Harley Quinn / Batgirl / Birds of Prey Movie in the Works at Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. is already proving to be ahead of the curve by having next year's Wonder Woman serve as the first female-led superhero movie of the modern, post-Iron Man era, and now the studio has yet another female-centric superhero film in the works. Per THR, Warner Bros. is developing a film revolving around Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn character from the upcoming Suicide Squad, as well as a number of other female heroes and villains. So while Robbie's Harley Quinn sounds like she'll be the anchor for the feature, this may not exactly be a Harley Quinn movie per se.

Robbie is attached to star in and produce the picture, which is being kept under firm wraps as THR couldn't even find out who's penning the script beyond the revelation that the project has a female writer onboard. In addition to the villainous Harley Quinn, other characters are expected to get the spotlight, with Batgirl and Birds of Prey bandied about as possibilities.

Apparently Robbie was the impetus for getting this project off the ground, as she grew to love a number of DC characters during her comics research for the role of Harley Quinn. She found a writer and brought the project to Warner Bros., which immediately sparked to the idea of spinning off the Harley Quinn character into a female-centric DC Extended Universe film.
