Katheryn Winnick (Vikings, The Art of The Steal) has announced that she's signed on for a new project, the full details of which will be revealed at San Diego Comic-Con next week.

We don't have anything else to go on right now, but because Winnick has campaigned to play DC superheroine Black Canary in the past, some fans are once again excited at the prospect that she may have landed the role.

While there is a slim chance this is indeed the case, we don't know if this mystery project is even CBM-related so probably best not to get your hopes up. That said, the fact that the news is being announced at SDCC does suggest that it will be something of interest to us fanboys and girls.

What do you guys make of this? Sound off in the usual place.

@KatheryneWinnick is working on a secret project that will be announced at SDCC.

ConnorHawkeye - 7/11/2017, 12:03 PM

@ConnorHawkeye - * younger perfect jason todd!

leethario - 7/11/2017, 12:41 PM

@ConnorHawkeye - travis and Anthony star from Banshee need some cbm roles.

Gizmoduck - 7/11/2017, 3:52 PM

@ConnorHawkeye - Charlie Hunnam or Travis Fimmel for GA, Hunnam has the better smirk, like GA imo - also grows a better beard.

YouDontKnowMe - 7/11/2017, 7:49 PM

@leethario - I know we won't see the character for a while now, but I would LOVE to see Antony Starr take on the role of Wolverine.

sparkadv - 7/12/2017, 6:37 AM

@ConnorHawkeye - Travis Fimmel would've been the perfect Aquaman but he would make a great Green Arrow too.

Ha1frican - 7/11/2017, 12:04 PM

I'm down

MarvelDCAllDay - 7/11/2017, 12:04 PM

That would be really cool. Hope one day some form of Green Arrow can join her.

NinnesMBC - 7/11/2017, 12:06 PM

Ah yes this I saw it on Twitter last week.

Could be anything tbh.

If it is for DCEU it likely will be for their upcoming and super-in-the-works Gotham City Sirens. Maybe she will be Black Canary and will face off against Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy and Catwoman etc. I think they were fast-tracking it and if not there have to be some updates in their slate because right now they are only working on post production JL and filming Aquaman. There is nothing else.

And it has been approximately 7 months since Gotham City Sirens was announced.

They need to get things started.

@NinnesMBC - Actually, I think she'd be pretty good for Ivy as well.

SimplyAz - 7/11/2017, 12:08 PM

THat is some awesome casting also she's a Black Belt in Martial Arts and got her first Black Belt at 13. Man, I wish I had stuck with Karate as a kid, would go well with my love of fitness.

Talontd - 7/11/2017, 4:35 PM

@SimplyAz - I've seen guys pick it up in their 30's and excel....never too late bro...

pepe - 7/11/2017, 10:02 PM

@Talontd - She wares to tight socks....

SimplyAz - 7/11/2017, 10:42 PM

@Talontd - Cool dude, might try and pick it up.

blackandyellow - 7/11/2017, 12:10 PM

I hope the piece de resistance of the DCEU panel is announcing who's playing Shazam and its release date. The sooner we see Black Adam, the better.

SimplyAz - 7/11/2017, 12:13 PM

@blackandyellow -

My slightly unique pick for Shazam is Owain Yeoman, a good actor, bought a lot of humour to his role in THe Mentalist, also has the required square Jaw

blackandyellow - 7/11/2017, 12:27 PM

@SimplyAz - It'll probably be a no-name actor with some comedy background, if I had to guess.

OanAvenger - 7/12/2017, 12:50 PM

@blackandyellow - If they look for comedic actors first, Patrick Warburton would be good. Or Rob Riggle.

Doomsday8888 - 7/11/2017, 12:11 PM

I wanted her as Carol Danvers.
What about Supergirl for a MOS 2?

Maybe brainwhased by Darkseid as seen in Superman/Batman: Apocalypse!
Her and Cavill....oh shit!

It's time to change her image, the way the world views Supergirl, make her badass!

Bring Braniac, with Kandor and Argo City, so in a way, also her parents!

Man...if only...

Injustice 2 was f*cking LIT!!!!
