Supergirl: Yara Shahidi and 4 others who can nail the role of Kryptonian hero in DCEU

There cannot be a better time for Warner Bros to push for a Supergirl film, not only adding more icons to the lineup in the process but also diversifying the existing roster.

Major changes are in order in DC's corner of the cinematic universe - dubbed DCEU - and if latest reports are any indication, all attention is right now on a Supergirl-led movie. A bold move on part of the Warner Bros/DC camp indeed, it is yet to be seen who is chosen for the much-talked-about role of the Kryptonian superhero. 

Co-incidentally, the news of a solo feature for Supergirl surfaced around the same time as Henry Cavill's exit from the DC roster as Superman. Having played the caped hero in three movies - 'Man of Steel', 'Superman vs Batman: Dawn of Justice', and 'Justice League' - the actor seems ready to finally hang up his boots, making it even more essential for the franchise to fill up the Cavill-sized void.
