Chris Messina, “The Mindy Project” and “Sharp Objects” actor, is in talks to play one of the villains in Warner Bros. and DC’s “Birds of Prey” starring Margot Robbie. Messina will play Victor Zsasz in the film, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
Zsasz is a cohort of the film’s lead villain, Batman baddie Black Mask, who TheWrap exclusively reported will be portrayed by Ewan McGregor.
Additionally, Steven Williams, Derek Wilson, Dana Lee, Francois Chau, and Matthew Willig have all also joined the cast. Their roles are being kept under wraps.
Robbie, who is also producing, reprises her role as “Suicide Squad’s” Harley Quinn in “Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn).”
