10 Female DC Superheroes Who Deserve Their Own Solo Movie
1. Vixen
When Marvel released Black Panther, the comic powerhouse proved that audiences are eager to see superheroes from different backgrounds get their spot in the limelight. DC could look to emulate that success by creating a film that focuses on Mari McCabe, AKA Vixen.
Thanks to the Tantu Totem, Vixen has all the powers of the animal kingdom. The totem was created by the god Anansi and passed down through the generations until it came into the hands of the McCabe family.
Mari’s mother protected the totem, only to be killed by her half-brother General Maksai, who coveted it for himself. After retrieving the totem from her uncle, Vixen vowed to protect Africa against all threats.
A Vixen film could take place in Africa and feature a mixture of mystical and political themes. In addition to creating a strong story for Mari, DC could tap into the power of CGI to make some truly spectacular animal animations. For example, Mari could channel the spirit of an extinct animal like a sabre-tooth cat and it might be incorporated into a fighting sequence - the possibilities are practically endless.
