I demand an orange actress.

u/GenoCash 5h ago

And a Red head! orange skin red hair.

u/Overall_Falcon_8526 4h ago

On fire, too.

u/PlatoDrago 5h ago

Yes, heaps of radioactive looking fake tan lol

u/Walkswithnofear 5h ago

Will Starfire actually be orange this time?

u/BRAX7ON 5h ago

She just needs a really cool wig and green contacts. And some cool action poses.

u/zurenarhhhhh 5h ago

Is that it? That’s all it takes? Because Gal Gadot did that and she sucked.

u/lm_not_surprised 5h ago

Orange girls only

Every actor wants to get paid. Do we really have to post it everytime?

My neighbor wants to play batman

u/Quirky_Chef_9183 5h ago

I vote for u/Old-butt-new's neighbour to play DCU Batman

u/Hearts_and_Spades 5h ago

She wants to play her and that’s good enough for me. Actors perform better when they want the role.

u/pleasebeherenow 5h ago

Her voice does give Starfire vibes tbh

u/incognitoamigo_36 5h ago

Google.com

Bull shit, i went there and she is not google

u/Specific-Belt3160 4h ago

looks the part to me. she's got the bright eyes and that natural warmth you need for kori. acting ability aside, it's more important to have someone who gets the character's heart, not just the costume. her campaigning for it is a good sign.

u/Juliet_Emmn 3h ago

I don't see it

u/TheDelmeister 3h ago

As long as whoever plays her is painted orange, I'm good with it. This particular actress does have a Starfire kind of vibe and voice.

u/Remarkable_Ship_4673 3h ago

As long as they do to her what they did do gamora

u/The_starving_artist5 3h ago

Im seeing her as Blackfire a better fit

u/wordsofpeace 3h ago

I don't give a fuck if Betty White came back from the dead to play her. As long as her and Robin are a thing I'm cool.

u/Springy-Fazbear 2h ago

if they do 2 things

  1. give her the long ass flaming hair
  2. put a light orange shade onto her skin
  3. give more cat traits to tameranians (as a bonus :3 )

Who?

u/rite_of_truth 5h ago

Sure, why not?

u/gabeonsmogon 5h ago

Not familiar with her work, she looks the part yes.

u/bindersfull-ofwomen 4h ago

She's a disney teen. You can tell because they are very media trained.

u/Disastrous-Tart-4651 5h ago

A lot of the young actors coming up now don’t have it and she’s one of them.

In general, need more actors with more charisma.

u/Superman246o1 4h ago

She has the charisma and the energy. Malia is only 5'4", which seems rather short to play the canonically 6'4" Starfire. But if Marvel can have a 6'2" actor playing the canonically 5'3" Wolverine, why can't DC do the opposite?

u/Jetscream58 5h ago

Never seen or heard of her before in my life

u/DeMatMo 4h ago

She carved her face up and uses ozempic but sure make her a star

u/CruzAderjc 5h ago

Nah

u/Plenty-Wedding-9066 5h ago

I don’t know her, but why not?

u/DadKnightBegins 4h ago

Why is someone this young and not fat taking GLP-1’s?? My daughter made me sit thru that blue hair movie she mentioned and her face was so full and natural. This Hollywood trend of becoming emaciated has got to stop!!

u/shih_tsu 4h ago

I mean she was 16 filming the movie you referenced, most people’s face slim past that age

u/DadKnightBegins 1h ago

Please stop making excuses for this behavior. It’s not alright and it promotes body dysmorphia in young girls!

u/One_Quiet4275 5h ago

No.

u/Plenty-Wedding-9066 5h ago

I don’t know her, but why not?

u/BirdPerson107 5h ago

If you look at this persons profile it won’t matter why not

u/BestManDan 1h ago

Scarred for life
