The comic has the characters Black Canary, Batgirl, Huntress, Poison Ivy and Catwoman teaming up with Quinn and others. It hasn’t been confirmed that all of these characters will be in the film, but reportedly it will be a female-driven movie. Robbie’s character first made her appearance in Suicide Squad co starring with Will Smith and Viola Davis.

Patty Jerkins, director of Wonder Woman, was the first woman and now Ava Duvernay is set to direct DC’s The New Gods. The script was written by Christina Hodson, who was recently chosen to write the Batgirl movie.
