Birds of Prey Casts Chris Messina as Victor Zsasz in Birds of Prey

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”11629″ img_size=”900×562″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Did you think that Ewan McGregor’s Black Skull would be the only villain in the upcoming DC film Birds of Prey? Nope! Deadline reports that Chris Messina has officially signed on for the role of Victor Zsasz, who is a sadistic serial killer who then carves a tally mark into himself to represents each one of his victims. Sounds like a messed up version of Killmonger from Black Panther. Victor will align himself with Black Mask and together the two are going to make for an evil combination for Harley Quinn and the gang to fight against.

Below you can find a description of Victor Zsasz:

“The character of Zsasz was first introduced in Batman: Shadow of the Bat #1 in June 1992 as part of Batman: The Last Arkham series. Zsasz’s origin story took place in 1996’s Batman Chronicles #3. He was the head of his own international company, a rich guy who is still rich from his family’s fortune. At 25, his parents die in a boating accident and plummets into a deep depression losing himself in gambling, and ultimately everything to the Penguin. He tries to commit suicide, but after killing a homeless man, he becomes addicted to killing and is known for slitting his victims’ throats and leaving them in lifelike poses, while adding a tally mark to himself each time. He’s routinely incarcerated in Arkham Asylum. On Fox/WBTV’s Gotham series, the character of Zsasz is portrayed by Anthony Carrigan. This is the first time that Zsasz has appeared on the big screen.” – via Deadline.

Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of Harley Quinn) is being directed by Cathy Yan and will feature a slew of talented actors.

Birds of Prey will hit theaters February 7, 2020.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
