Fan Cast: Katheryn Winnick as Black Canary (Dinah Drake)
“Wait a second… Arrow already has Caity Lotz as the
Canary, and the lovely Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance…”
That’s absolutely correct! And the Informers have been very
vocal about being pro-Arrow. However, this fan casting is more about the
upcoming Justice League movie under Zack Snyder. While it would be
awesome to see Stephen Amell and other mains from Arrow be tied into Justice
League, sometimes the cake is a lie.
Katheryn Winnick’s biggest role to date has been for History
Channel’s Vikings, which wrapped up its sophomore season in May. Winnick
plays the Viking legendary shieldmaiden, Lagertha, who pummels her way through
Norse and Saxon warriors alike. Possessing unparalleled ferocity from fight
scene-to-fight scene, Winnick also brings out a nurturing side when fostering
her on-screen son, Bjorn, which distinctly reminds me of Young Justice’s
version of a Black Canary who carefully mentors the young and inexperienced
Team. Aside from Vikings, Winnick has found no shortage of smaller
cinema roles and TV guest appearances kicking ass and looking fantastic.
A big contributor to her ass-kickery is the fact that Winnick is a third-degree
black belt in Tae Kwon Do, a second-degree black belt in Karate, and a licensed
bodyguard. Katheryn actually began her career as a martial arts instructor for
actors and had three studios open in New York and Toronto by the time she was
21. For more Katheryn Winnick, follow her as Norse skullcrushing badass
mother-of-maidens, Lagertha, in Vikings.
