Every DCEU Character Who Could Appear In The Black Canary Movie

A Black Canary movie starring Jurnee Smollett is in development, and here are the other DC Extended Universe characters who could return. Audiences were introduced to Smollett’s version of Dinah Lance (aka Black Canary) in 2020’s Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). It was there that Black Canary was featured as a member of Black Mask’s gang before betraying him to become a hero using her Canary Cry.

Following Black Canary’s DCEU debut, she immediately became a fan-favorite among Birds of Prey’s great cast of characters. Fans began campaigning for her to get an HBO Max series shortly thereafter. Warner Bros. and DC Films heard those calls and answered them by putting an HBO Max Black Canary solo movie starring Smollett in early development for the streaming service. Smollett is returning to star as Dinah Lance for the film, with Misha Green writing the script after already working with Smollett on HBO’s Lovecraft Country. Black Canary does not currently have a release date or director attached though.

Even though it is known that Smollett will star in Black Canary, the remaining cast and characters is still a mystery. The film will likely introduce some other characters from the comics to the DCEU for the first time. However, Black Canary is also a great opportunity for other DCEU characters to make a return. Whether that means other Birds of Prey cast and characters or various heroes and villains from other properties, it’s hard to say. Either way, here are the DCEU characters who could return for Black Canary.

Harley Quinn

Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn could be among the most popular DCEU characters to return in Black Canary. Following her own debut in Suicide Squad, WB and DC moved to give Harley a solo film, which turned into Birds of Prey. Even though Harley has most recently appeared in The Suicide Squad, she already has ties to Black Canary through the all-female team-up. Harley’s whereabouts after The Suicide Squad are unknown, so she can pop up again fairly easily in Black Canary no matter if the plot is centralized to Gotham, Star City, or somewhere else.

Huntress

There is also a strong possibility that Mary Elizabeth Winstead could return as Huntress (or Helena Bertinelli) in Black Canary. The last surviving member of the Bertinelli Family became a deadly vigilante in pursuit of revenge on Black Mask’s gang for their role in killing her family. By the end of Birds of Prey though, Helena was working side-by-side with Dinah. They helped form the Birds of Prey team and were last seen fighting crime together in Gotham. While Black Canary could focus on Dinah’s solo superhero career, the DCEU has already set up an ongoing team-up with Huntress. Fans loved Winstead’s portrayal of Huntress in Birds of Prey too, so bringing her back in the Black Canary spinoff would be a smart move.

Renee Montoya

Speaking of Huntress and Black Canary’s team, Rosie Perez’s Renee Montoya was the team’s third and final member by the end of Birds of Prey. The former Gotham City Police Department detective quit the force by the time the film’s credits rolled and turned to vigilantism to get justice. Black Canary won’t be a true Birds of Prey team reunion without her. The HBO Max movie could even show Montoya’s transformation into the vigilante known as The Question. She doesn’t have any powers while she takes on the mantle, but it does help conceal her identity from the bad guys they fight.

Cassandra Cain

Black Canary could also be a place for Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco) to come back to the DCEU. Fans were excited to hear that Cain would be in Birds of Prey since she eventually becomes a hero of her own, taking on the Batgirl mantle for some time after going by the familiar name of Orphan. The DCEU didn’t mention her assassin upbringing in her debut appearance, but there is room for that to still be revealed. Black Canary could be where Cain takes on a bigger role in fighting crime instead of being a thief. While she was last seen driving away with Harley, Cassandra would’ve ended up on her own once Harley was sent back to Task Force X.

Batgirl

If Black Canary wants Batgirl to be involved, then the movie could also be a place for Leslie Grace to reprise her role as Barbara Gordon. The In the Heights star will make her DCEU debut as Barbara in a Batgirl movie that will also be an HBO Max original. Grace returning for Black Canary would be a great way to connect the two properties together and show the evolution of the Birds of Prey roster. Batgirl is one of the main members of the team in the comics alongside Black Canary and Huntress. Since she was left out of Birds of Prey and the formation of the team, including Batgirl in Black Canary can make her part of the team moving forward.

Commissioner Gordon

If Batgirl does appear, then Black Canary could also be a place for J.K. Simmons to play Commissioner Jim Gordon again. He’s only appeared in Justice League so far, but he’ll reportedly return for Batgirl too. This should solidify Simmons as the Jim Gordon of the DCEU moving forward. Since Black Canary could be set in Gotham for the entire movie or at least parts of it, it would be easy for Gordon to appear. It could even be a sign of how he’s continuing to work with many superheroes, not just Batman, after Justice League.

Katana

Black Canary’s potential to expand the Birds of Prey team could also lead to the return of Katana (Karen Fukuhara). The deadly assassin from Suicide Squad didn’t receive a large role in her DCEU debut, but Fukuhara’s time on The Boys proves there is more she can bring to Katana if given the chance. Katana is a member of the Birds of Prey team for some time in the comics, so that could be how she factors into Black Canary. It was even Black Canary and Batgirl who thought she’d be a good choice to join the team. Katana’s post-Suicide Squad fate is unclear, but Black Canary could be a great opportunity for the DCEU to bring her and the Soultaker back.

Savant

Another fun possibility to join Black Canary’s cast is The Suicide Squad’s villainous Savant (Michael Rooker). The character of Savant originally debuted in Birds of Prey #56 and was rehabilitated from being a villain to working with the team. While that backstory is unlikely to be part of Savant’s DCEU story, a past with Black Canary was possibly teased in The Suicide Squad. Theories have run wild that him killing a canary at the beginning of the film is a sign that Black Canary is responsible for Savant’s imprisonment. Black Canary could then show a flashback to how this happened if the DCEU wants to confirm this theory as canon.
