RUMOR MILL: VIXEN Project Said To Be In The Works As Part Of The DC Extended Universe

We spent some time with Vixen in the Arrowverse, but if a new rumour is to be believed, it sounds like we can now expect to see the character brought to the big screen in the not too distant future...

In "Rumor Mill," we share the hard to buy rumours that don't come from reliable sources like the trades, but are still more believable (just) than what you might find on Reddit. 

Vixen is definitely a popular character, and after appearing in Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, and her own CW Seed animated series, it sounds like there may now be plans for her on the big screen too. According to a story shared by GWW, they've learned from "multiple, separate sources" that a project is being developed featuring the character in the DC Extended Universe. 

There's no information beyond that, with it said only that this Vixen project is in the early stages of development and that Warner Bros. is currently taking pitches from filmmakers. 

Of course, there's nothing to say this will wind up playing in theaters, and it's entirely possible that the project is being developed for HBO Max. That's going to be the home for a number of big budget DC Comics movies and shows, so a character like Vixen could fit in nicely in that corner of the DCEU. 

Created by Gerry Conway and Bob Oksner in 1981's Action Comics #521, Mari Jiwe McCabe possesses the Tantu Totem and is able to harness the spirit of any animal, unleashing its powers in the process. She's a cool character, and definitely one that has some live-action potential. 

Are you excited for this potential Vixen movie or TV show?

Well that would be awesome, I’ve been saying for years and years that DC should be pushing the characters of Black Canary, Vixen, Stargirl and Zatanna a lot more and maybe finally they are beginning to do just that (except for actually in the comic books). I know that several of my ex-girlfriends would have loved Vixen and she would of been their favorite superhero if they knew she even existed.

Is it just me or does vixen looks the most rediculous in live action, CG lion silhouette shows up somewhere behind her while she just roars or scratches people.

Vixen would be a cool way to not only introduce the concept of the Red (and bring in characters like Animal Man) but also open the door to more African deities.

I remember Vixen from the Justice League cartoon. Pretty much a dictionary of DC lore to me.

@tb86 - She was great in that show. I loved any scene that involved her and Hawkgirl.

DC needs to stop. Just reboot their universe and use the Marvel Method.
