10 Villains We Want To See In The DC Extended Universe (And Who Should Play Them)

The future of the DC Extended Universe is in a state of flux at the moment, but one thing that does look set to happen in an upcoming movie is the formation of the Legion of Doom (or Injustice League) - a band of supervillains to face off against the might of the League. After all, JL's post-credits scene, featuring Lex Luthor recruiting Deathstroke, caused such excitement from fans that DC would be wise to double down on its promise.

Catwoman – Lena Headey

Like her love interest Batman, Catwoman has been depicted a hell of a lot more times than most DC characters on the big screen. Nevertheless, she’s such a popular figure that it would hardly be the DC universe without her. So, it’s no surprise that she’s expected to appear in the next few years, probably via either Gotham City Sirens or The Batman. As such, it seems that every actress under the sun has been linked with the part of Selina Kyle.

But who would be our pick? Well, though there are many fan favourite choices, such as Rebecca Ferguson, Emily Blunt or Olivia Wilde, they strike us as a little too “safe.” Sure, they would be great, but there’s one actress we don’t think is being talked about half as much as she should be: Game of Thrones‘ Lena Headey.

Apart from being a ridiculously close visual match to the modern portrayal of Selina Kyle, Headey has the sass, grit and all-round acting chops to pull off the role of the only woman to run rings around Batman. Make it happen, DC!
