Christina Hodson Says Batgirl Script is ‘Coming Along,’ Looking Forward to Birds of Prey

Writer Christina Hodson spoke with CBM for a new interview promoting Bumblebee and discussed her work on DC’s Birds of Prey and Batgirl scripts.

On whether she can tease anything about her upcoming DC films: “Only that I’m super, super excited.”

On Birds of Prey beginning production next month: “Yeah, January. Super excited. Our cast is awesome. Most of it has leaked, so you already know who’s playing who. I’m super excited about the cast, about the characters. And it’s really fun and different and honestly, I think aside from the fact that, obviously, the studio would like me to not say anything, I think it’s fun not to say anything yet because that means there’s going to be whole bunch of fun little surprises for fans and for new people to the DC universe to discover.”

On how her Batgirl script is coming along, and the possibility of Hailee Steinfeld playing the role: “Again, above my paygrade. *laughs* Not something I can speak to. But, yeah, I’m loving writing it, I can say that, it’s a total joy to work on. I love the character. And everyday I’m finding new things to love and get excited about.”
