‘Gotham City Sirens’ confirmed by WB with Margot Robbie, director David Ayer
Ayer will direct and produce the project with Robbie reprising her role as Harley Quinn, the part-time girlfriend of the Joker who is currently DC’s most popular female character. Robbie also is executive producing.
Sirens was a recent comic series from DC that focused on the popular villainesses from Batman’s rogue gallery. Among them were Quinn; Catwoman, Batman’s sometime love interest; and Poison Ivy, who uses plants and their toxins to get what she wants.
Geneva Robertson-Dworet, a top female writer in the action sphere who also has penned scripts for the Tomb Raider remake and Warners’ own Sherlock Holmes 3, is writing the screenplay.
Geoff Johns and Jon Berg will be involved as producers.
The studio is still developing a Suicide Squad sequel as well as looking into a spin-off featuring Deadshot, the assassin character played by Will Smith.
Warner Bros. doesn’t have a release date for Sirens, but the project is now on the fast track.
