Don't call Birds of Prey a sequel. Despite Margot Robbie returning to cinemas as Harley Quinn from 2016's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Suicide Squad, the upcoming 🎃movie has little to do with David Ayer's anitihero🎐 team-up.
"It's very♐ much like the comic books where you pick up in a tot♏ally different place, and it doesn't directly link to what happened before," Robbie tells our sister publication . "But at the same time it's not such a leap that you're like, 'Oh, what's going on?!'"
Director Cathy Yan adds that Birds of Prey is "definitely a standalone movie" with fleeting connections to Suicide Squad, such as Harle♕y having the same mallet. "It was really fun to create our own movie, and to ඣnot feel like it had to be a sequel or a continuation of Suicide Squad," she says.
There is, however, still the question of how both Birds of Prey and the 2016 Suicide Squad will relate to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, which is heading to cinemas in 2021. Another rulebook-shredder, the movie will play fast an🌜d loose with standard sequel convention. Robbie describes that film as another different ‘iteration’ that won’t be a direct follow-on, much like how comics 𓂃would chop and change.
“Tonally, David Ayer’s world looks different to [Birds’] world, which will look different to James’s world," she says. "So, no, there&rsꦓquo;s not a direct connection. But like the comics, it doesn’t cancel out one or the other.”
Robbie, Yan and the cast speak in ♏detail about the movie with for the latest issue’s cover feature. The new issue hits shelves on December ꧅20. Birds of Prey opens in cinemas on February 7.
