9 Female Superheroes That Should Get Their Own Films

The hype for Wonder Woman is real. Not only is it an important film for the DCEU, but it's also a pivotal point for future female superheroes on the big screen. If it does well, we could be receiving even more female-led blockbusters. If not, well, you know how Hollywood works. Hopefully, come June 2nd, we'll be discussing the beginning of a new era of superheroines and not the latter.

Vixen

Vixen has received a bit of love on Arrow and The CW in recent times, and she’s also been given a starring role in Steve Orlando’s Justice League of America series. However, that simply doesn’t feel enough for this character that possesses the powers of the animal kingdom. It’s simple: animals rule, so Vixen rules, too.

As her popularity burgeons, undoubtedly so do the voices demanding for a solo film. She’s been around since 1982, so there’s enough history to find a riveting storyline to adapt to the big screen. Whether it be from her animated series or even the Justice League of America storylines, there’s no shortage of inspiration in her source material.

In terms of casting Vixen, Megalyn Echikunwoke has done a superb job in both live-action and voice roles, so she should be the natural choice for the character’s movie adventures. If the filmmakers do decide to go with someone else, however, our money’s on The Walking Dead‘s Danai Gurira or Sonequa Martin-Green. Either of them would kill it as Vixen.

That’s it for now, but if you think we failed to mention obvious female superheroes, or you loved our list and would like to praise us, please leave your thoughts in the comments section down below.
