It sounds likeaSupergirlmovie may eventually be happening- and we hump just the actress to play her in the DCEU . Well , we knowninewho could handle the role , depending on what kind of a Supergirl narration WB is front to tell .
With a faithful take on Supergirl already airing on The CW , it ’s possible , and probably good for the studio apartment to try something unlike . A younger Kara struggling to interpret her new life , perhaps , or an older Superwoman who can stand asan equal to Henry Cavill ’s Superman .
Heck , why not scrap the " cousin " relationship and just let on Kara to be the last Kryptonian not trying to defeat Clark Kent ?
We bang thatZack Snyder had a architectural plan for Supergirlin his magnanimous movie universe , apparently unrelated to the interpretation of Kara inMan of Steel ’s prequel comic . We would n’t depend that his visual modality will be the one that WB call for , but that only get it harder to guess what actress a Supergirl movie will need , not easier .
In the interest of not only suggesting actresses we could see playing Supergirl , but preparing devotee for what the cast might say about the overall movie ’s direction , we ’re running down our top competitor .
9. Imogen Poots
The character of movie WB will desire to make will inform the cast of Supergirl more than any other broker , so for our first selection , we ’re last with an actress various enough to easy rive off the challenge . Imogen Poots has demonstrated smart , heart , emotion , and a signified of humor throughout her career on film and idiot box ( most recognizable to casual moviegoers for her roles inGreen Room , That Awkward Moment , andNeed For speeding ) .
Her star is still on the rise among her peers , and may abuse into the realm of funny book of account version once the goggle box version ofY : The Last Manarrives ( act Yorick ’s older sister , Hero ) . As an actress who has chosen one interesting project after another , Imogen Poots stepping into the office of Kara Zor - El would n’t just be meet , but a great preindication that the film itself take for promise .
8. Margaret Qualley
The other main question facing a Supergirl on film is how snug it will keep to the telly version currently airing . get into that the filmmaker will want to take Kara in a different centering - perhaps one exploring the fear , closing off , and trauma Kara has to endure upon wake up on Earth - an actress like Margaret Qualley is a bullseye . Because it is n’t well-fixed being dangerous , wild , devastated , and afraid , all while remain inherently likeable . But that ’s something Supergirl and Qualley have achieved in both their past tense .
Lest any fans interest that we ’re pitching a dark , or psychological thriller translation of Supergirl , Kara still ends up as a hero . But being prove on Krypton gives Kara an " otherworldly " nature Clark never faced , Qualley ’s training as a ballet dancer and style framework before performing will give her a head kickoff . And with the range she ’s point in the alive - action adaptation ofDeath Note , Shane Black’sThe Nice Guys , or on HBO’sThe Leftovers , we hope she could do Kara Zor - El justice .
7. Jessica Rothe
If the critical receipt ofBatman v SupermanandSuicide Squad(not the box place ) has convinced the studio apartment that quest for a whimsical , more lighthearted discussion of Supergirl is good , they may not care about the movie falling too closely to the TV show . Which signify that the doorway would be undefendable to another actress slue from the same cloth as Melissa Benoist - that ’s Jessica Rothe , who fans may have already seen obliterate multiple times inHappy Death Day .
Others may know her from the MTV seriesMary + Jane , which affirm her knack for smaller - scale of measurement comedy in unorthodox berth ( and the same buy the farm forDeath Day ) . Again , we ca n’t say whether or not it ’s wise to deliver two alike yield on The Girl of Steel on picture show and goggle box . But for those wanting to see Henry Cavill ’s Superman interact with television set ’s style of Supergirl , that ’s a job that Rothe could excel at , while making it her own .
6. Naomi Scott
If her role on the short - lived Fox seriesTerra Novashowed she had lead electric potential , then thePower Rangersmovie confirmed that Naomi Scott had really arrive . Anyone who miss out on the reboot does n’t need to take our discussion for it . Before long , Scott was signed by Disney in the coveted use ofPrincess Jasmine in their bouncy - legal action Aladdin motion picture . So if her star mightiness seems like less than Supergirl demand , that ’s about to change .
It ’s well - deserve , too . If WB plans to give young women a heroine who embraces superpowers , instead of being terrified by them , then Scott ’s posture and self-assurance will be put to safe use . And before anyone arrogate that Kara Zor - El needs to be Caucasic to match Henry Cavill ’s skin tone … permit ’s just not lay waste to time on that doubtfulness . Plus , Scott ’s native English accent would equip right in with most of the Kryptonians glimpsed inMan of Steel .

5. Saoirse Ronan
The longer rumors of aSupergirlmovie swirl , the more moviegoers are going to hear Saoirse Ronan ’s name mentioned as a top - tier choice - assuming that WB wants to keep pull in well-thought-of , spectacular thespian . And coming off an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe profits for the starring office inLady Bird , a dive into the world of superhero could make sense . But just like Qualley , the picture show being planned would involve to make sense .
After all , Ronan does n’t demand a blockbuster potential enfranchisement as much as WB take a hit . So for buff expecting fully grown thing fromCaptain Marveldue to Brie Larson ’s own dramatic chops and awards , casting Ronan as the other major member of the Superman folk could be a compelling return . Ronan does n’t have much experience in military action since her number in Hanna , but … CG and training can take upkeep of that . seize that ’s even the case of movieSupergirlwill turn out to be .
4. Jessica Stroup
We should cue fans that if WB want to ensure their movie Supergirl abide aside from the TV series , they can change more than the style or tone . They can alter her long time : a adolescent waking up on Earth … or a grown woman emerging as an equal and peer to Superman . And if it ’s a thirty - something Kara that WB wants to bring to lifespan , that ’s a role that Jessica Stroup could encounter perfectly ( and would offer something newfangled to comic fans , as well ) .
Stroup will be known to comic book fans for her most late role as Joy Meacham on Marvel’sIron Fist , which some might take in as a hurdle to her bring such a high - profile film part . ButIron Fistviewers will also know that Stroup ’s performance deserves more than just recognition as one of the best parts of Marvel ’s worst get Netflix series to date . Like many mold members , Joy is remembered for what Stroup brought to the character - a blend of smarting and heart that a full - grown Kara should embody to stand opposite another Kryptonian hero .
3. Adria Arjona
ASupergirlmovie is just as likely to be fire by legal action as introspective drama . And if the movie go the first itinerary , then an actress like Adria Arjona will be up to the task , novel offPacific Rim : Uprising , and even more of late flexing her straightforward - cleaning lady drollery muscularity opposite Melissa McCarthy inLife of The Party . But that all comes second to Arjona ’s effortless behaviour as a serene , intelligent , and solemn hustler - no matter how feverish the fit in question .
If Supergirl fans do n’t get laid her yet ( and missed her leave role in the otherworldlyEmerald City ) then they will soon enough . Arjona will be starring alongside Ryan Reynolds inMichael Bay’s6 Undergroundfilm for Netflix , before step alongside Ben Affleck , Oscar Isaac , and Pedro Pascal inTriple Frontier . If they take to long to settle , WB may have trouble finding elbow room in Arjona ’s schedule at all .
2. Logan Browning
There are mint of ways that WB , or the filmmaker they bind can re - imagine or re - translate the storey of Supergirl for a feature of speech film . And fans will probably be more candid to experimentation than they were withMan of Steel , since a nostalgic rendering is presently air on The CW . But if they are looking to adjust the spirit of Kara in the most direct way potential , you ca n’t get much closer to it than Logan Browning .
TheDear White Peoplestar had a brief copse with comic Scripture superheroism in the short - livedPowers , but we think a less pert heroine function may actually be a better fit . Browning has read the cacoethes , sureness , and authority needed to make Supergirl a forcefulness to be reckoned with , which may be harder to pull off than most fans will believe . So it ’s a good matter Browning can also do justice to Kara ’s tenderness , confident position , and warmness ( while adding even more diverse cast to a motion picture universe already making it a precedency ) .
1. Natalie Dormer
We could n’t put together a list of actresses who could pull off Supergirl without acknowledging the heavier hitters and more ground actress fans will be clamoring for . And even before Marvel found its version of Carol Danvers , Natalie Dormer was a top selection among fans for both Marvel and DC . It ’s not gruelling to grasp why , since theGame of Thronesalum gave one of the across-the-board ranging , and fan - favorite performances of the show ’s run so far . sinewy , cunning , terrific , sweet , sexy , and slimy evil when fortune called for it , it ’s arduous to retrieve of a Supergirl story Dormer could n’t pull off on her sopor .
If the plan really is to put another Kryptonian standing opposite Henry Cavill ’s Superman , then Dormer makes plenty of dynamics potential . Few would ever doubt that she could allow Kal - El speechless or knocked back on his heels - and fall out it up with a smirk that give motion-picture fan exactly the sort of attitude they came to see . With a shot at Captain Marvel now off the table , will Dormer sign on for Supergirl to bring the same power to the fully grown screen ? We will just have to wait and see .
