5 actresses we want to see play Zatanna in the DC Universe

Zatanna is a fan favorite character who is log overdue for a live-action movie or solo series — James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU can make it happen.

Zatanna Zatara, the mistress of magic, is a character who has long captured the imaginations of DC Comics fans. With her striking appearance and incredible abilities, it’s no wonder that fans have been clamoring to see her on the big screen. And with James Gunn and Peter Safran now in charge of the DC Extended Universe, the time is ripe for Zatanna to finally make her big-screen debut.

Zatanna’s comic book solo stories are full of magic, adventure, and intrigue. As a stage magician who is also a real sorceress, Zatanna combines her stagecraft with her magic to create truly awe-inspiring illusions. Her powers include telekinesis, telepathy, elemental control, and the ability to cast spells with a mere utterance of a word.

One of Zatanna’s most intriguing storylines involves her search for her father, the legendary magician Giovanni Zatara. In this storyline, Zatanna uses her magic to travel through time and space in search of her father, encountering many strange and dangerous creatures along the way.

Another memorable Zatanna story is the “Seven Soldiers of Victory” storyline, in which she teams up with six other heroes to stop an invasion of Earth by the Sheeda, a race of interdimensional conquerors. This storyline not only showcases Zatanna’s magical abilities but also her leadership skills and her ability to work well with others.

But it’s not just her comic book adventures that make Zatanna an intriguing character. She also has a complex personality that makes her even more fascinating. Zatanna is a woman who is both confident and vulnerable, both powerful and fragile. She is a strong heroine, but she also has her flaws and her weaknesses.

So, with all this in mind, it’s clear that Zatanna is a character who deserves to be brought to life on the big screen. And with James Gunn and Peter Safran at the helm of the DC Universe, there’s no doubt that she would be in excellent hands. Actresses like Kaya Scodelario,  Alexandra Daddario, Ana De Armas, and Eiza Gonzalez are all names fans have attached to the role. But there are some other actresses who’d be amazing.
