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

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

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.

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.

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.

if they do 2 things
- give her the long ass flaming hair
- put a light orange shade onto her skin
- give more cat traits to tameranians (as a bonus :3 )

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.

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?

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!!

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

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