Zendaya Wants to Play a Villain – And the DCU Could Have the Perfect Role

As James Gunn and Peter Safran’s vision for the DC Universe evolves, it’s clear it’s going to have a mix of old and young faces. The Zack Snyder era leaned more into the former, but the changes provided Warner Bros. the opportunity to revamp the slate. It’s evident with the likes of Isabela Merced being cast as Hawkgirl and Superman: Legacy having a 30-year-old David Corenswet as Clark Kent.It’s all about achieving that middle ground, with WB looking to appeal to a younger audience. Interestingly, one of this generation’s most popular faces, Zendaya, has said she’d be intrigued with a villainess role. Now, while the Euphoria star didn’t specifically say Marvel or DC, WB does have the perfect comic book movie role for her to play: Poison Ivy.It’s no secret that Zendaya is one of the highest-profile actors around. Her role as Rue in Euphoria is Emmy-award-winning gold, and with each episode, she keeps raising the TV bar. And with HBO being one of WB’s strongest performers, it seems like a natural fit. But that’s not Zendaya’s only in, as she also worked with the studio on Denis Villeneuve’s Dune. Zendaya plays Chani, a role she’ll reprise in the upcoming Dune: Part Two. Fans are all in to see her and Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides embark on a new journey that includes a romance.RELATED: James Gunn Praises Wonder Woman Historia Amid Paradise Lost Rumors
