"Fargo" star Ewan McGregor will be playing the antagonist in Harley Quinn spin-off, "Birds of Prey".
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 47-year-old actor will portray Gotham City mob boss Black Mask.
The character, also known as Roman Sionis, is the head of the False Face Society gang and is said to be obsessed with masks.
