Justice League Movie Recast: 10 Fantasy Castings
9. Tessa Thompson As Hawkgirl
First of all, yes I know that Tessa Thompson is set to play Valkyrie in Thor 3. Second of all, this hypothetical Justice League reboot is being released in five years time so it’ll be extra easy for her.
Having taken leading female roles in Creed and Selma, Thompson has also recently nailed a recurring role in Westworld. To pull off Hawkgirl you need someone who can fight, charm but also nail the role of master strategist. Thompson, with the understated charm that has made her so hireable, could easily pull this part off.
And as I said, she’s about to play Valkyrie so working with CGI and the egos that an ensemble cast like this brings with it should be less of an issue. And finally yes, it’s be nice to have a little diversity in the League outside of Cyborg.
