American actress Isabela MercedIsabela Merced will play Hawkgirl in the upcoming Superman movie, starring David CorenswetDavid Corenswet as the Man of Steel. She can’t wait for everyone to see the film and start calling her Hawkgirl!

While speaking to Collider, Merced shared that she would feel honored if people recognized her for the role without needing to know her real name. Another reason she would love it is that “Hawkgirl” sounds like “hot girl”, which Merced is completely okay with.

The film’s director, James Gunn, recently answered a fan’s question about whether Hawkgirl’s wings in Superman will be organic or mechanical, confirming that they will be organic. This is great news for fans of the comic books, where Hawkgirl is depicted as an extraterrestrial being.
