5. Carmela Zumbado

This is more of a typecast as Carmela Zumbadois looks like Zatanna ripped from the comics. No, she’s not a household name, but with her talent and charisma, it’s only a matter of time. The actress has been making waves with her roles in TV shows like You and Chicago PD, but she’s ready for her breakout role.

Zumbado has the perfect combination of sultry charm and steely determination that would make her a natural fit for the role of Zatanna. The supernatural magician is a complex character, and she requires an actress who can bring both charm and strength to the role. Zumbado has already proven that she has the charisma and on-screen presence to pull off a character like Zatanna. Her performance in You as the cunning and determined Delilah showed her range as an actress, and we think she’d be able to bring that same energy to the role of Zatanna.

But beyond her acting skills, Zumbado also has a background in dance and physical theater, which could come in handy for the role of Zatanna. As a magician, Zatanna relies on her physicality and her ability to captivate an audience. Zumbado’s experience in physical theater and dance could make her the perfect fit for this aspect of the character.

Carmela Zumbado is a fresh face in Hollywood with a talent and charisma that would make her an ideal fit for the role of Zatanna. We can’t wait to see what she brings to the character in the DC Universe.
