The Hawkgirl actress, Isabela Merced, has sparked excitement among DC fans. She recently revealed which Justice League character she hopes Hawkgirl will romance in the DCU.

During a recent interview with Nerdist, the Superman star didn’t hold back. When asked about potential love interests for her character, she responded with enthusiasm. In particular, she named Green Lantern John Stewart, played by Aaron Pierre in the upcoming Lanterns series, as her ideal romantic match.

“I love the idea, and that’s why I love Lois and Clark, the love story between aliens and humans. There’s something so romantic about it.”

For longtime fans, the reference will be instantly recognizable. In the animated Justice League series, Hawkgirl and John Stewart were a beloved on-screen couple — one that added emotional depth to an otherwise action-heavy show.

Why the Hawkgirl Actress Thinks It Works in the DCU

In the DCU’s evolving mythology, both Hawkgirl and John Stewart are deeply rooted in cosmic lore.

The Hawkgirl actress, Isabela Merced, plays a reincarnated alien warrior trapped in human form — a character whose story blends emotional complexity with celestial legacy.

Meanwhile, John Stewart, portrayed by Aaron Pierre, is a former U.S. Marine. Eventually, he ascends to become a cosmic protector through the Green Lantern Corps. Armed with purpose, he wields one of the universe’s most powerful weapons, guided by duty, discipline, and heart.

Together, they represent a compelling balance of humanity and otherworldliness. Moreover, this alien-human connection aligns perfectly with the grounded yet mythic tone that James Gunn is carefully crafting in the new DCU.

It’s no wonder fans are eager to see this iconic romance take flight — quite literally.

What’s Next for Hawkgirl in the DCU?

The Hawkgirl actress, Isabela Merced, will make her DCU debut in James Gunn’s Superman, which hits theaters on July 11, 2025. She stars alongside:

  • David Corenswet as Superman
  • Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane
  • Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor
  • With supporting roles by Nathan Fillion, Anthony Carrigan, Skyler Gisondo, Edi Gathegi, Wendell Pierce, and more

In her first appearance, Hawkgirl will be part of the Justice Gang, a corporate-backed superhero team. However, her inclusion strongly suggests a path toward joining the Justice League. In fact, this setup not only teases her evolution as a hero but also hints at a possible live-action romance with Green Lantern.

As James Gunn continues to shape the new DCU, fans are increasingly hopeful that the animated chemistry between Hawkgirl and John Stewart will finally become canon in the cinematic universe. Moreover, with Merced herself openly backing the idea, there’s a strong chance that dream may not be far from reality.
