5 actresses we want to see play Black Canary in the DC Universe

1. Blake Lively

Blake Lively has already tried her hand at being a superhero with her role in Green Lantern, but let’s forget about that for a moment. The real question is, could she take on the role of Black Canary and do it justice? The answer is a resounding yes!

Not only does Lively have the acting chops to pull off the role, but she’s also got the look too. With her signature blonde hair and striking features, she could easily embody the character of Black Canary. But it’s not just about appearances. Lively has proven herself to be a versatile actress, with standout performances in movies like The Town, The Shallows, and  A Simple Favor.

So why would she make the perfect Black Canary?

For starters, she’s got the physicality needed to portray a superhero. Lively has been known to take on physically demanding roles in the past, and with her athletic build, she could easily pull off the fight scenes required for the role.

Plus, let’s not forget that Black Canary is a complex character, with a troubled past and a penchant for vigilante justice. Lively has shown that she can handle complex characters in movies like The Private Lives of Pippa Lee and The Age of Adaline. Oh, and The Rhythm Section showed Lively’s transformative ability in the revenger flick, proving she’d a fantastic Black Canary.
