Fans all seem to have a favorite when it comes to who they want to see play Batgirl on the big screen. However, Joss Whedon says that he currently doesn’t have a specific actress in mind for the role.
“I don’t have my eye on anybody. I feel like I’m creating this character, I’m in a dialogue with her and then we’ll see who joins that later on. I doubt it will be a name. I think it’s just something where you go and find Batgirl then you cast her.”
Whedon also noted that it might not be a big star who gets the role, as he wants to cast the right person regardless of star power. But he did joke that Vin Diesel could be the one to put on the cowl.
“I’m not against movie stars, they’re great, but you need somebody who’s going to be just right. In a situation like this, the name carries a lot of weight, so it’s not as critical. So, definitely Vin Diesel.”
