3. Kat Graham 

Kicking off the list is an actress who’s trying to make her name in the music industry. Fans of The Vampire Diaries know Graham for her role as Bonnie Bennett. Bonnie was as strong as they come both physically and mentally. Graham was excellent and no matter who she was on the screen with she shined. The 28-year old actress isn’t a stranger to the big screen either.

In 2017 she stared in the Tupac biopic All Eyez on Me as Jada Pinkett-Smith. She’ll star alongside John Travolta and Morgan Freeman in The Poison Rose. And we think she’d be a great choice for Black Canary. 

2. Naomi Scott

Naomi Scott doesn’t have a ton of IMDB acting credits under her belt but she’s still a rising star. Before recent, her most notable role was in the Disney television movie, Lemonade Mouth. Scott proved she was more than capable of playing an action hero.

As a shining star in the 2017 Power Rangers reboot Scott played Kimberley Hart aka the Pink Ranger. The former popular girl turned super-powered fighter is similar to Black Canary. Her ability to kick butt is why she’ll star in Charlie Angel’s remake. Admittedly, Scott can really sing. As a matter of fact, her ability to sing in addition to her acting is why she’s set to star as Princess Jasmine in Guy Ritchie’s live-action Aladdin.
