Audiences havent seen most of its heroes in action yet, but its already obvious that the DC Extended Universe is going to be just as sprawling and massive as its Marvel Studios equivalent. Man Of Steel was just a teaser; the real big business kicks off with Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, which will tee up two Justice League movies and a host of standalone superhero spin-offs. Its known that on top of Bats and Supes Warner Bros and DC Entertainment are planning films for Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, Cyborg, Shazam and the Green Lantern Corps, as well as their villain-centric Suicide Squad movie. You can bet good money that they wont stop there, either. If these movies make decent money, which most of them surely will, Warners and DC will quickly start looking for other comic book characters to adapt. Here are ten as-yet-uncast-in-the-DCEU heroes that deserve a chance on the big screen
10. Mera - Emma Watson
Mera is a bad-ass underwater-themed superheroine. Shes also the wife to Aquaman and the Queen of Atlantis. Theres already talk that Mera could crop up in the 2017 Justice League Part One movie, or in Aquamans 2018 standalone adventure. Either way, a truly strong female character like this could easily carry a spin-off if the casting is right. The rumour mill has pointed towards Amber Heard (best known as the zombie-next-door that Jesse Eisenberg killed in a Zombieland flashback) as a potential actress for the part, but it seems more plausible that Warner Bros will push for someone with more star power, especially if theyre hoping to line up Mera for her own solo film franchise. Emma Watson would be perfect. Shes worked in effects-heavy films before, excels with intelligent roles, and has also shown a feistier side in films like The Bling Ring. A role like Mera a strong independent character, with kick-ass superpowers (including telekinesis, telepathy and super strength) and interesting interpersonal relationships could be perfect for Watsons skill-set. Casting someone this much younger than Aquaman (Jason Momoa is 36, while Watson is 25) could make for an interesting dynamic between the pair, too. Hed probably want her to stay safe at home while battles with villains rage on, while Mera would undoubtedly have other ideas. This could be a recipe for comedy, drama and some damn entertaining superhero cinema.
