February 19, 2025: James Gunn Confirms Hawkgirl’s Wings Will Be Organic in the DCU!
The article from MAXBLZZ reports that James Gunn answered with one word when a fan asked him if Hawkgirl's wings were organic.
On Threads, a fan asked James Gunn if Hawkgirl’s wings in the Superman trailer were organic or mechanical, as they were struggling with their eyesight and couldn’t tell. They also thanked Gunn for creating a great cinematic universe.
Gunn simply replied, “Organic.”
There is a lot of debate going on about which Hawkgirl Isabela Merced will portray. I personally think that it will be Kendra for the following reasons:
1. Kendra Saunders is Hispanic. Isabela Merced's mother is from Peru and she considers herself more Peruvian than American.
2. The current Kendra Saunders in the comics has organic wings. Depending on the artist, they look more metallic but I've seen both.
3. Hawkman is nowhere around. It appears that Hawkgirl is "employed" by Max Lord as some sort of task force. Knowing Hawkman's character, I would have a hard believing that Carter Hall would join this sort of group. I hope we'll find out where Hawkman is in future movies, but I'm guessing Kendra and Carter work together at times but they usually go their own way. That would fit better with the "proper" Kendra-Carter relationship.
What do you guys think? Definitely interested in what your guess would be. Post it in the comment section below!
