Cathy Yan, the filmmaker behind the DC Comics film, told Screenrant that while the character isn’t portrayed in the movie, his influence remains palpable.
Quinn is portrayed in Birds of Prey as the emancipated ex of the Joker, portrayed in the 2016 Suicide Squad by Jared Leto.
The director of Birds of Prey has opened up about the Joker’s impact on Harley Quinn’s story.
Birds of Prey will see Quinn join forces with three other female characters portrayed by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, and Rosie Perez.
