4. Skyler Samuels 

Skyler Samuels starred in Ryan Murphy’s Fox series, Scream Queens. She plays they star role Grace Gardner. Grace starts off a freshman pledging for a sorority. Things go wrong when Grace is stalked and her sorority sisters start to die off. Samuels was a shining star as the leading lady which earned her great reviews. She’ll star as Sharon No. 3 in the upcoming comedy, Sharon 1.2.3. and the 2018 drama, Spare Room.

In Spare Room, she’ll play a widow who rents a room to the guilt-ridden former soldier responsible for her husband’s death. In the Fox series, The Gifted Samuels flexed her acting muscles playing three different characters as Cuckoos. With her talent and rising star status, Samuels would make for an excellent Supergirl. 

3. Zoey Deutch

Zoey Deutch is has made a name for herself as one of the great young actresses in Hollywood. Most recently she starred in the critically acclaimed romantic comedy, Set it Up. Deutch’s portrayal as Harper was classic in a movie that may have revived rom-com. In Set it Up she plays a glasses wearing unassuming assistant who schemes with Glen Powell’s character, Charlie to set up their mean bosses. If you want to see Deutch kick ass, in a completely different role check her out in 2014’s Vampire Academy. She plays half-human half-vampire, as Rose Hathaway, a guardian in training.

In Flower, she plays Erica who has the gift of gab and a lot of spunk. No matter who Deutch plays, her character stands out even when she shares the screen with great actors like Bryan Cranston and James Franco (Why Him). Having Deutch play Kara would be a smart move by the DCEU, she’d bring instant credibility and versatility.
