‘Birds of Prey’ is one of the great upcoming movies DC Comics Cinematic Universe is betting on for 2020, and it seems that Warner Bros wants this movie to be successful. Therefore, when the production process has gained some ground, the filmmaker Chad Stahelski, a specialist in coordinating action scenes and director of the three John Wick movie series , has joined the film team.
As The Hollywood Reporter describes, the film is in the process of making its additional reshoots for the premiere coming on February 7, 2020, and it is in this new phase that it has been decided to turn to Stahelski. The filmmaker will participate in the new shootings related to the action scenes, mainly in the second shooting unit. It is unknown what compensation Warner Bros will give him in the final credits, but, in essence, the director of John Wick will be responsible for designing new action scenes for the film. However, Stahelski’s specialist company, 87 Eleven, has been working on ‘Birds of Prey’ since production began. This strategy demonstrates Warner Bros.’s intentions to make these action scenes more spectacular and offer a level like the one we saw in the ‘John Wick’ saga, which has been so well received by the public.
Just like in ‘Suicide Squad,’ we will get to see Margot Robbie again playing Harley Quinn. In addition, the film is directed by debutant Cathy Yan, Quinn will join three other heroines (Black Canary, Huntress and Renée Montoya) to save a girl (Cassandra Cain) from the evil crime king Black Mask.
