Fans Buzz Over Desired Casting
James Gunn is ready to give a fresh breath of life to the shared universe of films based on DC Comics by producing the upcoming film ‘Superman’. In addition to this, he has also confirmed his plans to work on a new Batman movie subtitled ‘The Brave and the Bold’. Amongst all the excitement, a new potential casting pick has caught the fans’ attention – Morena Baccarin, best known for her role in the ‘Deadpool‘ franchise.
Why Fans Want Baccarin as Catwoman?
A social media user with the username @DarkInfamy_ recently expressed that Baccarin would be absolutely perfect for the role of Catwoman in the upcoming Batman movie. This statement grabbed attention as many fans seconded this idea. Baccarin isn’t new to the world of DC Comics, having portrayed Leslie ‘Lee’ Thompkins in the Batman prequel series ‘Gotham‘ and lending her voice for two animated DC characters.
Baccarin voicing the characters of Talia Al Ghul in two animated DC movies and Dinah Lance in ‘Justice League Unlimited’ displays her versatility and familiarity with the franchise. Fans applaud her excellent performance and agree that her expertise could be a definitive asset for the new DCU.
What’s Stopping Baccarin from the Role?
While fans seem eager to see Baccarin take up the role of Selina Kyle, others speculate the actress‘s association with multiple DC roles could be a reason for Gunn to look elsewhere. With the reboot, Gunn might aim to introduce novel faces to the franchise.
But if the diverse comic roles don’t pose a problem, there lies another potential roadblock. Some fans raised questions about Baccarin’s age. As the actress is in her mid-40s, they expressed concern about her suitability for the role. Casting younger actors who could commit to long-term roles appear to be a possible strategy for the new DCU. Indications of Gunn planning to introduce a younger Batman further strengthens this argument.
Still, many are of the opinion that Baccarin could pull off the role of Catwoman with finesse, primarily pointing at her rich experience with DC properties.
While it’s unclear whether Gunn will consider Baccarin for the role or not, fan opinions and speculations continue to flare with a variety of perspectives. As we eagerly anticipate further news on James Gunn’s DCU and the casting choices, one thing is clear – whoever lands the role of Catwoman has some big boots to fill. The journey from anticipations to clarity as the casting wraps up sure promises to be an exciting one for DC fans around the world.
