Birds of Prey was a toss-up with viewers. Some people loved it, others weren’t impressed. Rosie Perez starred alongside Margot Robbie in the Harley Quinn spinoff film. While Perez said she would return for a second Birds of Prey movie, she did express the one thing she wasn’t happy about in the first film:
“I mean, if it happens, sure. When you said that, the first thing that came to my mind was, “Oh my God, I have to lose weight and get in shape again.” Hopefully, there won’t be any ageist type of jokes in it as well. Having me called “grandma.” That was the only thing, I was like, “Really guys? Really?” I was like, “Would you have the nerve to say that to Helen Mirren, in her 50 million action movies?”
Perez’s character was the oldest in the group, but she kicked ass alongside the other strong female DC characters in the film. Considering how respected and well-known of an actress Perez is, I can see why she disliked those jokes. Hopefully, if there is a second one, there won’t be these sort of jokes at Perez’s expense.
What do you think about the ageist jokes in Birds of Prey?
