Summary:
- Morena Baccarin has expressed her long-standing desire to play Catwoman in the DCEU, and with Warner Bros. developing a Gotham City Sirens film, fans speculate she could be a perfect fit for the role.
- Although she previously starred in the DC series Gotham, that wouldn’t conflict with a potential casting in the film universe.
As Warner Bros. continues to expand its DC Cinematic Universe, a film centered on Gotham City Sirens is in the works, featuring iconic characters like Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn.
David Ayer, known for Suicide Squad, is spearheading the project, with Margot Robbie set to reprise her role as Harley Quinn. However, the casting for Catwoman and Poison Ivy remains a mystery.
In a recent Instagram live Q&A, Deadpool 2 star Morena Baccarin was asked whether it was true that she has always wanted to play Catwoman.
She enthusiastically confirmed, saying, “It’s so true! I’ve wanted to play Catwoman forever.”
Baccarin seems like an ideal choice for the role—she has the look, the attitude, and the charisma that would make her a perfect fit.
While she previously portrayed Vanessa in the DC series Gotham, that connection is separate from the film universe, so it wouldn’t pose any conflicts.
One of the upcoming DC films is Birds of Prey, but it’s uncertain whether Catwoman will be featured.
Although Harley Quinn is confirmed, the rest of the character lineup remains unclear. Since the story is set in Gotham City, there’s a possibility, but we’ll have to wait and see.
What are your thoughts on Morena Baccarin potentially taking on the role of Catwoman? Would you be excited to see that happen?
