The Birds of Prey movie has found its Renee Montoya and, we’re not going t lie, it’s an unexpected choice.
Academy Award nominee Rosie Perez has nabbed the role and joins the returning Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and newly cast Jurnee Smollett-Bell and Mary Elizabeth Winstead who have been cast as Black Canary and Huntress.
We had imagined Montoya as a much younger character with Perez being 54, however, given that we have an older Commissioner Gordon in the movies, then it makes sense.

In addition, it seems it’s been confirmed that the villain in the movie will indeed be Black Mask.
Cathy Yan is set to direct the movie which swoops in on February 7th, 2020..
