10 DC Heroes Who Deserve Movie Deals (And Who Should Play Them)
7. Raven - Amanda Seyfried
Amanda Seyfried is one of those actresses who feels like she should have been in a superhero movie already. She tackled sci-fi action in In Time, comedic challenges in Ted 2 and Mean Girls, and deeper character material in Les Misérables and While Were Young. With that CV behind her, its clear that shes more than capable of slotting into a comic book movie universe. If DC want to snap Seyfried up, Raven could be the perfect role to cast her in. This human/demon hybrid would allow Seyfried to play around with a multifaceted and dark character. Shed get to expand her action skillset, too, in utilising Ravens telekinesis, clairvoyance, telepathy, teleportation and precognition on the big screen. In the same way in which Doctor Strange is set to add a new side to the MCU, releasing a Raven film could allow DC to explore darker and more supernatural themes and ideas. This would offer a stark alternative to their current slate, all of which seem like quite safe superhero choices. Seyfried has enough recognisability among cinemagoers to help negate the lesser-known nature of the Raven property, and to help get a few bums on cinema seats. And if the movie is well written and directed, it could become a bankable on-going franchise for Warner Bros and DC.
