Cassandra Cain Character Cast for Harley Quinn Spinoff, BIRDS OF PREY

Ella Jay Basco is in negotiations to play Cassandra Cain in the Harley Quinn spinoff, "Birds of Prey," according to Variety.

In DC Comics, Cain is the daughter of assassins David Cain and Lady Shiva, and is deprived of speech and human contact during her childhood as conditioning to become the world's greatest assassin. She eventually befriends Bruce Wayne and goes on to become Batgirl.

Margot Robbie is reprising her role as Harley Quinn in the film, with Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Jurnee Smollett-Bellon cast as Huntress and Black Canary, respectively. Ewan McGregor will play the film's villain and Rosie Perez will portray Gotham City police detective Renee Montoya.

In the film, Quinn, Huntress, and Black Canary team up to protect Cain's character when she comes across a diamond belonging to McGregor's Black Mask, a kingpin in Gotham City's criminal underworld.

Cathy Yan is directing the pic with Robbie producing, along with Sue Kroll and Bryan Unkeless.

Warner Bros.' "Birds of Prey" is set to be released on Feb. 7, 2020.
