Black Canary Casting Thread

[Kebab gud]

Imagine ... someone is casting a Black canary Live action movie..
now the time has come to fine some one to play Dinah Lance aka Black Canary aka The Blonde Bombshell :P

Just for inspiration here is a picture of Kristen Bell in the Black Canary costume (shes to short, only 5'1)

If she was just 4inces taller she whould be perfect

Kristen Bell makes no sense. Sure she's wearing fishnets, but that shouldn't be the deciding factor. She's not a strong enough actress to pull it off.

Anyway, I like Charlize Theron.

 

[Brainiac 2009]

Yeah Kristen Bell is an awful choice. She looks like a ******ed dwarf in that picture too.

Theron would obviously be good given shes an accomplished actress but realistically I doubt she'd take on a role like this (especially after the last time she did, it tanked).

 

[Majik1387]

Theron is a terrible choice.

Now Naomi Watts?

 

[Eddie Dean]

Why is Theron a "terrible" choice?

I could see Watts though.

 

[Kebab gud]

Charlize Theron is getting abit old for the part issent she..

 

[Eddie Dean]

She's 36.

 

[Kebab gud]

yeah .. from what i remember Black Canary is ALOT younger then Green Arrow, and he is in his early/mid 40s so BC needs to be in her 20s

 

[Eddie Dean]

She is younger, but I don't think she's that young.

Anyway, I think it would translate better in a film if she's the same age as Ollie.

 

[Kebab gud]

one of the things that makes there relationship spesial is the age gap...

Ohh and this ...

(For thos who dont get it.. the bloody girl is Black Canary, after she was tortured)

 

[Kebab gud]

Melissa George has the look, shes 5'8 and is 30 but looks younger

 

[Matt.S99]

Theron is a terrible choice.

Now Naomi Watts?

oooooo didnt think of her!manip please anyone on kristens body?

Dinah Lance took her mother's title as Black Canary at the tender age of 19.

(greatest Birds of Prey website ever, by the way)

Of course, that was a while ago, and I think Dinah is in her early 30s in current continuity.

I think you're all looking in the wrong places for your Black Canary actresses. Dinah is a natural brunette who wears a blonde wig as part of her costume (she didn't start dying her hair blonde until she joined the Birds of Prey). We don't need a blonde actress. We need a brunette and one damn convincing wig & make-up lady.

 

[Kebab gud]

true she wears a wig.. but she is "The blond bombshell "
i think we need a naturally blond actress. I still dont get why then went with a wig! nothing is more unrealistic then fighting crime in a wig.
It whould be alot cooler is she chould change her hair color, afterall she is a "meta".

But then again.. it dossent really mattern what hair color an actor/actress has.
aslong as shes 5'4" or there about and is ...... HOT! (There .. i said it)
