Vikings Star Katheryn Winnick Wants Black Canary Role
Will we ever see Dinah Drake on the big screen?
Vikings star Katheryn Winnick has offered a less-than-subtle reminder that she wants to play Black Canary in a future DC Comics movie.
The Canadian actress, who has spoken at length about her ambitions to land the role of Dinah Drake, has posted fan art depicting her as the comic book crimefighter on her Twitter page...
Katie Cassidy plays a version of the character in the Arrow TV series, but Warner Bros appears to have no plans to bring Black Canary to its movie line.
In the comic books, Drake is a world-class martial artist with an ability called the 'Canary Cry', a sonic scream which is powerful enough to potentially kill a Kyptonian.
The heroine is a recurring character Birds of Prey, Justice League Unlimited, Smallville, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Young Justice, and occasionally a love interest for Green Arrow.
Warner Bros is yet to comment on the possibility of bringing Green Arrow to its DC cinematic universe, but a fan campaign has championed the project with Charlie Hunnam proposed as the protagonist and Winnick as the Canary.
The studio is embracing girl power with its forthcoming Wonder Woman movie and commitment to Gotham City Sirens, so here's hoping it will find a place for the Canary to perch in the future.
