Many fans have wanted to see Priyanka Chopra make the jump into the comic book movie genre for quite a while, and it looks like the Quantico actress is more than happy to oblige.

While being interviewed by OK Magazine about her villainous role in the Baywatch movie, Chopra revealed that she has her sights firmly set on playing a superhero character. Though she doesn't seem to be dead-set on anyone in particular at first, after some thought she mentions Batgirl.


“But my dream part is, now that I’m working in America, I definitely want to do a superhero part. When I think of American movies, they’ve had superheroes for eons right? So I definitely want to play a superhero and I want to have an interesting super power. I don’t know… Batgirl would be so cool!”
 

Of course, it's difficult to know if Chopra is actually a Batgirl fan of is she's simply awarw that Joss Whedon has a movie in the works, but either way the actress says nobody has reached out to her about the role - although, she does mention that there has been some "chatter" about some other projects.

What do you guys think? Would Chopra be your pick for Batgirl? What about another DCEU character? Sound off below.

@SanDevil - She's actually a really good actress. Watch the first season of Quantico for proof. Stop after that, cause season 2 is shit.

@SanDevil - She's been acting for decades in Bollywood, and let me be the first to tell you, shes' a [frick]ing incredible actress. She can act circles around Gal Gadot and hell, even Scarlett Johannsen.

@MonsieurCringe - Gal Gadot gave an excellent performance in Wonder Woman. Easily her best. She has greatly improved for a new actress. Scarlett has also done some very excellent work in smaller films where she is actually allowed to showcase her ability.

Chopra is a very good actress. She has proven this over her career and it's nice to see her breaking out in North America.

See how it's possible to prove a point without having to insult another person's acting ability?

@SanDevil - Yes, she's actually a very good actress.

I can't see her as Bat Girl but Talia or Nyssa Al Ghul for sure.

@bigdannymac - Who's acting ability did I insult? She can act circles around Gal Gadot and Scarlet Johannson to an extent. Those are merely the facts from my point-of-view.

@MonsieurCringe - "even Scarlett Johannsen." If that's your argument for Priyanka's acting talents you have lost Monsieur. lol

Not sure about Batgirl. I think she might fit Poison Ivy better.

Would love to see Priyanka star in a comic movie, but maybe play someone a bit more exotic. Good actress but her American accent isn't that good.
Is stunning, saw her at an event in London about ten years ago
