the first trailer for Birds of Prey, starring Academy Award nominee Margot Robbie (I, Tonya) as Harley Quinn, getting her own spinoff from 2017’s Suicide Squad, who sits firmly between Madonna in Who’s That Girl and Lori Petty in Tank Girl with her New Yawk via Gotham accent and feisty demeanor.

After splitting with the Joker, Harley Quinn joins superheroes Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett), Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and Renee Montoya (Academy Award nominee Rosie Perez) to save a young girl (Ella Jay Basco) from an evil crime lord (Ewan McGregor). Ali Wong and Chris Messina co-star in the Cathy Yan-directed film, written by Christina Hodson, based on the DC Comic created by Chuck Dixon, Jordan B. Gorfinkel and Greg Land.

Birds of Prey hits theaters February 7, 2020 from Warner Bros. Here’s the first trailer.

Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
