When it was learned that Anna Diop was cast as Starfire for the upcoming Titans live-action TV series, the internet erupted .
Some fans thought Anna Diop was too old for the role, some didn’t think she matched the character correctly, etc.
We haven’t seen what Starfire is going to look like, an image, poster or footage, so I’m not ready to bang the gavel just yet.
Anna Diop did recently share video of herself on Twitter getting scanned for the visual effects of Starfire, so it appears they are going to make her resemble the DC Comics version. Marvel Studios did something similar with Gamora and Zoe Saldana in Guardians of the Galaxy, so there is that (I’m actually not a fan of Zoe Saldana as Gamora, but that has more to do with James Gunn’s writing of the character).
