We reported last week that word was we were set for a Black Canary series on HBO Max with Birds of Prey star Jurnee Smollett set to reprise the role (here).
It seems we were half right as it’s not a series but rather a Black Canary movie.
The star herself took to Twitter (below), writing: “Guess the Canary is out of the cage! 🤪 So excited to finally embark on this adventure with my creative soul sis @MishaGreen”
Misha Green and Smullett have worked together before, with Green acting as writer and showrunner on Lovecraft Country, however, it’s unclear what role Green will be taking on the Black Canary movie.
What we do know is that Smollett will be reprising her role as Dinah Lance, AKA Black Canary, the role that she played in the pretty dire, though she was great in it, Birds of Prey movie.
At this stage we don’t know if we’ll see Margot Robbie back as Harley Quinn or any of the other cast from that movie but it’s likely we can’t rule anything out at this stage.
An exciting rumor currently states that the movie will introduce the DCEU’s version of Oliver Queen AKA Green Arrow, setting up a HBO Max Green Arrow movie and/or series.
The movie joins HBO Max’s impressive line-up of DC movies and shows including Constantine, Blue Beetle, Batgirl, GCPD and more.
No word on when we can expect to see the movie appear on the streaming service, but we’re already looking forward to the DCEU continuing to grow on the small and large screens.
Thoughts? We want to hear them all.
Guess the Canary is out of the cage! 🤪 So excited to finally embark on this adventure with my creative soul sis @MishaGreen. 🖤💛 #blackcanary #dinahlance #lettttssssssgoooooo ahhhhhhhhh!!!!! https://t.co/GocuNdEn6E

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
