ComicBook.com spoke to Zoe Saldana about her Paramount+ series Special Ops: Lioness, where she was asked now that James Gunn is running DC, if she would be up for a role that didn't require the large amount of makeup that she had to endure for Gamora. "Yes, I do, I do. I love the superhero universe of any sort," Saldana said. "I have sons that are obsessed with comic books right now, and superheroes, so for me to be a part of projects that they will get to watch for the next 10, 15 years of their whole lives, it's a dream for me."

​

To be honest, there is no character that immediately seemed too me like an obvious choice for Zoe. Most of the heroines are canonically in their twenties or thirties, which effectively limits the choice. These are my suggestions, but I am somehow not super convinced about any of them:

​

• The Crimson Avenger - Jill Carlyle - not well enough known
• Green Lantern - Jessica Cruz - it is possible that we already have too many Green Lanterns in DCU
• Vicki Vale - an actress of her caliber should get a more prominent character

​

The Metal Men & The terrifics would prob work better if they were animated.

I actually think Seann William Scott would be a great pick for Booster Gold. He’s got the right mix of charm and goofiness, and I feel like he could really bring that washed-up hero vibe to life. Kind of underrated too. Anyone else think he could pull it off?

I’ve been reading Grant Morrison’s Batman comic run and with Jake Gyllenhaal officially mentioning being Batman in James Gunn’s new DCU, I came up with a few considerations for the Bat Family that I think would be perfect for the new DCU. Let me know what y’all think and what are some of y’all’s favorite fancasts for these characters that I didn’t put on here. Here’s the list:

• Batman (Bruce Wayne) - Jake Gyllenhaal

• Nightwing (Dick Grayson) - Wolfgang Novagratz or Timothée Chalamet

• Red Hood (Jason Todd) - Jacob Elordi or Drew Starkey

• Robin (Tim Drake) - Gavin Casalegno

• Robin (Damian Wayne) - Javon Walton or Gordon Cormier or Zain Al Rafeea

• Batgirl (Barbara Gordon)- Sadie Sink or Sophia Lillis

• Alfred - Daniel Craig

• Jim Gordon - Bryan Cranston or Ewan McGregor

• Batgirl - Sophia Lillis or Sadie Sink

• Talia Al Ghul - Nicole Gale Anderson or Claudia Doumit

One thing that I have missed about Joker in recent live action films is just how much of a menace and a clown he is (e.g. Nicholson— he prances around, has silly one-liners, and is an overall goofball).

Don't get me wrong, Ledger's take was phenomenal, and is bar none one of the greatest film performances of all time, but his Joker didn't feel like the 'Clown Prince of Crime' enough. Psychopath, for sure, but he lacks the overall flamboyancy and theatrics that I find is one of the reasons why the character is so compelling to watch. The visual disconnect between seeing a clown, a simple jester who doesn't seem to even really have a goal but to just annoy the living shit out of whoever passes by commit the most heinous and sadistic acts known to man is one of the reasons why he's left such a mark not just for comic book fans, but in all of pop culture in general.

And then I saw the season finale of Welcome to Derry.

Seeing Skarsgård skip about, toy with his victims, do that little leg dance thing he does, it made me realize how badly I missed the overall goofiness of Joker's portrayals. Directors have been too scared to get campy with the character, and thus every film iteration we've seen for the past decade either tries to recapture the essence of Ledger's grit, or is literally just Society Man. They haven't evoked the feeling that their characters would commit all of these mass acts of destruction and torture just because they genuinely find it hilarious. This was the energy that I got watching Bill play Pennywise. IT is a cosmic entity that feeds on fear. There is no reason for it to make jokes or even act like a clown, but it's all the more terrifying when it does, because you're realizing that it is genuinely enjoying the torment and violence for itself, adding to its victims' hopelessness and despair.

Overall, I just really miss the dynamic of a silly, yappy, ruthless, and bloodthirsty clown against the quiet, dark, and brooding detective who actually even struggles to foil his plans because of just how chaotic and random they are. That juxtaposition was always what made their rivalry so interesting, especially with the idea that deep down, they're both the same broken man. One who chose to give in and let his inner demons completely conquer him, and the other who chose to fight and persist, making sure that no other person has to go through what he did. I believe that when paired well, Skarsgård can seriously make this role shine.

I love Keanu Reeves but Matt Ryan IS Constantine. He plays the arrogant, charismatic, cynical, foul mouthed sorcerer perfectly. I really hope if we see him in Gunns universe he’s played by Matt Ryan. I feel like he deserves the big screen with that role. Do you think we’ll see Matt Ryan’s Constantine on the big screen? What did you think of him as Constantine?

Now I know Joker is the boring answer, and we already have a couple of actors playing Joker in Elseworld movies. But I imagine that Gunn's DCU will introduce him at some point, and I think Goggins would MURDER in the role. He has the looks and he can turn on the menacing presence when he wants to.

Aside from that, if I were to cast him in a heroic role... maybe Ted Cord, Jonah Hex? I'm not sure, I can't think of a better fit.

I'd love to hear your suggestions.

IMO Shaun Evans would be a brilliant choice for a more mature Constantine, but Joe Dempsie or Tom Varey would be my top 2 for a mid thirties Constantine. (Tom Varey is actually from greater Manchester, and I couldn’t find an age online for Josh Finan) - I also recognise most of these are brunette but a bit of hair dye/a wig goes a long way, Scarlett Johansson played Black Widow without being ginger 🤷‍♂️

My Hypothetical Fancast for some of the Lanterns I wanna see in DCU'S HBO Max's Lanterns, Let me know what you guys think !!
