Teyana Taylor Rumored to Play Vixen in Green Lantern Series

Rumors are flying faster than a speeding bullet, and fans are losing it (in the best way possible). Word on the comic book streets is that Teyana Taylormight be stepping into the DC Universe as none other than Vixen, alongside Aaron Pierre in the upcoming Green Lantern project.

Vixen (aka Mari McCabe) is a fierce DC superhero with the ability to channel the powers of any animal through her mystical Tantu Totem. Think the agility of a panther, the strength of a gorilla, the flight of an eagle—all packed into one stunning, unstoppable woman. And who better to embody that energy than Teyana, whose career has been a masterclass in transformation, strength, and pure it-factor?

Aaron Pierre, known for his role in Mufasa: The Lion King, is also set to appear in the upcoming DC series Lanterns. With both stars now linked romantically and professionally, fans are eagerly anticipating the possibility of them sharing the screen in the Green Lantern universe. Their real-life chemistry could translate into an on-screen dynamic that’s nothing short of supercharged

Teyana Taylor entered the game young, often underestimated, and entirely unapologetic. While many boxed her in as “just” a dancer or a music video muse, she flipped the narrative and showed the world she’s a creative powerhouse. Her directorial work has turned heads (“Wake Up Love,” “Concrete,” anyone?), her music has earned critical praise (The Album, K.T.S.E), and her acting? Please. A Thousand and One had critics screaming about Oscar snubs.

She didn’t wait for Hollywood to give her flowers—she planted her own damn garden and made them watch it bloom.

This isn’t just about a possible superhero casting. This is part of a larger Teyana Taylor Rebrand Era™, and every move has been intentional. She’s become a go-to in fashion (shoutout to that stunning Met Gala moment), has executive-produced films, choreographed for icons, and built a fitness empire while still raising a family. What can’t she do?

Taking on Vixen would be a full-circle moment for Teyana, whose physicality, intensity, and raw charisma make her tailor-made for superhero greatness. It would also be a win for representation, putting a powerful, dark-skinned Black woman at the center of the action—not as a sidekick, not in the background, but front and center in the cosmic chaos of the Green Lantern saga.

The comic book universe has needed a little shake-up. With Teyana as Vixen and Aaron Pierre (rumored to be playing a Green Lantern, possibly John Stewart) leading the charge, we’re talking about a whole new flavor for the DCU—one that’s bolder, fresher, and actually reflective of the world we live in.

Vixen is no stranger to the comic world, but she’s long deserved a big-screen glow-up. This casting would elevate her status from niche favorite to global icon, and bring fans—especially young Black girls—an unforgettable superhero to look up to.

Teyana’s Vixen would be the definition of powerful, graceful, and grounded. Her style, her swagger, her ability to bring depth and soul to every role? That’s exactly what the genre needs.

Whether or not this casting becomes official (manifesting it now), the idea alone is enough to send shockwaves through fandoms. Teyana Taylor has already proven she’s a one-woman force of nature. Putting that energy into Vixen? That’s not just a casting choice. That’s a cultural moment.

So DC… if you’re listening… go ahead and make the announcement.
