Following last nights announcement that Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Jurnee Smollett-Bell have joined the cast of Birds of Prey talk has turned to who will play the movies villain.
This morning we’re hearing rumours that Sam Rockwell has passed on the role. A role being tipped as a Gotham crime lord and which we are hearing is none other than Black Mask.
With Rockwell out of the picture rumours from journalist Justin Kroll point towards the studio looking for a bigger name to take on the role. Kroll mentions that veteran actor Ewan McGreggor is in the picture but the studio is believed to only just be reaching out to other actors regarding the role.
Still have Renee Montoya and Cassandra Cain's roles to cast as well as the crime lord up against the team. Hearing names like Sharlto and Ewan McGreggor are actors they like for the role but have only started meeting actors for that part https://t.co/OaVfpTfkyM
