“Aves de Rapina” debuted on the HBO Max catalog in Brazil and internationally with a censored version.

The movie had its swear words and toned down scenes of violence, visible in a scene with Detective Montoya (Rosie Perez) wearing a shirt with clearly stained handwriting. After facing off against Harlequin (Margot Robbie), she appeared with the shirt written “Did I Shave My Balls For This?”, Which was smeared throughout the cut.

Six minutes of footage from the film has been removed. The theatrical version was 1h 49m, compared to 1h 43m for the version released on HBO Max. The new version released is intended for people over 14 years old.

To verify:

Although “Birds of Prey” received 78% of critics’ approvals on Rotten Tomatoes, the film did not please audiences and only raised $ 201.8 million worldwide, on a budget of $ 85 million. of dollars.

In addition to not having generated the expected financial return, the adaptation directed by Cathy Yan has been one of the most criticized by fans of DC Comics.

And it looks like Yan didn’t have much creative choice on the project, having to submit to requests from Warner Bros. executives when they brought in Chad Stahelski (“John Wick”) to direct some remakes of the feature. .

During an interview with The Playlist, the filmmaker brought up the subject and expressed her dismay by suggesting that the film did not go as she had planned.

“I think when you have a budget like ‘Birds of Prey’ there’s a lot of pressure involved, especially when a studio is going through a lot of changes. Either way, you end up giving in and committing to what you’re told to do. It’s a little hard to fight [par manter sua própria visão]. “

She went on to say that her vision was not fully addressed in the film version:

“Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. It’s like that, I would like to have more control over the editing, so I don’t know if there is a Yan Cut of the film, but I think any filmmaker goes into this profession to be able to s ‘fully express. We want what’s going on in our head to be shown on the screen. I think it didn’t happen [em ‘Aves de Rapina‘]. “

Due to all of this controversy, it looks like Warner Bros. has no plans to invest in a sequel, at least for now.

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Margot Robbie, Harley Quinn, was asked about the subject and gave fans a very negative response.

“I don’t know anything about a sequel. As of now, I don’t think there are any plans or anything of interest to mention.

So, do you think the film deserves a sequel?
