The future of the DC Films world appears to be changing pretty regularly, and fans are eager to see which characters get spotlighted in what ways. Among them is Dinah Lance / Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett), who first debuted in 2020’s Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). In the time since Birds of Prey’s debut, fans have campaigned to see Dinah onscreen again — and there’s a chance they might soon get their wish. It was announced last year that a Black Canary HBO Max movie is in development, which would see Smollett return to the role with her frequent Lovecraft Country and Underground collaborator Misha Green penning the script. A recent social media post from Green provided the first inkling in several months about Black Canary’s status, with a binder covered with the character’s logo being spotted in the background of one of her latest Instagram stories.

whispers I choose an image to put as the cover for my writing binder on every project. Something that reminds me of the vibe I’m aiming for every time I go to write. Your poster was/is 🔥🔥🔥. 🙌🏾✊🏾 https://t.co/2LqKYWV9eE
