6 Sexiest Upcoming Female Characters In Comic Book Movies

No Comments

Comic book movies have featured a number of strong, sexy female characters over the years; Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Halle Berry as Storm, Anna Paquin as Rogue, Jessica Alba as Invisible Woman and Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman, just for a few examples. However, male characters have been far more prominent.

That looks set to change in the coming years, as movie studios are putting their confidence in female characters, with the likes of Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel set to get their own movies (although the latter has not yet been cast, so don’t expect to find her in this list).

With that in mind, we’re going to take a look at some of the confirmed female castings in upcoming comic book movies and list the sexiest of them that we can look forward to seeing.

Here are the six sexiest upcoming female characters in comic book movies (note that the list will only take into consideration new characters – or at least characters being played by new actresses – hence the word “upcoming”)…

Enchantress (Cara Delevingne)

Enchantress hasn’t exactly looked particularly hot in the limited Suicide Squad scenes that have been made public so far but, come on, she’s being played by Cara Delevingne and is called Enchantress – of course she’s going to be sexy!

The model-turned-actress – whose limited acting experience includes a minor role in 2012’s Anna Karenina – will take on the part of the magic user – who has been both a heroine and villainess in the comic books – in the 2016 DC and Warner Brothers offering and is bound to set pulses racing with her hotness.

Expect the character to use both her undeniable beauty and her amazing magic powers to manipulate men into doing her bidding. With that in mind, she will definitely be a key member of the titular team.

Going by the trailers, she may actually be the character that the titular team are sent to retrieve, which would be interesting.

Mercy Graves (Tao Okamoto)

Tao Okamoto is a Japanese model and actress who has already appeared in a comic book movie – 2013’s The Wolverine, in which she was the female lead Mariko Yashida and in what was her first acting role – and she is set to appear in another in 2016.

She will portray Mercy Graves – the personal assistant and bodyguard of Superman’s arch-enemy Lex Luthor – in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

The beautiful star will undoubtedly have a “sexy secretary” sort of vibe going on and will definitely gain some new fans in the form of hordes of DC fans.

Not only will she look great, she’ll also kick some ass too (she may actually be an Amazon like Wonder Woman) – as Jesse Eisenberg’s Luthor will certainly need protecting at some point in the movie.

Invisible Woman (Sue Storm)

Kate Mara has some pretty big boots to fill when it comes to playing Sue Storm AKA the Invisible Woman in the upcoming 2015 movie Fantastic Four.

Jessica Alba was one of the few positive things to come out of the previous attempt at a Fantastic Four franchise – which was otherwise pretty terrible – and the Dark Angel actress undoubtedly looked hot in the role.

Thankfully, Mara looks just as hot, as far as we can tell from what has been shown in the trailers for the reboot, and therefore finds herself on this list.

The American Horror Story: Murder House and 127 Hours actress will portray the powerful character who can erect powerful forcefields in addition to being able to make both herself and others invisible.

Psylocke (Olivia Munn)

A version of Psylocke appeared in X-Men: The Last Stand – where she was played by Meiling Melançon – but the character’s sexiness is set to be taken up a couple of notches by the gorgeous Olivia Munn in X-Men: Apocalypse.

The first images of the new version of the powerful psionic mutant have recently appeared alongside the first pictures of the titular villain – and she looks hotter than hell in her costume.

Her costume is fairly revealing and shape-hugging and also includes a sexy pair of thigh-high boots. Munn – who has appeared in movies like Iron Man 2 and Mortdecai – has voiced her approval of it in recent interviews.

The character will certainly embody the concept of female empowerment and she’ll do it whilst undoubtedly looking incredibly gorgeous.

Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot)

Although she has appeared in four of the Fast and Furious movies, Gal Gadot is still hardly a household name – so when she was cast as the iconic superheroine Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, eyebrows were certainly raised.

The Israeli fashion model-turned-actress certainly has big boots to fill – aside from a failed pilot starring Adrianne Palicki, the last person to play Wonder Woman in live action was Lynda Carter in the classic television series.

Wonder Woman is an Amazon warrior with amazing superpowers who requires a big presence to play her – and whether or not Gadot can pull the role off remains to be seen. One thing is for sure, however – she looks extremely sexy in her outfit, as seen in the promo material and trailers for Batman v Superman.

She will also portray the character going forward in the DC Cinematic Universe – including in a solo movie in 2017 – so DC and Warner Brothers obviously trust her.

Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie)

Holy cr*p! Has there ever been a character hotter than Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn in another comic book movie? Heck, has there ever been a character hotter than Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn in any movie?!

The star of The Wolf of Wall Street looks absolutely incredible as the Joker’s accomplice and girlfriend in the Suicide Squad trailers and promo material seen so far – not least because she appears to be perfect for the role in question.

In the limited amount of dialogue that we’ve heard so far, she doesn’t seem to have quite as strong a New York accent as is suggested in the comic books and heard in animated depictions, but that could become more noticeable as we hear more from her.

The fact is, Robbie in the role is enough reason for any red-blooded male (and some females, of course) to watch Suicide Squad, as she is playing one hell of a sexy adaptation of the Batman adversary.

What do you think? Are these the sexiest upcoming female characters in comic book movies? Should we have included Sophie Turner’s Jean Grey, Karen Fukuhara’s Katana, Lana Condor’s Jubilee, Alexandra Shipp’s Storm or anyone else? Have your say below.
