‘Birds of Prey’ New Trailer Gives Harley Quinn the R-Rated Movie She Deserves

By BreAnna Bell

LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) – Recently split from the Joker, Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn — after a brief Cheez Whiz bender — proves she no longer needs her mastermind ex-boyfriend (played by Jared Leto) in the new, kickass “Birds of Prey” trailer. Instead, she opts to build her own team of female superheroes, including Black Canary, Huntress and a cop.

“He’s after all of us,” she tells the group. “You betrayed him. You killed his BFF. And you’re dumb enough to be building a case against him. So unless we all want to die very unpleasant deaths, we’re going to have to work together.”

Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Rosie Perez star alongside Robbie. Their characters work together to save a young girl from the warlord Black Mask (Ewan McGregor), who has it out for all of them.

Coupled with explosive scenes, footage of Harley Quinn’s pet hyena in a bathtub (named Bruce after the “hunky Wayne guy”) and a burlesque number featuring Harley Quinn in song and dance, the film adds an R rating to the conventional superhero storyline.

Directed by Cathy Yan and written by Christina Hodson, “ (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)” hits theaters on Feb. 7.
