KNIGHTS OF THE ZODIAC Star Madison Iseman Responds To SUPERGIRL: WOMAN OF TOMORROW Fan Casts (Exclusive)

Talking to us about Knights of the Zodiac, star Madison Iseman (Jumanji: The Next Level) responds to the growing support she has from DC fans to take on the lead role in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow...

Based on the international anime sensation, Knights of the Zodiac brings the Saint Seiya saga to the big screen in live-action for the first time. In the movie, Seiya (Mackenyu), a headstrong street teen, spends his time fighting for cash while he searches for his abducted sister.

However, when one of his fights unwittingly taps into mystical powers he never knew he had, Seiya finds himself thrust into a world of warring saints, ancient magical training and a reincarnated goddess who needs his protection. If he’s to survive, he will need to embrace his destiny and sacrifice everything to take his rightful place among the Knights of the Zodiac.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and I Know What You Did Last Summer star Madison Iseman plays Sienna/Athena in the film, and we recently spoke with the actress about her dual roles in this long-awaited adaptation. 

During the course of our conversation, superheroes came up and we asked Iseman if she was aware of the desire from fans to see her play the DCU's Supergirl. 

Sasha Calle will star as the character in The Flash this summer, but her future in the DCU is unclear. In fact, based on what we've heard about the way that story now ends, DC Studios may deliberately be closing the door on Calle's version of the character for fresh start in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow

So, could Iseman be the DCU's Supergirl? 

"Really? [Laughs] Am I? Okay," she responded when we told the Knights of the Zodiac star about the support she has from fans to play Kara Zor-El. "You know, that would be awesome. I love larger-than-life concepts and characters. I don’t know, maybe I’ll call my agent [Laughs]."

Iseman would be a great choice to bring Supergirl to life on the big screen, so fingers crossed that all the chatter among fans will at least open the door to the possibility. She steals the show in this movie, anyway, and a major superhero role feels like a natural next step. 

Based on original stories and characters from the Manga Saint Seiya by Masami Kurumada, Knights of the Zodiac is directed by Tomek Baginski and stars Mackenyu, Famke Janssen, Madison Iseman, Diego Tinoco, Mark Dacascos, Nick Stahl, and Sean Bean.

The movie will be released in theaters on May 12.

considering we are probably getting a 20 something superman, be better to cast an early 20's supergirl at the oldest, playing a few years younger than they are

@ShimmyShimmyYA - First trailer dropped about 2 months ago. The marketing has been underwhelming which is probably why you havent seen it. Plus I don't think the majority of users here have ever seen it.

I seriously advice WBD and DC Studios' heads to think REALLY well before they decide to recast the first Latina actress to play Supergirl just for the sake of comic book accuracy.

Especially if they're actually thinking on keeping Ezra Miller regardless of what happens.

Think it REALLY well.

@NinnesMBC - also, the jaded character this supergirl will probably be since the one from that one is would work well for one that was knowingly imprisoned and in captivity her whole life

@NinnesMBC - Oooh. Is that a threat? Guess what? ACTUAL fans will always prefer comic accurate portrayals of a character than your idiotic census check box identity politics. Go cry about your Woke b.s. somewhere else.

As the only Saint Seiya fan on this site, I dont want anyone involved in that movie even close to Supergirl.

(jokes aside, I'm pretty sure James Gunn is waiting for Flash's numbers and audience's reception to Sasha Calle before starting with castings)
