I didn't realize they would be filming so soon and that they were close to casting the other leads. I'm definitely good with this being a thread!

I'll add it to the board guide! Thanks for starting, Lyndell, and giving the news!

Interesting. Sometimes I feel like they throw out some names and then pick someone not on the list. So I'm thinking I'll be surprised in the end about who they eventually choose.

Thanks, Lyndell!

“i’m going to start training, and i’ll be learning how to shoot a bow and arrow, too — which is new for me,”

“i can’t say that i was a huge comic book reader,” winstead told thewrap. “but when i met with cathy yan, who’s directing the film, and learned kind of the back story of the character, i was really interested,” added the actress. “it’s a really strong, kind of emotional place to start from for a superhero character. I won’t go into too much detail now, but i think it’s interesting and an opportunity to do something cool with this kind of character,” she said.

“it’s really exciting, and even the process of going through getting the role and everything was a very different experience than i’ve typically been through,” winstead said. “being with the other actresses and a female director and just the whole energy behind this is so unique, so i’m really happy about that.”

It seems there really giving a lot to Harley/Margot since she was popular after Suicide Squad. I hope it's not an overload.

I'm excited to see how the new actresses will be in action! I haven't seen Jurnee in anything, but I'm hopeful since they seem to be taking casting for these parts very seriously!

Mary has... a very messy personal life, but she's a great actress, and from the sounds of it, she's training well for Huntress and the story for her is going to be good.

I'm very sad we haven't heard anything about Babs being in the movie yet since she spearheaded the BoP in the comics.

Thank you for everything, everyone!

Same here! She did a great job with her character arc into BC on the show.

I personally would've much preferred had they left out margot's harley (never liekd her version) and Jurnee Smollett-Bell as vixen bc I think she'd be perfect for that role and katheryn winnick maybe as black canary.
I personally have always found comic accuracy a very important aspect of comic book movies.
