British singer Dua Lipa, who is a hit around the world and who will make her film debut in 2023, could have her solo DC film. She would play Zatanna, the extremely powerful magician.
This could greatly help launch Dua Lipa’s film career. The 26-year-old pop singer, who is hugely successful in music, is currently in talks for a DC superhero role.
Dua Lipa to play the magician Zatanna?
Rather than breaking their teeth with an ultra-connected universe like the MCU, Warner Bros. changed its tune a few years ago. The quality of the films comes first this time and they are made to be autonomous. In addition to The Batman 2, Joker 2 Folie à deux or Black Adam with The Rock, a feature film on the character of Zatanna is still in development.
Emerald Fennell, who won the Oscar for best screenplay for Promising Young Woman, will handle the story part and Bad Robot, the company of JJ Abrams (Lost, Super 8), the production. And in the main role? Dua Lipa could step into Zatanna’s shoes provided that the negotiations apparently underway are successful. Zatanna is a very powerful magician who belongs to the Justice League and is able to manipulate reality. She has other powers like being able to fly, controlling gravitational pull, or making herself invisible.
Zatanna features in the animated films Justice League Dark and Justice League Dark: Apokolips War.
True or false, we will see Dua Lipa in 2023 on Apple TV+. It will be for director Matthew Vaughn’s film Argylle (Kick-Ass, Kingsman, X-Men: The Beginning).
