![]() However, no other actor could be better for the role of the test pilot turned heroic savior of the day other than Glen Powell. But the popular vote seems to have gone to either Alden Ehrenreich or Zac Efron as Hal Jordan. There exists an unending list of actors suited to be the intergalactic ring bearer, depending on which version the DC audience will get to see in the new Justice League. Green Lantern Glen Powell as “Hangman” in Top Gun: Maverick Her physicality combined with the incredible range of talent she has portrayed since her breakthrough role in the Percy Jackson films as a Greek demigoddess makes her the perfect cast for the Amazonian warrior. ![]() To remain close to the comic book portrayal of Wonder Woman, the best-voted contender is Alexandra Daddario. However, if one steps away from the furious and ongoing debate on race and ethnicity that surrounds the last actor that portrayed the superhero, one can find a host of actresses suitable for the role. The Comic book lore has always depicted Diana Prince as a white female with striking eyes that are blue enough to put Daniel Craig to shame. The wave is planned for release in late Spring next year, just in time for my birthday.Also read: “Jensen Ackles for Batman or we walk”: The Boys Star Becomes Frontrunner in DCU Batman Race after James Gunn Reveals He Hasn’t Decided on The Brave and the Bold Casting Yetĭespite popular belief and much to the disappointment of most fans, the Amazonian warrior isn’t really from a tropical land resembling the Amazon. There are plans to include her sometime down the road. A Red Lantern Mera was planned to be included but she was scrapped due to the cost of tooling another figure. The Collect and Connect figure is going to be the modern version of the Anti-Monitor. I’m going to have fun comparing and contrasting them once I have the DCUC version as well.ĭC Universe Classics Wave 17 will also feature Hal Jordan as a White and Black Lantern, Violet Lantern Wonder Woman, Orange Lantern Lex Luthor, Indigo Lantern Atom, and Yellow Lantern Scarecrow. I will say that Mattel has done a great job at making the many points of articulation on their figures less noticeable but I still find them to be less appealing. Especially since I prefer to have less articulation in my figures. ![]() ![]() Funny how I complain yet still plan on purchasing it anyway.Īs far as this one versus DC Direct’s version? I’m digging the glossy paint job on the DC Direct version a lot more, that and the overall sculpt is just more pleasing to me. I will say that the Blue Lantern uniforms are still very striking visually and despite my annoyance at essentially already owning three of the same figure (Wave 7, TRU Gold Repaint and Giants of Justice) and having to add yet another repaint to my DCUC collection, I still may pick this up. Although what I would really want is Wally or Jay. Still is it too much to ask for even a Zoom? I’m already kind of burnt out on Blue Lantern Barry (after the Heroclix and the aforementioned DC Direct version) and I can never get enough of Zoom. Okay, I’m always excited for just about anything Flash, especially when it comes to action figures, and I hate to be ungrateful but do we really need another Barry in the DC Universe Classics Line so soon? Yes, I can understand the inclusion of the figure because 1) It’s cheaper to reuse a mold than to commission a new one, 2) Blackest Night is DC’s most successful comic event to date and I would be foolish to expect them not to try and cash in on it and 3) Barry is the main Flash again and DC is determined to avoid highlighting any other speedsters until Barry has been firmly established in every medium. Right after DC Direct releases Blue Lantern Barry Allen for Wave 6 of their Blackest Night line of action figures, Mattel announces the release of Blue Lantern Barry in the upcoming Blackest Night-themed Wave 17 of the acclaimed DC Universe Classics Series: ![]()
