Official Wonder Woman Casting Suggestions [merged-13]

[Infamy]

Sounds like WB isn't putting all cylinders on Wonder Woman. This is unfortunate. It could mean that they feel that they will have trouble marketing the film.

Well they better figure out a way pretty sharpish because if not 2007, I cant see it being 2008 either, not with a Begins sequel potentially pencilled in. I cant see them releasing this film anywhere other than summer. So this will be interesting, 2007 would be the ideal sandwhiched between Superman Returns and a potential Begins sequal..you look passed 2008 and your potentially looking at a Superman Returns sequal..so 2009 and then anybody?

Thats all out loud thinking by the way no facts to back it up just speculation, but it dosent make for good reading.

Oh and one other thing, will people stop f*****g proposing models as viable options for a 100 million + superhero film, please!

That includes Taylor "ive only ever acted in summerland" Cole.

Can she act? seriously CAN she emote? CAN she do for wonder woman what Christian Bale did for Batman? CAN she? what?

Viable choices people! people who not only look the part but can freaking act, its like casting that Michael Ohearn guy as superman, yeah sure he looked the part but he cant freakin act.

[Karea07]

Taylor Cole is a bad choice for Wonder Woman.

It's been this way for a long time, Infamy. We're not talent scouts or casting directors. Most of these guys just read men's magazines and watch TV.

People seem to be overlooking what Joss clearly stated when this news first broke... he is looking for a relatively unknown actress to portray Wonder Woman. So you can count out Catherine Zeta, who would want too much money anyway. Carrie Ann Moss would have Wonder Woman compared to Trinity. Charisma and SMG? No way! And Angelina.... Lara is good enough for her. Why do you all want actresses that are known for other strong femal characters?

Morena Baccarin is perfect! I do not think that Joss wants her to look exactly like the comic character. And besides, Wonder Woman has had MANY looks over the years.... from the early comics to the Alex Ross rendering even to the JL cartoon. So I think she would be perfect casting! And she is an outstanding actress! And beautiful!

Well said, Psionic Force.

I agree. Morena is perfect for this.

I also agree, Morena Baccarin would make a killer choice for Wonder Woman. She's the right age (young), she's relatively unknown, beautiful, good height, and she has worked with the director and knowns what he wants. It would be a great partnership that would make a great movie.

[Red Mask]

She needs to wear blue contacts.

[dpm07]

I could see Morena Baccarin as Wonder Woman. The Blue contacts thing wouldn't be a problem. Many actors wear contacts these days for various films.

[Nightwing]

^^^Nice.

[Fused]

Man I wouldnt kill anybody over it but if Morena was casted I'd be... ok with it. . . but perfect??? Far cry from perfect. . . . ...........

[dpm07]

There's never going to be a perfect Wonder Woman because people have so many interpretations based on their own subjective views of what Wonder Woman should look like.

For myself, my first candidate that falls in the age group that Whedon is looking for, is Morena Baccarin.

I also like the way she looks and based on various interviews, I think she'd do the role justice.

[The Shredder]

Very true.

Not everyone will agree, and thats fine. Because honestly, skepticism is healthy when casting a movie like Wonder Woman. Or any movie for that matter. Personally, I want someone cast as WW who isnt just another pretty face, or a great piece of eye candy. There has to be more depth there than just the superficial level. And for me, Morena Baccarin is a great example of not only being a beautiful woman, but also a fine actress as well. And one in which I believe could make WW into something truly memorable. Unfortunately, I cant say the same with many of the other twenty-somethings mentioned previously.

[Philly Phanboy]

I'll have to fall back on a comment made a few pages ago, that Morena really doesn't suit the WW role and if Morena does get a part in a comic adaptation, she is a far better choice for Zatanna.

[phoenixflight]

Even more amazing shots of Monica Barladeanu:

[Garland Greene]

First I have never really got into WW comics so I ay be way off but isn't wonder woman supposed to be taller and Physical build? I am not sure what actress that would qualify Terry Farrell? I belive she is 6 feet.

[Red Mask]

The actress can build up at the gym. And mid-heel boots will help create the illusion of 6 feet.

yes perfect, but is considered "too old" for hollywood standards-- she's over 30. (i know its BS, but then we're talking about hollywood here).

Sorry.

Are you joking? I met her, she's shorter than me and I'm troll-sized.

Scarlett would be agreat Supergirl and she's only 5'4 I believe

[Wolverine84]

I'm new and havent read all the suggestions...but what about jessica beil?

[Wolverine84]

the only person from the list that has the right build for wonder woman is angelina jolie, and i just couldnt see her as the part

[Psionic Force]

And she is a well known actress....AGAIN.... Joss is looking for a relatively UNKNOWN actress!

[Pirateking]

I voted other.

<----See avatar for my suggestion.

[Psionic Force]

people clearly do not understand what Joss is looking for ... or just choose to ignore it. I think that when we suggest someone, we should take into consideration what exactly is being looked for. All that will happen when you people keep posting well known actresses that have already played a strong comic book or scifi type character is that when an actress is chosen, you will just get upset for a reason that could have been avoided....

[dpm07]

Scarlett would be agreat Supergirl and she's only 5'4 I believe

I'd like to see her play that, too. I think she'd rock in that role. :up:

[phoenixflight]

And what about Denise Quinones.

Born on September 9, 1980 in Ponce, Puerto Rico, Denise won the Miss Universe pageant in 2001. She will be starring on Smallville on Thursday, February 2, 2006 in an episode entitled “Vengeance”, check it out. She stand’s 5’10” tall.

Actress - filmography
"The Bedford Diaries" (2006) TV Series (post-production (http://pro.imdb.com/r/legacy-inprod-name/inproduction/)) .... Mia Thorne
"Smallville" - Vengeance (2006) TV Episode .... Andrea Rojas/Vigilante
"Freddie" - Mixer (2005) TV Episode .... Denise
Bad Boys II (2003) (uncredited) ....Street walker in Cuba


She is an unknown and has shown Warner Bros that she is capable of acting. What do you guys think?? And before you nay sayers shoot her down, watch her on "Smallville" and lets see how she does.

[Reece]

The movie is called Wonder WOMAN not Wonder GIRL

Just Christopher Reeve was SuperMAN while Brandon Routh seems more like SuperBOY .....gone for seven years ..(yeah right)

Laura Elena Harring, thats my first choice. She not only has the classic wonder woman look ( splitting image of Linda Carter ) but can act as well.

Mulholland Dr, The Punisher

http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/660/deniseqww4wf.jpg

Not too bad.

I could kinda see it.

[Reece]

So what if she's 40, male actors remain leads well into there 40's and 50's take Mel Gibson or Cloony. Female actors only seem to have work till they 30 these days.

and besides can you imagine how great Angela Basset would have rocked as Storm and shes already into her 50's

Hate to repeat this, but this movie is supposed to start a franchise, so they won't cast a girl older than 25, someone who in ten years will still look like an immortal and forever young Diana.

[Reece]

I understand your point and agree fully it's just I am tried of hearing suggestions of teenyboppers for the part.

If she has to be 25 years old fine, but at least get someone who looks old enough too shave there legs. LOL

Dude. Get a grip. I dont have Joss on speed dial or anything. Just a fleeting thought. Think for yourself. I think for me. . .

Exactly!!

Well said.

Laura Harring is beautiful and is a good actress. However, at 40 it really isn't feasible for her to play Wonder Woman.

And to the Reese's Pieces who said he wanted a Wonder Woman versus girl, a woman is pretty much going to be someone in their early 20's+.

[phoenixflight]

Here are a couple more shots of Denise Quinones. She's 5' 10", 25 years old and on Smallville next week!!

Obviously! Because men age better than women. Men look distinguished as they get older.

Women tend to hag up and loose their 'cuteness' beyond 30ish which explains all the plastic surgery in Hollywood.

I guess it all evens out in the end. Women look better young but Men have longetivity.

And Laura Elena Harring does NOT look like Lynda Carter. She looks more like what Lynda looks like now in her current age.

[Fused]

Only if we grow beards, so as to hide the sagging skin under our chins and the wrinkles. Or distract people from a fat belly.

[Kane]

Im talking about good looking men in comparison to good looking women.

[Red Mask]

After a certain age, old is old. It doesn't matter how beautiful we start, we all will suffer from decrepitude. Pray you die young, prisoners of vanity!

[Philly Phanboy]

Maitland Ward (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005533/). She's 6'0 (1.83 m) and just turned 29. Maitland's probably best known for her stint on Boy Meets World and to her credit, physically, she's an unusually tall actress that doesn't look like a walking coat rack. :)

Maitland's a natural redhead but now is wearing her hair blonde so you'll have to use your imagination a bit as to what she'd look like with darker hair. She also must have had a nose job too because she sure doesn't look like her older pics.

Evangeline Lilly on being Wonder Woman

Will we get to see you as Wonder Woman? I've never even spoken to anyone on the project. People have asked if I had one role I wanted to play, and I threw out Wonder Woman because she was my favorite superhero growing up.

You probably had the Underoos, right? I still have the little shorty shorts.

And you still dress up and pose in front of the mirror? Yeah, with my lasso. No, I'd love to play Wonder Woman beÂ*cause it's a kick-ass role. But the dilemma is whether I want to be part of something that big and commercial.

[JBElliott]

Another idea: Monica Dean. She was on a recent episode of Lost. See this web site for information: http://www.monicadean.info/page.php?id=0

[Donnie Darko]

And Laura Elena Harring does NOT look like Lynda Carter. She looks more like what Lynda looks like now in her current age.

She's not my choice at all, but eliminating someone because they don't look like Lynda Carter is pretty much the dumbest thing imaginable. We want a Wonder Woman movie, not a Carter biopic. It's like when people *****ed about Superman candidates not looking like Christopher Reeve. We're casting a character, not a celebrity lookalike.

Also, the majority of the people they will be aiming this movie at will not have any kind of attachment to the WW tv show, so bringing Carter into this is kind of a useless point. I mean over the last couple years I've become a big WW fan through the comics, but I have never had the desire to sit through an entire episode of the old show. In my opinion, not casting someone because they look like Carter is like not casting Christian Bale as Batman because he doesn't look like Adam West.

Great find!! Love the Monica Dean site. There are some amazing photos of her there that capture the essence and look of Wonder Woman. Although Morena Baccarin is my first choice, Monica is a very close second. And at 5'7", she is not that short and can look a lot taller with the right supporting cast and camera angles.

Nice.

She's the one I want to see for Wonder Woman, even though theres a new rumor posted that Morena Baccarin was revealed to be Whedon's favorite choice. With Joel Silver wanting Jessica Alba or Kim Basinger.

Which are both a no to me......

[JekzStar]

Joel Silver is a dick, i want an unknown person i want to really think hay that's wonder woman not an actress playing wonder woman.

And that girl from SERENITY is perfect

[dpm07]

Morena Baccarin of Serenity would really be the ideal candidate, IMO. She's definitely got a look which would do Wonder Woman proud, and is of relatively unknown status. She's pretty talented as well.

[Mr Sensitive]

The best recent suggestion is Taylor Cole.

Baccarin is, as I said before, too girly.

[Psionic Force]

And another great thing about Morena... she already has her foot in the DC Universe's door.... she is the voice of Black Canary in the Justice League Unlimited cartoon ....

[Mr Sensitive]

I will even rephrase what I said before: Taylor Cole is perfect for the role.

She has the right age everyone is hammering about; she has talent; she has the right body and she has more than just a resemblance with WW: she has the exact looks.

I think that if Whedon is smart enough, he won't let pass this chance to make a perfect casting.

While I have made no secrets of my interest in Morena Baccarin for the role, I wouldn't be upset if Taylor Cole got it. She has expressed interest, and I think she'd do it justice.

My feeling for Morena is based on a multitude of factors with looks only being one aspect. I think she's a good actress, who could really make this role work well for her. I also think she's fortunate to have worked with Whedon, and is familiar with his style. Whedon likes her as an actress, and also she has a familiarity with the DC Universe having done the voice of Black Canary (quite well, too), and I think she would definitely bring the same stately elegance that she brought to Inara.

[phoenixflight]

Very hot indeed!!! "Wolf Lake", "Sky High", "Final Destination 3"

http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/3040/mewforww9gc.jpg

[Psionic Force]

um... no! I think she is way to young for the version that Joss wants to create.... need someone that can come across as a strong woman that has learned from experience, all the hardships in life. Someone that was born in 1984 cannot portray that.

Where did that Wonder Woman symbil come from? I like it alot! Anyone have it?

For someone that keeps an eye on the ridiculousness of this thread, you seemed to have miss the major thing that Joss has made clear, which I have mentioned a couple of times. The actress he would like to portray Wonder Woman is someone that is relatively unknown. So, for her to have '7 BIT parts' in things is something that could work in her favor. She is not that well known. Not quite sure why people keep overlooking the 'relatively unknown' statement.

So if she was someone they were interested in for the part, she definitely would stand a better chance rather than some of the other well known actresses suggested here.

I do agree that she is beautiful and looks like she would fit the part perfectly, but I think that she resembles Lynda Carter a bit to much. And it would almost be like they are trying to recapture what Lynda brought to the part. I think that aspect works together. If they were going to match the look over the television character, then yea, she would be perfect. But I think they are going for a completely different look with this adaptation.

So I must defend the person that suggested her, against your remark. I just assume that you want some well known actress that everyone knows because she already played a strong leading female character, or even a strong female scifi or comic book character.....

[BT18]

Lynda Carters pre Wonder Woman resume consisted of TWO bit parts.

Actually I want someone that can act.

I will give you an example, Christian Bale in Batman Begins he could of been considered unknown by your definition, he wasn't hollywood by any means.

Evangeline Lilly has only acted in 7 mostly BIT parts appart from Lost, would you consider her unknown? I will tell you the difference between the girl above and Evangeline Lilly, we know Lilly can at least act.

And Evey isnt necesarily my pic either before you throw that card at this present time I dont see a definite but there are a few possibles.

Taylor Cole however remains my current #1 Choice for the part
http://www.taylor-cole.com/m7.jpg
http://www.taylor-cole.com/p23.jpg

[The Question]

Guys, here me out: Whedon has said that while the movie is a sort of coming of age story, the actress doesn't necesairily have to be young. In the movie, Wonder WOman will be "coming of age" since she's being thrust into the world after leading a very sheltered life. Whedon said that catsing someone in their 30s isn't an impossibility. So, I think the most logical choice for Wonder Woman is.....


Jennifer Connely.


I mean, she is Wonder Woman incarnate. Sher looks perfect for the part, and is an oscar award winning actress. She may be in her 30s, but Whedon has sais that age isn't as big a factor, and Connely has the looks of a woman much younger than she is.

[Mr Sensitive]

Connelly would be a dream.

Let's see what happens.

[dpm07]

Mary Elizabeth Winstead is 21. She could do it. My personal favorite choice is Morena Baccarin with Taylor Cole right behind her. There are a few others I am personally reserving my postings on, but I'd take the three above listed and a couple more I have my eyes on.

Jennifer Connelly would have been a good choice 10 years ago, but she's starting to show her age. I loved her in Labyrinth many years ago, and she was very good in A Beautiful Mind. She is a great actress. No argument there.

That said, she's old enough to be Hippolyta.

I really can't see Whedon using her. Nope. I'm sorry. I can't see it happening.

If they are going to go with a Wonder Woman in her 30's, I'd rather see Angelina Jolie get it or Kate Beckinsale. They are younger than Jennifer Connelly.

[The Question]

She's not old enough to be Hypolita. Well, since Hypolita is ageless, then they could get an actress the same age as the WW actress. But anyway, she doesn't look that old. She has the looks of women younger than she is, and she'd be under make up anyway, so it's not like any age telling signs will be visible on screan.

[GL's Light]

Hey all. I'm not sure if this suggestion has been made yet (this thread is rather massive at this point!), but how about Jessica Pare? I think she'd be a good pick - she's tall enough to fill out WW's boots (5' 9") and she's young enough (23) to anchor a franchise through potential sequels. She has talent and would fill the costume out in all the right places. ;)

I don't have enough posts yet to have picture upload priveleges, but here's a link to a good shot of her:

Great find!! Love the Monica Dean site. There are some amazing photos of her there that capture the essence and look of Wonder Woman. Although Morena Baccarin is my first choice, Monica is a very close second. And at 5'7", she is not that short and can look a lot taller with the right supporting cast and camera angles.

http://img312.imageshack.us/img312/8008/monicadeanforww5qf.jpg you right about this good choice but she need more muscle not to much but just a little bit and a little bigger boob

[terry78]

Since no human woman can apparantly pull off the Wonder Woman the fans want, just make her a CGI creation. :p

[StorminNorman]

Connelly is married to Bettany - having WW and the Joker as husband and wife would make for an intresting story - thus Connelly is my pick.

Wow, how flawed is that logic? lol.

[BT18]

Guys, here me out: Whedon has said that while the movie is a sort of coming of age story, the actress doesn't necesairily have to be young. In the movie, Wonder WOman will be "coming of age" since she's being thrust into the world after leading a very sheltered life. Whedon said that catsing someone in their 30s isn't an impossibility. So, I think the most logical choice for Wonder Woman is.....


Jennifer Connely.


I mean, she is Wonder Woman incarnate. Sher looks perfect for the part, and is an oscar award winning actress. She may be in her 30s, but Whedon has sais that age isn't as big a factor, and Connely has the looks of a woman much younger than she is.

actually he didn't say "someone in their 30's isn't an impossibility". The age range he outlined was "15 to 30".

[Mr Sensitive]

Taylor Cole however remains my current #1 Choice for the part

She'd be a wonderful choice.

This last picture of her is so WW.

[The Question]

actually he didn't say "someone in their 30's isn't an impossibility". The age range he outlined was "15 to 30".


He also said that age wasn't that big a factor. And Connely certainly has the looks of a woman a few years younger than she is.

[Nightwing]

Just wondering, which actress do you guys see in this picture as WW?

http://www.newsarama.com/dcnew/WonderWoman/WWCv1.jpg

It's a new drawing from the new artist who'll be drawing her in a new monthly, Terry Dodson.

I'm just seeing a red X, Batman. BTW, Dodson's first WW issue is coming out in June I think. I did a search for his pics and found two very different WW models. :confused:

One I got from over at the Planet forum:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/Target-33/Temp/WonderWomanWizard172.jpg

^^ You can't really see much of her face, but her prominent cheek bones and beady eyes kind of look like SI model Veronica Varekova.

and one sketch from ComicArtFans:

^^ Definitely Lucy Lawless....

Ayeyiiieieeiye

:(

[Psionic Force]

Yea... Lucy Lawless was the first person I thought of too when I heard they were going to be doing a movie. But she is too well known for Xena.

I like the pics you posted Philly. Any idea where I can get cool WW wallpapers?

[phoenixflight]

I am once again entering Ms. O'Keefe's name into the mix. Discuss.

http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/5764/jodiforww4ht.jpg

[GL's Light]

Jodi Lyn O'Keefe is mucho sexy. She certainly has the height and athleticism to play WW. Is her screen persona right for the role? Dunno. Even when she's playing good girls she comes across like a bad girl. She can't help it. The poor girl just has too much raw sex appeal - she can't contain it. ;)

If you want a WW who's all innocent and noble, then she ain't your gal. If you want a WW with more of an attitude, then Jodi Lyn would be a fine pick.

So...it sounds like she's too old. She's also not the right build. She's pretty, but better suited for television.

[Red Mask]

Lots of the other suggestions don't have the right build either. The studios will have them pump up for it.

[Nightwing]

Age isn't an issue for Whedon....

[JekzStar]

To me i for one can't help to think that the role should go to Morena Baccarin she is almost too perfect for the role.

Sure she doesn't have the same size rack as Wonder Woman has in comics but a push up bra will help that along.

It's the eyes man when she stares at you it's like everything is different.

http://www.morena-baccarin.com/pictures/modeling/modeling3.jpg

But the one person that seems to be growing up and isn't a bad option is
Mary Elizabeth Winstead

http://www.epochtimes.com/i6/5072503411470.jpg

1st choice Morena Baccarin
2nd choice Mary Elizabeth Winstead

3rd Unknown
4th Unknown

No way should be Wonderwoman Cameron Diaz or any other big time actress or medium size actress.

[Mr Sensitive]

Winstead is far from bad.

Baccarin is too sweet, and doesn't have the proper build to play the part.

I think Taylor Cole would a very, very good choice. And, if there is no age crap, Jennifer Connelly.

[The Question]

Baccarin is too sweet, and doesn't have the proper build to play the part.

That's what the gym is for.

And, if there is no age crap, Jennifer Connelly.


That would be perfect.

[Mr Sensitive]

That's what the gym is for.

The gym cannot take her sweet face (thank God!), and cannot make her shoulders sufficiently wider.

But we do agree on Connelly.

I think there's a decent chance WB will greenlight either WW or Flash for release in 2007.

[Antonello Blueberry]

I think there's a decent chance WB will greenlight either WW or Flash for release in 2007.
WB already has a blockbuster for summer 2007, the new Harry Potter.
But they had both Batman and the Chocolate Factory in summer 2005, and Superman, "The Ant Bully", and "Lady in the water" slated for summer 2006.

[The Question]

The gym cannot take her sweet face (thank God!), and cannot make her shoulders sufficiently wider.

I really don't see a problem with her face. And besides, a gooc actress can make you not notice that kind of thing. She doesn't look or act particularly sweet or girly on Firefly. As for the shoulders....meh. I never really noticed how wide Wonder WOman's shoulders are.

But we do agree on Connelly.


**** yes. She's what I call a could have been actress. As in, if her life had gone differently in another universe, she would have become Wonder Woman.

[Red Mask]

They don't have to make the shoulders wider. They just have to look strong enough. Slim down the waist, work the V-Shape and voila! Worked for Jessica Biel.

That doesn't mean WW can't be in the summer. But you're right. At the rate this movie is going maybe it'll be fall of 2007 or summer 2008. I prefer the fall season myself.

She looks sweet all the time.
Playing tough is not as good as having a spot-on casting.

I seriously don't see how she looks weet all the time. She certainly doesn't when she's acting.

[dpm07]

I seriously don't see how she looks weet all the time. She certainly doesn't when she's acting.

She doesn't. Morena will do a really great job if she gets the role. There's no perfect casting for the role, but if Whedon feels she is the right candidate, I will accept this, and not just because she is my first choice. I have every bit of confidence in Morena Baccarin to deliver the acting skills and even physical complement needed to make the role work.

Once the role is cast, the actors will get on a physical regimen to help them. Morena is young. She's in her 20's.

Most people who doubt Morena Baccarin, really don't understand that she'll make a great Wonder Woman if given the opportunity. I feel sorry for them.

A French model that probably does not even speak English, or if she does, has such a thick French accent that you need subtitles. No thank you! And Sofia would make WW look to ****ty

[feitan132000]

Hi There

I have many suggestions, so would u please take a look at each of them?
Brooke Langton, Cinthia Moura, Rosella Brescia, Amy Acker, Leonor Varela, Evelina Papantoniou, Isha Koppikar, Jordana Brewster, Maria Grazia Cucinotta, Paz Vega, Sarah Spraker, Zoe Maclellan (I kid ye not!), Zuza Buchwald...
By the way, you are absolutely right, psionic force, i have been so stupid, i should have remembered that there are not language tutors or linguists in the whole american country, how silly of me...

[Red Mask]

I'd pick Jordana Brewster for the Stan Lee version. She can play the woman who then transforms into WW.

[phoenixflight]

I don't know anything about Nadine Velazquez, however I wanted to throw her name in the mix. She is currently in "My Name is Earl" (I've never seen the show). Can she act? Is she any good? She will also be starring in a new film entitled Rogue (coming out next year). I'm not sure how old she is or her height, but...Comments please.

http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/5783/nadinevalazquezforww6my.jpg

[Ravin' Ray]

Would Rachel Weisz be tall enough at 5'7"? At least in The Mummy Returns she kicked a$$, stunt-double or not.

[Antonello Blueberry]

Nadine Velasquez is funny in her little role in "My name is Earl", a show that everyone should see.
But she's no Wonder Woman material, she's probably 5ft5.

[dpm07]

She's pretty old. She's like 35. That's only 5 years short of 40 which is old enough to be someone's grandma. Not the image I want to associate with Wonder Woman.

She's a good actress, but her time for being Wonder Woman has come and gone. I think she's probably going to start sticking to the mom roles.

Well, if she had a bayby at 16, and her daughter just gave birth to a child, then year, she could be a grandma. But really, that statement was pretty weird.

Saying Weisz is "pretty old" is both stupidity, absurd and a bit sick.

In fact, it is so absurd that I can't find a word bad enough to describe it.

When this franchise is revamped after Whedon, I hope the audience will be more mature with their perceptions.

I guess being over sensitive *is* your arena Mr. Sensitive. But 35+ is a fine age for your sister or aunt or whomever but it *can* be "pretty old" for Wonder Woman. Which is more than relavent in this instance. . .

one cannot be over-sensitive with that kind of downright ignorance.

If she's got the looks and the skills, why would she be too old for Wonder Woman? I mean, Wonder Woman is supposed to have an aura of maturity and elagance about her.

[phoenixflight]

As the newest Bond Girl, Eva Green is now getting a considerable amount of press. However, when she was just the girl from "Kingdom of Heaven" I (and some other people) voted her as a possible Wonder Woman. Don't worry, she is waaaayyyy to short for our Amazon Princess, however she has a great face.

She wasn't just the girl from "Kingdom of Heaven". She was in Bertolucci's "The Dreamers", too (and that is far more important film wise).

And she's such a good actress, she has such a unique and strong personality and is so beautiful you'd never notice she's not tall.

You're absolutely right, I should have made "The Dreamers" reference. I picked the last known film she did thinking people may remember that first.

Let's keep hoping, I would love to see her as Wonder Woman.

I don't really like Eva Green. I'm still dreaming with Catherine Zeta-Jones. It will never happen but I'd still love to see it.

As much as some people said her Playboy spread would discredit Charisma Carpenter for Wonder Woman, I find it funny that now we're talking Eva Green. She left nothing to the imagination in The Dreamers.

There is an abyssal difference between Carpenter and Green.

Nudity was never a problem. Only if one is a prude.

Besides, Lynda Carter is half latino herself, so it wouldn't be like a far cry for a hispanic actress to take it.

[Kane]

One that can speak english would be preferable.

[Super_Ludacris]

You know they can learn to speak it. And the american accent or whatever accent they want Diana to speak is pretty easy.

[Kane]

I think the accent would still be noticeable if the actress primarily speaks spanish.

[Super_Ludacris]

I'm sure they can do the american accent or whatever it's easy it's fine no big deal

[batdude]

Eva Green just doesn't do it for me. Charisma Carpenter would have been perfect back when she was on Buffy. might be a little old for a sequel though. Morena Baccharin could be good. I'm pretty sure she can do an greek/exotic accent.

And in that manip, why did they have to make Wonder Woman look like a ****? Both Batman and Superman have strong stances, and Wonder Woman looks like she is posing for Playboy.... They should have chosen a woman that looks strong and that can handle her own. Not like some two bit hussy!

[terry78]

^I think that's one of the dividers amongst fans. Some simply want her to be this pin-up, others want her to be attractive, but also strong, like she's oblivous of her goddess like beauty. The costume debate itself stems from that. Can we really take her seriously wearing panties, even if she could lift a car over her head.

[Psionic Force]

Well, I do not think that they should change the costume at all, that is something I believe they need to stay true to.

I think that whoever they cast should be attractive, since she is an Amazon princess and all. If they post someone that looks like they should be in Playboy, no one will take this movie seriously.

Superman runs around in a blue leotard, red underpants and a cape ...but people still take him seriously. This is a comic book character, so people going into the movie should really take that into consideration. I do not see why the costume would be an issue at all. Most of the people who would go see the movie are already familiar with what she wears. But I have a feeling that they will tamper with the way it looks and try to tone it down some. Which I think would be a really stupid move. When you start messing with the true nature of the character and characteristics they are known for ... you are setting yourself up for failure.

I just really want to see this movie do well. I want people to take this seriously. I DO NOT WANT THIS TO BE ANOTHER CATWOMAN!!!!

Charisma works for me. :up:

I wouldn't have a problem if she got the role, or for that matter Angelina Jolie. However, I think they both have the problem of the age factor. Now believe me, I think your choice is a great one, but I think that Whedon will probably go with a less well-known actress.

Someone like Angelina Jolie, or Kate Beckinsale, could easily personify or represent Wonder Woman, IMO. I applaud your choice. I just don't think it will happen.

Someone like Angelina Jolie, or Kate Beckinsale, could easily personify or represent Wonder Woman, IMO. I applaud your choice. I just don't think it will happen.



Jolie has skinny legs and no butt. Diana is rather curvy. Jolie is rather petite as well.

[The Chairman]

Jolie is 5'8. She's tall enough. It's hard to find women who are in the 5'11 and up range.

That being said, I know I'm dreaming, but I'd still love to Zeta-Jones, Bellucci or Connolly in the part.

Zeta Jones was my favorite. But they've waited too long.

[dpm07]

Zeta Jones was my favorite. But they've waited too long.

If they were to decide and go the older route, and I don't think they will, then I think a feasible option would be Angelina Jolie or Kate Beckinsale. Angie's really not that petite. She's actually relatively athletic, and is a good 5'8. She'd be a great choice, as would Kate.

[The Chairman]

Zeta Jones was my favorite. But they've waited too long.

Agreed.

[Thefoolkiller]

Charisma gets my vote. I asked her to try on the red,blue and gold for us. What do you think now?

[Psionic Force]

They would not go with Jolie or Zeta ... both are well known actresses.... and once again ... they are looking for a relatively unknown for the role.

So get them out of your mind! And I do not see Charisma in that role... she would not be believable at all.

[dpm07]

I do not see Charisma in that role... she would not be believable at all.

This is a true statement. I definitely agree.

[terry78]

They need someone that can do sequels. And if you're in your 30's, unfortunately you're going to start looking too old to be the immortally young Diana Prince.

[Masut]

I don't like Connelly either for WW. Unless she waxes her eyebrows

She's in her mid - 20s and she's a decent actress. She has a strong accent though.

boo to the accent

shes not very good looking anyways:

[celldog]

Maybe you are right about Farrell, but that's a problem of those who give him these roles.

My problem is that I believe Wonder Woman should be depicted as an elegant woman.



Russell Crow??? Sean Penn??? Both of these guys have assaulted people....and cuss like it's going out of style.

It's called acting......for 2 hours these folks make us believe they are "other" people. Charisma is not gonna be playing her "vulgar" self.

[phoenixflight]

I know she has been mentioned, however here is a photo manip of Catherine Bell done by Andriod. She's 5'10" and born in 1968 (8.14). She looks pretty good.

celldog, I know it will be difficult for you to believe it, but vulgar people doesn't know how to play elegant ones.

And assaulting is not vulgar. It's harsh, but not vulgar. See: everything in the world has its proper name.

[Psionic Force]

oh look ... its another manip/image of Wonder Woman depicted as ONLY being sexual and fragile.... that is NOT what the character should be.

I dont like the idea of Catherine Bell either.

[GL's Light]

I don't think Charisma Carpenter is vulgar at all. Her screen persona is that of a very modern woman with a sassy personality and a good snarky sense of humor. That's not a screen persona suited for the portrayal of WW that Joss Whedon intends. Now, if a WW TV series was being made with an updated version of a Lynda Carter-esque All-American WW then Charisma would fit the bill very nicely.

[Red Mask]

I know she has been mentioned, however here is a photo manip of Catherine Bell done by Andriod. She's 5'10" and born in 1968 (8.14). She looks pretty good.

She looks like the perfect actress for the next Poison Ivy!

[The Question]

Yeah, and I'd like to be the king of all Londinium and wear a shiny hat. Doesn't mean it's gonna happen.

[BT18]

She's already exploiting the legacies of actual real world heroes RFK and John Lennon by crapping up BOTH the upcoming movies involving their assassinations with her awful presence.

Now she wants to move onto fictional icons I guess.

[Red Mask]

I'd rather see her play Batgirl before she even dons the tiara! Keep her away!

[Psionic Force]

If Lindsay Lohan gets cast in the part, I will NEVER talk about this movie again!

[Slipping_Halo]

Ditto.

Although it will become a movie masturbated to furiously by almost everyone here.

Someone find Joss Whedon and suggest Jennifer Connelly, dammit!

[echostation]

my personal pick which no one has suggested at all cuz she's got everything for her I think is Danneel Harris

She's an extremely skilled gymnast... and certainly does NOT look weak and frail like so many of the aforementioned anorexic actresses. She is american so no trouble with English, she's 24, a relative unknown and yes SHE CAN ACT... she's got a terrifically physically tough body as well as i'll show in some photos... this gal has some meat on her bones unlike jen connelly and half the others mentioned... she could kick some royal ass in the role:

Good choice Echostation but Ive seen a few better and much prettier.

[echostation]

this is granted but the problem is everyone on that poll except for Carrie Ann Moss and Tsinina Joelson are all weak, fragile and do not embody the necessary power that Wonder Woman needs to possess.

[Kane]

lol Carrie Ann Moss seems pretty weak and fragile to me, Trinity just has good stuntwork.

Honestly though, Whedon is likely casting a total unknown so hopefully this girl looks alot like Lynda Carter back in the day. Thatd be the perfect look.

[echostation]

cool, do you yourself have any suggestions that coulod fit that lynda carter type look and is an unknown too... from all the suggestions i've seen, none really match including mine... but i'll still stand by mine :) even though she may not look like her... she's defn got more strengths than many of the choices listed on here.

[Kane]

Taylor Cole looks like a hotter younger version of Lynda easily....but like 99% of all the actresses suggested, she needs to put on some fat and beef up too.

Ya man, shes the perfect age and has the right sex appeal to make a young Diana work for the adult audience and the younger teens (who ultimately put in the most money to see these summer movies)

Heres some pics of her I posted a while back in the thread. The resemblence to Lynda is evident.

You've got to be kidding on both counts! First of all, Taylor Cole looks fat in those pics you posted and secondly she does not resemble or even attempt to look like Lynda Carter outside of her hair and eye color. In addition, your comment about Carrie Ann Moss being skinny doesn't pass the smell test with me (unless you like 'em with baby fat like Talor Cole). The picture that Anto posed shows a woman who is in good shape and has excellent muscle tone. The one thing that Carrie Ann Moss, and for that matter Taylor Cole, have lacking is the upper body strength (if you know what I mean).

[Kane]

Carrie looks skinny but I said all the girls suggested dont really look built anyways. Taylor is far from fat though, theres enough pics of her in a bikini around.

Edit:

http://www.allsexycelebs.com/pics/taylor_cole/T_Cole-Summerland04hd-DL.jpg


That certainly doesnt look fat to me. I'd take her over Carrie Ann Moss ANY day.

[Lobo]

Thanks CS, I was about to post some Taylor :up:

Of all the choices, Taylors definately the hottest.

[phoenixflight]

I don't know if Shannyn Sossamon has been mentioned, however I will place her name in the mix. She reminds me of Angelina jolie for some reason - not as voluptuous, but I really like her. She is 5'8" and born on October 3,1979 in Honolulu, Hawaii.

I wouldn't actually put it past Sossomon, she'd only have to do some training, as she's a tad waifish.

I'm in love with Shannyn ever since Rules of Attraction. Friggin' hot, and I love her style.

Too bad her career is dead :(

Why? However if her acting career doesn't go well, she could go back to being a DJ.
But she's no Wonder Woman.

[Hades]

After reading a good portion of this thread i've come to the
conclusion that you're all unrealisticley picky.
Anyway, from what i've seen in this thread, i'd say
http://fansites.hollywood.com/~jlokeefe/photos/sat/premiere.jpg
she's the best choice right now..or at least based purely on looks she is.

[Roma]

April Fools anyone ??

Based soley on her looks, I like this young woman from the Venus Swimwear model. She may not be able to act, but she would look really good as WW.

That's pretty harsh. I'm sorry, based on her looks, she would be a horrible actress - WOW. That's a pretty good talent you have. Do you use your psionic force powers to predict that?

Besides the exaggeration of his irony, you know he is right.

She is a model, not an actress. And actress (and a good one) is needed.

[tamron]

How many actors and actresses started out as something else before they got their break? We don't know even know her name, let alone what she's capable of.

[Psionic Force]

It is called MY OPINION! But the least you could do is respect it, as I do yours.

I think it would be horrible for them to cast someone who is primarily a model by career. I think that would just bring horrible things to the character. They need someone that is a strong actress and can hold their own as a main character. Sure, some of these models are pretty, but I dont think they would have what is needed for this role in the way of acting.

You are saying that, based on her looks alone, she would be a great choice. And if she sucks on screen, that is ok? You would rather them fill the role based on looks alone, not on acting ability? Thank God you are not casting it for them!

Jessiqa Pace

Just for your information, Mr. Opinionated, her name is Jessiqa Pace. According to the FassionModelDirectory.com (http://www.fashionmodeldirectory.com/models/jessiqa_pace), Jessiqa is a UC Santa Barbara grad with a degree in Film Studies and Art History. She is also 5'9" and 23 years old according to a post I found over at The Planet (http://www.bluetights.net/theplanet/showpost.php?p=563518&postcount=2920).

Although I would tend to agree with you on the point that this film may need a strong actress, we should not rule out this one as a candidate due to the fact that she is a college graduate and does have some of a background in film and has been in front of a (photo) camera before. She deserves a screen test at least, in my opinion, should she desire to try out for the part. You will never know if she does have those qualities unless you screen test her.

[Psionic Force]

her degree is in film studies ... not being in them. It still does not mean that she can act. And the fact that she is a college graduate ... um... still doesnt make her a good actress.

[DCEternal]

I'd have to give my vote to Eliza Dushku.

[dnno1]

her degree is in film studies ... not being in them. It still does not mean that she can act. And the fact that she is a college graduate ... um... still doesn't make her a good actress.

No, it doesn't and no, it isn't, but the fact that she does have a college degree tells me and many others that she has proven that she can learn a lot in a very short time. A bachelor's degree in Film Studies particularly indicates to me that, although she has no true acting experience, she does have the skills to understand what the writer, the director, and the producer wants (that's what Film Studies majors usually become after school) in a motion picture -- and the fact that she is a model means to me that she is not afraid to be in front of a camera.

Although he never went to college, Will Smith was a very bright kid in high school. He turned down an admission to M.I.T. to pursue a career in music and later on films and look how that worked out for him. Given that and the fact that models have been in films before would lead me to think that it would be worth taking a chance and asking someone like her to read a few lines from the script to see if it worth pursuing casting her. You will never know if she can truly act unless you try her out.

[Kane]

The casting process is over.
