It’s probably a bit of a shocker for some fans seeing Eiza Gonzalez on this list. After all, she’s another fan favorite to play Selina Kyle — maybe it should happen. If not, there’s a role for her in the DCEU as Zatanna Zatara. It doesn’t hurt that she looks good in a top hat. So, lower your eyebrows and hear me out on this one.

More importantly, Gonzalez characters have shown traits of Zatanna. One of those roles was in the Netflix series, From Dusk Till Dawn. She played Santanico, a dominant Queen vampire.
Santanico was a confident, strong, and intimidating boss. In some ways, she’s heroic and despite her prowess, like Zatanna, she’s an empathetic character. Also like Zatanna, part of character’s past was wiped away.
Gonzalez was also fantastic in Baby Driver, which earned her a ton of recognition. Again, her character was one of the standouts.
As a matter of fact, she’s set to star in a few potential blockbusters. She’s set to join the cast of Godzilla vs. Kong and alongside Vin Diesel in Bloodspot. Most recently, news broke that she’ll play a role in Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham’s Hobbs and Shaw.
With her star potential, look, and acting ability, Eiza Gonzalez is ideal for Zatanna. She’ll make the perfect star for what will undoubtedly be a dark, magical adventure.
