Starring in the animated series My Adventures with Superman as Supergirl, Kiana Madeira has shown interest in voicing Zatanna in a live-action DC project. In the show, Madeira plays a unique version of Supergirl, a character who comes to Earth to persuade Superman to take control of the world.
When Madeira was asked which DC character she would like to play in James Gunn's Dcu in a Reddit AMA post, she stated her wish. In reaction, she summoned one of DC's most well-known magical heroines, Zatanna.
Based on her past performances, Kiana Madeira seems like a good fit for the character of Zatanna. Her filmography features a number of science fiction and fantasy films, including She Never Died, The Other Kingdom, Level 16, and My Babysitter's a Vampire.
The Fear Street trilogy's Deena Johnson was Madeira's breakthrough role. Teenage skeptic Deena experiences paranormal activities involving magic, curses, and spirits. Her trilogy performance might serve as a great training ground for a part akin to hers in a DC film.
A well-known sorceress in DC Comics, Zatanna Zatara is renowned for her natural magical powers and capacity to bend reality. She has a variety of superpowers and is the mythical superhero John Zatara's daughter from the Golden Age.
Despite Zatanna being portrayed by Serinda Swan in the live-action series Smallville, a number of DC projects involving the character have been shelved throughout time. James Gunn's Dcu presents Zatanna with a new chance to make an appearance in Live-Action.
In the DCU, Kiana Madeira's ideal role as Zatanna might come to pass. Reworked for the DCU, a resurrected version of Guillermo del Toro's abandoned Justice League Dark film may cast Zatanna alongside characters like Deadman, Swamp Thing, and John Constantine. This might be Madeira's chance to finally realize her dream of creating Zatanna.
The way James Gunn expands the DCU and whether Madeira gets to play Zatanna are two things that fans are excited to see. She is a serious contender for the iconic sorceress because of her acting background and excitement for the part.
