I wonder who they’ll cast as her? Eiza Gonzalez is the fan favorite, and honestly she needs a superhero role already, but homely I wouldn’t mind an unknown either.
For curiosity, there is a parallel thread in TV/Film section too- https://community.cbr.com/showthread...n-Lantern-show
Yeah i saw that. Whoever they cast depends on the age they’re going for Jessica. I can see Jenna of Isabela if they’re going super young early adulthood Jessica or Eiza Gonzalez maybe Christian Serratos if they want a more mature Jessica (mid to late 20’s). I don’t see Ana or Adria as Jessica at all, they’re the wrong race imo.
Race is not the same as ethnicity. Ana is a White Latina. Jessica is clearly a Brown/Native/Mestizo woman. I don’t see Adria as Jessica
So an actress like Francia Raisa probably fits Jessica the most since she’s Mexican/Honduran like Jessica.
My top choices would be:
1) Francia Raisa
2) Christian Serratos
3) Stephanie Sigman
4) Eiza Gonzalez (kind want her for Hawkgirl or Zatanna tho)
Maria Gabriela de Faria would make a great Jessica. Only saw her on Deadly Class, but I really liked the work she did.
unfortunately, Hollywood "doesn't see color" so there is a GOOD chance whoever does the casting won't be able to tell the difference and will "just so happen" to cast a white Latina actress; which would be unfortunate imo.
you have a good crop of choices, I wouldn't mind any of these. (side bar: I agree Eiza would make a good Hawkgirl but I think Kendra is supposed to be afro-latina so I would rather her for Jess so they could go with an afro-latina actress). I'd throw in Melissa Barrera, she has a show called Vida and she's gonna be in the In the Heights movie coming down the pipeline; she has a grounded relatable vibe that reminds me of Jess. Her sister on the show (Mishel Prada) plays a more neurotic type-A kinda character, I think she could pull off a fresh just coming out of her severe anxiety era Jess.
THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki
also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.
currently following:
- DC: Red Hood: The Hill
- Marvel: TBD
- Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force
"power does not corrupt, power always reveals."
I love how much of a breakthrought character she's become in a decade. If adding to it, she becomes the lead or center of the new show, she will skyrocket to a point where she will be unbeatable.
Honestly, I think Holywood only see color. That's why they always think a Latino character should have darker skin.
In fact, it is more unlikely that Holywood would hire a white latino actor for a latino character. They would usually hire a darkest skin latino, because they want to let clear that the character is latino.
But not dark enough that they would cast a black actor to play Sunspot, or have Gina Torres play a latina even though she is one.
The problem with Hollywood, and the US in general is that they have a very narrow view of what constitute being a latino. This is clear with Gina Torres, who don't get roles of latinas and on James Roday who had to change his names because he was too white to play a latino.
