Ewan McGregor (Christopher Robin,Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith) has been tapped to play the crime lord Roman Sionis, aka Black Mask, in theBirds of Preyfilm, according to our friends attheWrap.
Black Mask is the criminal alias of Roman Sionis, who murdered his wealthy, status-obsessed parents to take control of the family corporation, then lost everything when he proved to be a terrible businessman. Seeking revenge on the people he blamed for his own failures — particularly Bruce Wayne and Wayne Enterprises — he returns, hidden behind an ebony black mask, at the head of a gang called the False Face Society.
“Birds of Prey” will be produced by Kroll & Co Entertainment’s Sue Kroll and Bryan Unkeless, as well as Margot Robbie who is set to reprise her role as Harley Quinn.
