Birds of Prey Star Mary Elizabeth Winstead Wants to Return as Huntress in Black Canary Movie


Fans are already excited for the Black Canary movie that will bring back Jurnee Smollett's feisty burlesque singer. But what are the chances that we'll get to see some of Smollett's Birds of Prey co-stars? Mary Elizabeth Winstead has admitted that she wants to join the film and play the Huntress all over again.

Winstead had worked with Smollett on Birds of Prey and their characters even ended up in a vigilante team with Renee Montoya by the end of the film. When the Black Canary film was announced, fans speculated that Helena Bertinelli will also join the HBO Max project. However, Winstead's involvement has not yet been announced.

It might not yet be official but the Scott Pilgrim vs The World star is eager to be part of Black Canary.

"If it came together in the right way, it would be so much fun," Winstead told The Hollywood Reporter. She then admitted that she is excited about Smollett's new project.

"She's amazing and she's going to kill that, so I can't wait to see where that goes," Winstead said. "I don't know if that's going to involve Huntress or not, but I love that character and I love the version that we were able to create in Birds of Prey."

We love Winstead's Huntress as well and it would be great to see her action again in the near future. However, the 10 Cloverfield Lane star is either not involved with Black Canary or she's doing her best to keep her involvement secret. It may only be a matter of time before the truth is confirmed. There is even a possibility that we could see other Birds of Prey characters like Renee, Cassie Kane, or Harley Quinn so stay tuned for more updates on this story.
