After weeks of auditions, Warner Bros and DC Films seemed to have found the next Batgirl. Sources tell Deadline about Leslie Grace being casted as Barbara Gordon on the "Batgirl" movie. The singer, composer and american actress, from dominican ascendance will be the main protagonist of the film.
Zoey Dutch was one of the options for the rol, but Grace Kept the rol due to her amazing audition according to sources. The In The Heights Star, joins Sasha Calle as one of the latin american actresses to be on DC.
The race bending has a latino background and this is good for the latino community and diversity. The production will make its debut on HBO Max, as one of the first DC installments to be exclusive for the streaming service.
So far, there is no clear who will play commissioner Gordon, but if Jeffrey Wright plays it as in the Batman movie, that will nail it.
