According to Deadline, WarnerBros. and DC have finally confirmed that they will produce a solo film about the heroine Zatana.
For those who don’t know, Zatanna is a witch who inherited her powers from her parents, John Zatara and Sindella, descendants of the homo magi race.
Among her main skills, she is able to cast magic, materialize objects with thought, teleport, heal wounds and manipulate time and space.
The character was once part of the Dark Justice League alongside John Constantine, until she was invited as an honorary member of the original Justice League.
Emilia Clarke was one of the main candidates to bring life to the character on the big screen. However, taking on this role doesn’t seem to be in the cards for this famous “Mother of Dragon.”
Now, according to the news medium We Got This Covered details about who is being eyed to play this mystical character have surfaced. It is none other than ‘The Witchers’ own Anya Chalotra, who has taken Netflix viewers by storm in her role as Yennefer, the “piglet” turned mighty sorcerous.
Although Chalotra was still a great unknown, she had already enjoyed great fame in her native country, United Kingdom. The actress of Indian origin, who is closely linked to her family roots, has dedicated her life to the world of theater and it was not until 2018 when she began her career in the world of television and streaming platforms. Something logical, considering that the interpreter is only 23 years old.
In 2018, the actress premiered in the production the Wanderlust series in which she gave life to Jennifer Ashman. Not to be confuses with Yennefer from ‘The Witcher.’ This six-episode miniseries chronicles the life of a psychologist in an unhappy marriage, which is forced to fix her marital problems in a rather dubious way. The series is a co-production of BBC One and Netflix. This is where Chalotra’s journey on the streaming platform began.
Chalotra’s great opportunity arose out of nowhere, thanks to Andrzej Sapkowski’s new adaptation of the literary universe, ‘The Witcher’. A fiction that already had a Polish film (which turned out to be a failure) and a successful saga of video games. However, the actress had never seen any of the works before, as she has confessed in various interviews.
After this, the actress joined two other series: Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders and Sherwood. The first is a miniseries based on the work of the renowned mystery author and was accompanied by actors such as John Malkovich and Rupert Grint, among others. The actress lent her voice to one of the animated characters of the original YouTube series Sherwood. Another fictional story she did was Robin Hood, about a 10-year-old boy living constant adventures.
Although she co-starreded with Freya Allen (Ciri) and Henry Cavill (Geralt). Of course, the actress has become one of The Witcher’s favorite characters. A talent like Chalotra will continue to impress us with many new roles. Her professional career has just begun.
