Kiana Madeira, a Canadian actress, has expressed her interest in playing Zatanna in James Gunn’s growing DC Universe (DCU). With the DCU still in its early stages and much anticipation around what Gunn will bring to the table, the buzz around casting choices is heating up. Madeira, known for her roles in Netflix’s Trinkets and the Fear Street trilogy, is now throwing her hat in the ring for the role of the famed DC Comics magician.

Zatanna Zatara, created by Gardner Fox and Murphy Anderson, is a cornerstone of DC Comics, first appearing in Hawkman #4 in November 1964. As the daughter of magician Zatara, she is part of the homo magi race, humans with inherent magical abilities. Zatanna is not only a professional illusionist but also a mystic superhero, tackling malevolent forces with her vast knowledge of the arcane arts. Her skills make her comparable to characters like John Constantine.

Madeira’s enthusiasm for the role is evident. She said, ‘Absolutely!! I would love to play Zatanna! That would be fire.’ Her background in both television and film, including a part in The Flash and as Supergirl in the animated series My Adventures with Superman, showcases her readiness for a more significant venture within the DCU. We are keeping an eye on how things unfold and are excited about the possibility of Zatanna joining the big screen, given her impactful presence in DC’s animated works.

The decision to cast Madeira as Zatanna has not been confirmed, but her declaration has certainly sparked interest among us fans. As we eagerly await more news on the DCU’s development under Gunn’s direction, it’s clear that the potential for exploring lesser-known characters and stories is immense.
