Birds Of Prey Movie: Fan-Casting Every Major Role

10. Catwoman - Rebecca Ferguson

The Mission Impossible franchise may not have started with a bang, but its reputation has transformed massively over the last few years. 2011's Ghost Protocol and its follow up - Rogue Nation - were stellar action films, with a few stand-out stars making an appearance in each one. Rebecca Ferguson was one such actor, and when looking to cast Catwoman for both Gotham City Sirens and this film, she's a standout choice.

Taking on the role of Ilsa Faust in Rogue Nation and in the soon to be released Mission Impossible: Fallout, Ferguson is experiencing a resurgence unlike any other. The character she plays in those films - that of the ambiguous criminal whose agility and duplicity are her biggest strengths - is taken right from the Selina Kyle playbook, making her a natural fit for the character in either Sirens or Birds of Prey.

Catwoman wasn't a founding member of the group, but she did feature in both the New 52 and DC: Rebirth incarnations of the team somewhat sporadically. Given her popularity amongst fans and the fact there's an off-screen precedent for her involvement, it would be wise to bet on her appearing. Let's just hope that it's Ferguson leading the way.
