In fact, I am not the only one who feels this way. Fan-casters have been imagining the perfect comic book movie role for the doe-eyed, 40-year-old, Golden Globe-nominated actress for years, with some seeing the unbeatable fan-favorite Squirrel Girl as an ideal choice for her (as well as for Anna Kendrick or Alison Brie – go figure). However, the superhero genre has been lost on Zooey Deschanel thus far, despite her New Girl co-star Jake Johnson going on to play Peter B. Parker in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Lamorne Morris appearing in Bloodshot as a British computer hacker.
