6) Mila Kunis as Zatanna (Justice League)

While there’s been no explicit mention of Zatanna in DC’s cinematic plans to date, the spellcaster has been an occasional member of the Justice League over the years and while she may be the least well-known character on this list, Zatanna certainly has the potential to become a popular cinematic hero in her own right.

By saying words backwards, Zatanna has the ability to alter reality itself, fighting supernatural forces using a range of powers limited only by her imagination. Teleportation, transmutatation, pulling rabbits out of hats… the possibilities are endless for DC’s premier sorceress.

Whether Zatanna is eventually used as a member of the Justice League or is featured in Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of the supernatural team Justice League Dark, the role would require an A-list actress who has both the charisma and sex appeal to pull the character off. Mila Kunis has impressed in a number of roles in recent years and the sultry illusionist would be a perfect fit for her, both in terms of looks and personality. Just picture her character from Black Swan in fishnet tights and you’ve got a brand new female superhero that could rival any of the other heroines out there right now.
