David Ayer and Margot Robbie Reteam for Gotham City Sirens

Fiendish Female Foes!

By Ashley Samuel

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Suicide Squad director David Ayer will reunite with his Harley Quinn - Margot Robbie and helm a Gotham City Sirens film! DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. had previously revealed plans to introduce more female characters from the DC Comics library after the positive audience reaction to Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman and Robbie's Harley Quinn. If the film follows the comic book of the same name it's fairly likely that we will see new live-action versions of Poison Ivy and Catwoman as well.

We're sure to see Ben Affleck's Batman feature and other female Bat-Family heroes could feature like Batgirl and Huntress. It will certainly be an interesting story to watch unfold as DC are planning a sequel to Suicide Squad and a solo spin-off film featuring Will Smith's Deadshot. All those films could form an interconnected story to run alongside the more epic in scope Justice League films.

Margot Robbie's stock has risen after the box office success of Suicide Squad and will also executive produce Gotham City Sirens alongside Ayer. Jon Berg and Geoff Johns, will be continuing their new roles as creative leads on the DCEU and will assist producing the film.

The next DC extended universe film will be Director Patty Jenkin's Wonder Woman - set for release June 2, 2017 - followed by Zack Snyder's Justice League film - set for release November 17th, 2017.
