Birds of Prey take on Black Mask in new set photos (UPDATED: New video)

UPDATE: A new video has surfaced. While she isn't wearing roller skates for the filming, the implication is that Harley is holding on to the back of Black Mask's car and skating behind it.

Original story follows.

It appears that the carnival set was indeed a Birds of Prey set, and it may be the sight of the final showdown.

All of the main Birds of Prey cast was spotted filming on Sunday night, and it looks as though it may be a climactic showdown with Black Mask (Ewan McGregor).

It looks as though Black Mask gets his hands on Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco). This isn't our first indication that the plot has something to do with her as a previous set video showed Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) and Zsasz (Chris Messina) chasing her down.

The next pictures appear to show that Harley (Margot Robbie) isn't going to let that happen.

While we've seen the pink top before, this is the first time we've seen the gold pants with the harlequin motif to them. It seems from all the set images that have been appearing that Harley will spend a great deal of this film changing outfits.

Although this picture appears in one of the tweets above, it's worth singling out as it appears that Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez) may be the further away figure in the front row. We're only guessing it's her due to the baton as it's the weapon she held in the teaser video.

If that is indeed her, this is the first time we've seen all of the Birds together.

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) hits theaters on Feb. 7, 2020.

My guess is the Full mask doesn't happen till the end. He was always into masks until it goes wrong.

What's the point of hiring Ewan Mc Gregor if you can have a nobody under the mask? I think it's a specific clause in his contract with WB.

how hard is it to be patient and use your brain cells to think "maybe he goes through a couple of masks first?" This is one image. You're judging an entire character and film based on one image.

There seems to be like a loose strap on the mask. Maybe be the "jaw" part works like a chin strap or some bs?
definitely looks weird.
Everything is shit visually tbh, hope story and action is at least ok

Absolute fucking shit. Like everything else about this fucking movie. Design wise they all suck monkey dick. Not even trying to pay homage to the comics. With maybe Harley being the exception.

based on the half dozen low quality images of anyone other than Quinn? The whole movie will be shit based on out of context set photos that aren't in line with the lighting, angling, or quality of the film itself? It's not precisely like the comics, no, but the design so far is pretty in line with the characters. Judging an entire film based on set photos is the most ignorant thing you could do.

Do you really think that isn't a full mask because of breathing issues? It's a universe with two alien invasions and an underwater civilization... they never attempted to be realistic in the past... why now?

What a strange choice for Black Mask. Hope it's just his first form, and he ends up with a full mask at some point.

Y'all just a bunch of haters. Black mask's mask is accurate, they went with the Jet Lee version.

Hopefully this is only his first form or its just a base for them to cgi the rest, i could see them doing that so they can get more expression from Mcgregor who is a good actor.

I like and want to be positive about this but like many comments on here, I'm finding it tough. The Kato-looking mask certainly doesn't help and they're not giving me much to work with here. Patience is needed and I'm content to wait till the final product but hopefully they step up these costumes significantly. Quality could clearly be so much better and from what I'm seeing, committed Cosplay buffs could do better than this.
