John Wick Director Helms New Birds of Prey Action Sequences

When you’ve got a movie featuring Gotham City’s badass babes, why wouldn’t you want some badass action scenes?

As it turns out, Chad Stahelski – widely known for his directorial work on the John Wick franchise – will be coming on board to see out the filming of several new action sequences for the upcoming Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), which is slated to release on February 7, 2020.

Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) will premiere on February 7, 2020.

Aside from directing the John Wick series, Stahelski’s work encompasses a lot of stunt-driven action films, having been involved in the likes of Spider-Man 2 (2004), Captain America: Civil War (2014), and Deadpool 2 (2018). As such, it would certainly be a pleasure to have him soup up the action of Birds of Prey.

And with Birds of Prey receiving an R rating, the sky’s the limit for Stahelski to let loose his creative juice on the zany action fronted by Margot Robbie a.k.a Harley Quinn.
