DC's BATGIRL Movie Will Reportedly Set Up the BLACK CANARY Solo Movie
It was previously announced that WB and DC were developing a Black Canary solo film for Disney+. Jurnee Smollett is set to reprise her role from Birds of Prey, and Lovecraft Country showrunner Misha Green is writing the script.
I just assumed that Birds of Prey is the film that set this whole thing up, but that might actually not be the case. According to a recent report from movie scooper RPK, a.k.a. Daniel Ritchman, the Batgirl film that’s currently in development will actually be the movie to set up the Black Canary film. This is the tweet that was sent out.
There are no other details to share, but this bit of news reveals that these DC HBO Max film are going to be more linked and interconnected than we thought. I also like that Batgirl and Black Canary will be fighting alongside each other in Batgirl at some point.
I liked Jurnee Smollett’s version of Black Canary, and I would love to see a great and exciting story build around her in this solo film. I’m sure we’ll finds out soon enough what is being planned for her.
