Justice League Eyes Its ‘Black Canary’
Superheroes are all the rage, and it looks like two actresses are being eyed for a role in the upcoming Justice League film. Early rumors have placed Alona Tal and Abbey Lee as front runners for the role of ‘Black Canary,’ the leather-clad lady currently portrayed by Katie Cassidy on CW’s Arrow. The two would stand alongside the greats, like Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, before potentially going on to headline their own Birds of Prey film, which might throw Harley Quinn and Batgirl into the mix. Rumors aside, this newest addition to the DC Universe would be one we’d be completely okay with. Blondes have more fun, right?
