The DC Extended Universe is set to make LGBT+ film history by introducing a prominent gay supervillain to a major superhero movie.
Birds of Prey, which is inspired by a DC Comics series of the same name, will feature Ewan McGregor as supervillain Black Mask.
Multiple sources have told that Black Mask will be portrayed as homosexual and the sexual tension between him and fellow villain Victor Zsasz will make it clear that he is gay. But apparently Black Mask will never explicitly state his sexuality.
The gay supervillain is a Gotham City crime lord. Other characters include Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell). Birds of Prey will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and will premiere in the US on 7 February 2020.
