Everyone knows that ordering drinks at the bar can be an uphill battle. For starters, it feels as if you're always having to shout your order, hoping to break the thump and hum of whatever music is blasting overhead. Second, it often takes forever to get a bartender's attention, so patience is key. Third, watch those tabs, people. Leaving your credit card at the bar is a fine way to wrack up some unintentional debt for the month, particularly if you've had an off day and are aiming to drown your woes in drink and merriment. With all of that and more in mind, allow me to ask you some questions: How do you think procuring drinks would pan out if Harley Quinn was your bartender? If you look at her wrong or venture into Creeper territory, can you expect there to be poison inside your glass? Should you find a photo of adorable hyena pups on your phone and hold it aloft like some beacon that signals you as a friendly customer? How much do you tip Daddy's Little Monster, lest you want to end up with a mallet to your breadbasket? These are all things to consider, should you ever find Harls on the opposite end of a bar table. Please remember to order and drink with caution.
Today the Harley Quinn Updates Twitter account has served up a batch of new images from the set of Cathy Yan's BIRDS OF PREY (AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN). In the first round of photos, we find Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn decked out in streamer-laden finery, carrying a tray of what looks like Poison Apple Green margaritas. Beneath her jacket that looks as if it came from Bjork's personal collection, we find Puddin' Pie wearing striped Daisy Dukes and a Flamingo Pink top. Wait … are those Doc Martin's or just a random pair of stylish boots? It's a little difficult to tell. Regardless, our girl is lookin' good as she brings the party to a nearby booth.
The second round of pics features Margot Robbie and Ella Jay Basco, who plays Cassandra Cain in the upcoming female-led superhero film, driving around town in a ramshackle Canary Yellow car. Harley's at the wheel, which I'm not so sure is a great idea, so maybe you just don't go for a walk that day, yeah?
The final photo, posted just moments ago, takes us back to the bar, but this time Robbie is joined by the film's director, Cathy Yan.
When BIRDS OF PREY (AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN) arrives in theaters, the movie will feature Robbie reprising her role as Harley Quinn, with Elizabeth Winstead as Huntress, Ella Jay Basco as Cassandra Cain and Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary also set to star. Joining the ladies in their first big screen adventure as a fierce fighting unit of femme fatales is Ewan McGregor as the villain Black Mask, Chris Messina as Victor Zsasz and Rosie Perez as Renee Montoya. Ali Wong, Robert Catrini, Steven Williams and Derek WIlson also star.
Here's the official synopsis for BIRDS OF PREY (AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN) thus far:
After splitting with the Joker, Harley Quinn joins superheroes Black Canary, Huntress and Renee Montoya to save a young girl from an evil crime lord.
With Cathy Yan behind the camera, who will direct from a script penned by Christina Hodson, BIRDS OF PREY (AND THE FANTABULOUS EMANCIPATION OF ONE HARLEY QUINN) is expected to kick in theater doors beginning on February 7, 2020.
