Anya Taylor-Joy
American-born British/Argentinian actress Anya Taylor-Joy has had a terrific couple of years. After making a big impression in the likes of Morgan, The Witch and Split, she’s become one of the major upcoming stars to watch in Hollywood for her ability to portray a maturity beyond her years.
That’s what makes the perfect candidate for a Batgirl based off The New 52 version. Taylor-Joy would excel at playing a young woman suffering from PTSD and struggling to reassess her identity after a dark period. At 20-years-old, she’s also just about at the right age (especially if Babs is aged down to be a college student rather than a graduate).
The only trouble is that she might be tied up with another rival superhero franchise, as last we heard she was signing up to play Magik in the X-Men movie New Mutants. Still, there’s always the possibility that Taylor-Joy could find the time to juggle both.
