Official Wonder Woman Casting Suggestions [merged-13]

[tzarinna]

I voted for Jennifer Connelly

[bengali]

Um lets be serious some acting ability is required for this role. Just casting someone because they look the part regardless of whether or not they can act is just asking for a disaster.
Superman will be great, and I never heard of the guy playing him until I saw the Trailer and pics from SHH. so it is not that far fetched to see an unknown like Kat being roled in this flick. don't knock till you try! not to mention it does take some acting on American Idol to put on a show that everyone is obviously enjoying. Don't you agree?

[bulok]

I just realized nobody's mentioned Angie Harmon from Law and Order. That woman is STUNNING, has a sexy voice and a good actress.

Diana Prince ?

I think Angie Harmon could have been the Huntress! Ooh wah! Who's your daddy?!

[feitan132000]

hi there!

Curiously, when I mentioned angie harmon's name, i was the laughing stock in the whole forum; so, why this attitude now?

[BT18]

Angie Harmon is too old and stupid to play Wonder Woman.

[ToddIsDead]

Shey annoys me on the TV. I wouldn't want to see her as Wondy.

[Chris Wallace]

Neither Silver nor Whedon have been quoted as supporting Lohan for Wonder Woman. I think that it's more a case of Lindsay wanting the part and not the other way around. :)
Well, Wizard has gone a long way toward backing that up.

[Fused]

Angie Harmon is too old and stupid to play Wonder Woman.

LOL. Awesome.

Not sure if this beauty has been mentioned however, what about:

Has Jaime Murray been mentioned before??

http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/5600/jaimemurrayforww2sv.jpg
Found this info over at wikipedia.org

Jaime Murray is a British actress born October 27, 1978 in Essex, England. She is best known for playing Stacie Monroe in Hustle, a BBC One television drama series revolving around the activities of a group of con artists. She is the daughter of TV actor Billy Murray - who is well known for playing Don Beech in The Bill and Johnny Allen in Eastenders.

In the BBC series Hustle, Jaime Murray wore a Wonder Woman costume in one episode. Her co-star, Robert Vaughn, liked it so much that he took a copy of the episode back to Hollywood and showed it to executives. On the strength of this Jaime Murray was invited to audition for the part.

Not sure how I feel about Robert Vaughn's endorsement, but in several images she seems really attractive. Does anyone know how tall she is?

[terry78]

^I think she could actually be a contender. Relatively unknown here in the states(where we all know is where it really matters :o), has some acting experience, and is about 28-29. And does seem to look the part.

[phoenixflight]

Sorry for oversaturating the site with hopefuls, but has Megan Gale been mentioned?

http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/6685/megangaleforww2kc.jpg
She is amazing looking. Here are her stats: not much in terms of acting, but she should get a chance to audition.

Born: August 7, 1976
Place: Perth, Australia
Height: 5' 10¾"
Trivia:
Is of Italian descent.
Is Australia's tourism embassador to the Italian market.
Is a fashion model.

[Red Mask]

You want to pay for her flight to the audition? I doubt the studios and Australia would pay for the trip. Gas prices will only go higher.

[X Patrol]

Megan Gale is beautiful... she could be a fantastic WW.

http://www.icpin.com/titles/harmon.jpg

I've mentined her, but then this thread is 175 pages long and it was a while ago.

She's tall and majestic and regal looking and can act and with six months in the gym would make the perfecto Wonder Woman. Emphasis on the woman part since so many of the actress' mentioned on this board are barely out of their teens. It would be nice to see a real woman play the part.

[JBElliott]

I've seen Jaime Murray in Hustle. She definitely has the body and height (5'7" I read somewhere) ready to suit up as Wonder Woman. She's a pretty good actor. No complaints after watching Hustle episodes. I don't mind her if she's being considered.


Missy Peregrym...if they go with a young Wonder Woman, I could consider her as a candidate as well. She's very fit. she looks like she can kick a guy's ass.

[superion]

Superman will be great, and I never heard of the guy playing him until I saw the Trailer and pics from SHH. so it is not that far fetched to see an unknown like Kat being roled in this flick. don't knock till you try! not to mention it does take some acting on American Idol to put on a show that everyone is obviously enjoying. Don't you agree?

I don't agree American Idol is a singing competition and she is a good singer. It doesn't say anything about her acting ability. As for Brandon Routh from what I have seen of his acting on the trialers I am very unimpressed. The guy seems like a stiff to me with no charisma or personality to speak of.

However it doesn't really matter with Superman because he has $200 Million of special effects to distract from his acting. I don't think WW is going to have a $200 million budget. It'll be lucky to get a $100 million budget and Whedon has already said she won't be flying around chasing after falling planes.

[Red Mask]

Does Wonder Woman usually chase after falling planes?

In some pictures she looks fine:

I guess that we'll have a better idea about Caroline and her acting once Fast and Furious 3 comes out. :)

[superion]

Does Wonder Woman usually chase after falling planes?

No she doesn't though in the comic books she could probably do so since they basically turned her into Superwomen.

Any way my point was that the WW movie is not going to have a bunch of flashy special effects like Superman Returns so they had better get the other parts right like the story, acting etc.

[Black Panther]

Guys, it's really simple. Rachel Bilson is Wonder Woman.

http://hem.passagen.se/megaaxe/q/images/Gman_edit200_RachelBilson3.jpg


She's only 24, which makes her young enough for the film and the correct age rank. Which also means she can come back for sequels. She's beautiful, has the WW look and even wore a Wonder Woman costume before. Bilson expressed interest before (ill find the interview), she can act very well. Trust me on that.

:) :up:

[Superman \S/]

Rachel Bilson as WW would be AWESOME. I can totally see it, nice one Darkness.

[ImperfectIcon]

Even though Wonder Woman was made of clay, like any human being she can eat. These two actresses look like they need a major feed!

If Rachael Bilson = Wonder Woman:confused:

Then Rachel Bilson + Food + Workout = Believable Wonder Woman...:up:

...NOT WWINO!:down

So train up and Eat up!:)

[Boy Zeppo]

Rachel Bilson is way too small... she could play Wonder Woman from a distance... she is too much of a girly little girl aswell...

[Kane]

Bilson is a midget, cmon.

Taylor Cole is truly beautiful. She would fit the Amazon Princess very nicely. Here is a new picture of her from an episode of "Supernatural". So hot!!

Although I still endorse Morena Baccarin, Taylor is quickly approaching #1 statis. Can't wait to see how Morena does on the 10th season of "Stargate" as the villianous Adria.

One reason I watch is for the uber-hot girls they cast in each episode...The show being good is an added bonus...BTW, I wasnt into the ghosty stuff either before this...

What show? I've never heard of her like I said til the JLA casting thread

She used to be in "Summerland" and recently has been in an episode of "Supernatural"

Supernatural is a pretty sweet show. I was actually hoping she might join the cast because the chemistry was that good.

I could see her as Wonder Woman, and if she got the role, I'd be pleased.

She's definitely got the facial features for the part and the height.

If that remark is directed at Monika Schnarre then you're on crack!

I like her as an actress as I've seen some of her stuff. However, she's going to be a bit on the older side as she's well over 30. Not sure of her as Wonder Woman. I'd rather see Morena Baccarin or Taylor Cole.

After seeing the latest photos of Katharine McPhee, I think she would be perfect for WW:

1 ) She has this regal beauty that suits Diana. Her facial beauty is undeniable.
2 ) She's the right age, just turned 22.
3 ) Right height 5'8".
4 ) Right frame-- broad shoulders, doesn't look like she'll snap in half like Morena Baccarin, has the necessary curves/bust.
5 ) Unlike what most think, she has stage and TV acting experience -- trained at Boston Conservatory, before she joined American Idol, she acted in several TV pilots which were unfortunately not picked up by the networks. However the TV directors she worked with were impressed by her acting ability.

With the proper physical training, I think she will fit the role like a glove.

[terry78]

You honestly need someone that has done action, drama and comedy in the past. Because those three elements are going to be incorporated into the character at some point in the film.

[natnut]

Why? Lynda Carter had zero acting experience before she was cast as WW. Look how well she turned out. Katharine at least has the acting background already plus she has the advantage of being a fresh face.

Some more photos I came across. From these full body pics, here are some of my thoughts :

1 ) Katharine McPhee definitely has the figure and physical presence to play WW.
2 ) Rachel Bilson(another WW candidate) is a midget by comparison and is far too small to be believable as an Amazon. Notice that Katharine is actually crouching down to be in the same shot as Rachel.
3 ) Katharine is as broad and tall as many guys. With those linebacker shoulders and fairly muscular arms, she'd be believable doing feats of strength. Pre-production gym work should tone up her body even more.

[ImperfectIcon]

Brandon Routh.

Anything else? Any other example? Hopefully Routh would be found satisfying to the audience when the movie hits the cinemas soon. Atleast that's what I'm hoping. Say, didn't Routh have some bit part in a soap? Don't you think the stakes are higher in making a WW movie, bearing in mind the various failures of superheroine movies in the past? Perhaps since WW is the most prominent superheroine, maybe WB will have better luck that can be expected, who knows.

Kat McPhee was my bet to win AI (too bad she didnt win :(, Taylor deserved it nontheless). she's a fantastic singer, and it looks like she can cut a rug too, but i'm not quite sure how she is as an actress. i knew she had classical training but i thought that was as far as singing was concerened, i didnt know she acted too.

and she's only 5'8? you sure? she seems taller than that. i know she wears heels but theres a time on AI that she went bare foot and she wa still taller than Seacrest and some of the contestants there.

anyway we'll see. if she really has the acting chops to pull off the Amazon Princess then maybe kat McPhee will do for WW what Christopher Reeve did for Superman. :up:

[natnut]

Lynda Carter(original WW) is only 5'9" but looked taller with her long legs, boots and movie magic. I'm sure they can do the same for Katharine.

[GL's Light]

I'm a big fan of Katherine McFee's (I was rooting for her to win). She certainly has the looks to play WW. Who knows if she has the acting ability to pull it off? They should give her a screen test to find out. The only problem with casting her is that it would come off as very, very gimmicky. But that wouldn't matter if she turned out to be great in the role.

I'd really like to see Katherine Heigl play a superhero. She's both gorgeous and talented. She's usually a blonde (and would make a good Supergirl), but she's also had her hair dark, and looks great either way. She's 28, 5' 9" tall, and has curves in all the right places.

[natnut]

Yeah, I'm sure American Idol is a great way to assess your acting skills lol.

For what it's worth, TV guide spoke to the director who worked with Katharine for her failed TV pilot and he spoke glowingly of her acting abilities.

You shouldn't confuse your opinion of her as a stage performer on AI with her actual ability as an actress.

Oops. My bad.

However, I disagree about casting Katharine McPhee being gimmicky. If she looks the part, acts the part, is the right age and height, then Joss Whedon will pick her on merit alone, not because she was on AI. It's not anymore gimmicky than choosing a model/athlete to be Diana.

Joss has stated he wants a fresh face, someone who is not immediately associated as being a Hollywood actress. Katharine McPhee is well known for being a singer, not as an actress, so she fits the bill perfectly.

Heigl on the other hand is an established actress. She has the looks and acting skill to play a supporting role as an Amazon but she shouldn't play Diana.

yes but unfortunately she'll also have the unnecessary baggage of the singer-turned-actress stereotype, versus someone who folks have no preconcieved notions of.

anyway, we'll wait and see. you cant stifle acting talent, specially when you got it in spades. :)

[Philly Phanboy]

I haven't seen her name mentioned at SHH, but April Scott is one of those dark horse "unknowns" that is worth a look.

Since hiring the same manager as Mariah Carey, April's getting quite a bit of media buzz and she's also signed on to a five picture WB contract.

Yes.

She's attractive, but short. Her look doesn't make me think 'Wonder Woman', really. I heard she's gonna be Daisy Duke in the straight-to-video Dukes of Hazzard prequel.

[JESSICA IS WW]

I think Jessica Biel would be a great WW,or maybe Alba but she is already Sue Storm:) :O

[The Flash!]

Nah, Alba is already Invisible Woman. But I agree with Biel as WW, she'd be awesome if given the chance. Even Whedon himself thinks so.

[Steelsheen]

Biel's too plain looking as WW.

[Kane]

Ya Biel sucks. Lacks the look by a longshot.


Okay so about this whole Katharine Mcphee thing. I was one of her biggest supporters, thought she was the best on AI, only date girls who look like her blah blah blah...... BUT

Despite her being cute (even though shes dating a 42 yr old) she ain't Wonder Woman.

WW has beauty but shes also fierce....Kat doesnt have the fierce aspect, she cant look tough. (its not a bad thing though....but it proves shes just not WW).


Taylor Cole on the other hand; has everything perfect 100%.

There is really no other choice. If Whedon makes any Toronto appearances soon I'm gonna scream it to his face......he needs to cast this girl.

Shes the best and she fits in with Brandon Routh and Christian Bale so well.

They make an awesome big 3.

[Kane]

No. Holly Marie Combs doesnt look like Wonder Woman, not even close.

Paula G is pretty but look at her:

http://www.chud.com/graphics4/Garces.jpg

Shes no Wonder Woman.

Sarah Shahi and Anne Hathaway suck ass!



Taylor Cole PWNS all. There really isnt another reasonable choice in these approx 180 pages..

Shes the only one who holds a candlestick to Lynda Carter and succeeds her in beauty; plus she can act too.

[Kane]

I know. The great thing is if Superman doesnt end up with Lois, he could be tapping THAT.

I'd call that a happy ending.

[ImperfectIcon]

Taylor Cole seems to fill the bill I think...she's a athletic type who knows a bit of martial arts as well. Unless they've found someone better, Taylor looks like the best bet.

[natnut]

Ya Biel sucks. Lacks the look by a longshot.


Okay so about this whole Katharine Mcphee thing. I was one of her biggest supporters, thought she was the best on AI, only date girls who look like her blah blah blah...... BUT

Despite her being cute (even though shes dating a 42 yr old) she ain't Wonder Woman.

WW has beauty but shes also fierce....Kat doesnt have the fierce aspect, she cant look tough. (its not a bad thing though....but it proves shes just not WW).


Taylor Cole on the other hand; has everything perfect 100%.

There is really no other choice. If Whedon makes any Toronto appearances soon I'm gonna scream it to his face......he needs to cast this girl.

Shes the best and she fits in with Brandon Routh and Christian Bale so well.

They make an awesome big 3.

The only reason why she hasn't appeared tough is because the process of American Idol required the contestants to be appear all sunny and nice in order to win votes.

See below photos--I think she is fully capable of projecting the steely beauty required of an Amazon Princess

Evangeline Lilly height 5'5" (celebheights.com)

I looked through Taylor Cole's website. I have to agree she has the height and face for the job.But...looking at her swimsuit pics,I'm trying not to be superficial here...she's a little flat chested to be an Amazon.

[bulok]

that's what natural boobs look like mate ;) you're just used to the silicone in print, so its looking a little flat. although Linda Carter was hardly endowed.

besides this is Wonder Woman we're talking about, not Power Girl ;)

Let's not forget this is a Joss Whedon movie. whoever wins has to be able to act. I'm just not sure Katherine Mcphee can do it well enough. though both her and this Taylor Cole have the right look. I guess they Morena Baccarin and Jessica Biel are the most popular choices right now.

Nice work bulok and interesting take on the design

[GL's Light]

Another idea to throw into the mix: Tricia Helfer (Six from Battlestar Galactica). She's 31 years old and 5' 10" tall. She's gorgeous and a great actress (in my opinion). She's usually a blonde, but she's worn her hair long and dark in the past. Here she is with dark hair:

I agree with Kane, Jessica Biel's features look too coarse, she's hot but doesn't project a regal presence.

Morena Baccarin looks too delicate and fragile to be the strongest female on earth.

BTW, in response to Kane who said Katharine McPhee can't look tough, I just added another photo to post #4445( 1 page back ).

The second photo shows that she can do both looks : sweet/beautiful OR pissed-off/beautiful.

Thats a pretty pic but she doesnt look as fierce as Taylor Cole.

Honestly I wouldnt mind McPhee as a 'Damsel in Distress' MJ role in some other superhero film...but I cant see her as an actual Superhero.

Anyways shes pretty much an impossibility I think. I heard shes working on her album this summer/fall. That would conflict with her getting involved in the WW audition process which is supposed to begin during that period.

They could make them look bigger on screen. Push em up, etc..... thats really a non-issue. She definately as some boobage to work with.

Exactly. There obviously aren't going to be any topless scenes in a WW movie, and Hollywood costumers can work magic to make breasts look much bigger than they actually are. Just look at Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich.

How long does it take to do a screen test anyway? I'm sure Katharine could take a few days off recording her album to do her screen test. Remember she lives in Hollywood, where the auditions take place.

But to do a good screen test, shell need to devote alot of time to learning and studying the role....in order to nail it.

Between the Idol touring and her recording, I dont see it happening realistically.

I dont even see Whedon considering her to be honest.

http://www.morena-baccarin.com/pictures/public1/public24.jpg


The looks more like Wonder Girl.

[dpm07]

I believe that more than likely the front runners at the moment are Morena Baccarin, Taylor Cole, and quite possibly Jessica Biel.

Why?

All three fall within the age requirement, and bring certain attributes. All three can act. One is quite familiar with Whedon's style. Three have a history of working with the WB on decent terms. In the end, all we can do is speculate, but Whedon will likely choose his Wonder Woman based on which candidate matches up closely with the script.

If any of these three received the role, I would not be disappointed, as I feel they would all bring a sense of dignity, elegance, and grace to the role that exemplifies and personifies what Wonder Woman is all about. It would behoove us to be cognizant of this as we contemplate who the next Wonder Woman will be.

[Steelsheen]

where'd you hear that dude? because Whedon hasnt even submitted a script to the studios for approval. he still stuck on the 2nd (or 3rd of 4th, hell who's counting) draft which has yet to be given approval from the producers (Silver) before the studios see one page from the script.

its a loooong way off dude. we'd be lucky if they would even begin casting by next year.

I agree, and I like all 3 but I think of those Biel is the most likely candidate due to her name recognition

[zeptron]

My top 10 choices for WW in no particular order

1. Kristanna Loken
2. Charlize Theron
3. Taylor Cole
4. Mandy Moore
5. Jodi Lyn O'Keefe
6. Elizabeth Berkley
7. Stacy Keibler
8. Shannon Elizabeth
9. Jessica Biel
10. Unknown

OMG!
Tricia Helfer would be perfect.
She already kicks ass in Battlestar Galactica.

Thats what I initially thought. I was believing this project would never happen...

But ya, it was said somewhere they wana start the casting process this summer/fall hopefully, I guess theyre asssuming all the approvals would be in place by then.

[Kane]

I agree, and I like all 3 but I think of those Biel is the most likely candidate due to her name recognition

I doubt that.

Whedon said recently hes more anxious casting a lesser known or unknown than a name actress.

Biel just sucks. She doesnt have the beauty and the look to be Wonder Woman.

[Kane]

OMG!
Tricia Helfer would be perfect.

Shes decent for a grown up Wonder Woman around Infinite Crisis but she doesnt have the innocence for an origin story 'coming of age' Diana that Whedon wants to tell in his story.....thats why hes looking for a younger actress.

[Lobo]

I doubt that.

Whedon said recently hes more anxious casting a lesser known or unknown than a name actress.

She has the beauty in Spades IMO there's a reason she's constantly voted among the hotetst female celebrities, and as for everything Joss has said I hope he leaves the project and this is coming forma HUGE Whedon fan but he said New Costume New origin, New Villain so the movie he's making as of right now upsets me agreat deal as a Wonder Woman fan and someone whose read the comics for years

[Kane]

The looks more like Wonder Girl.

Ya Morena Baccarin reminds me more of Zatanna actually

[Kane]

She has the beauty in Spades IMO there's a reason she's constantly voted among the hotetst female celebrities

So is Ashlee Simpson....that doesnt make her Wonder Woman.


Biel just doesnt have the WW look. She could have the body, but her face doesnt remotely have the Lynda Carter-esque innocence. She'd never be able to pull that off.

When I think of Lynda, Wonder Woman and the animated version of her (which actually also resembles Lynda).... Biel doesnt come close to resemblence at all;

http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/171/jessicabiel0035zt.jpg


Wonder Woman, just like Superman needs to look like our vague memories of the character. Biel isnt that.

Joss seems to want to make her ass kicking warrior woman with the name Wonder Woman slapped on the title. Diana is one of my favorite characters and I want her movie done justice, and I was the first to bring Taylor Cole to peoples attention ;). I'm pissed at Joss at the moment so forgive me if I'm coming off a bit harsh

I don't think we know enough about Joss's take on the character to make a judgment at this point. We've only gotten tiny bits of info from him. We'll have to wait and see what he comes up with.

[Lobo]

I'm trying to be patient but read this interview with him it's very recent http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/wizard/000495675.cfm he seems to me at least have no respect for the characters history nor does he care to learn it he just wants to make his own thing with the WW name on it, I love Joss but I dont want WWINO

copy/paste version

Quote:
BENDIS: Everyone in comics imagines that your life now, when you’re not writing Astonishing X-Men, is a day spent sitting in your office as every actress in Hollywood, dressed as Wonder Woman, comes into your office and does a little dance for you or something.

WHEDON: Yes, that’s exactly what’s happening. Then I wake up.

BENDIS: [Laughs]

WHEDON: I am having enormous trouble with the [“Wonder Woman” movie] script. It’s going very well and I’m loving life, but because it’s only at script stage and there will be no discussion of casting before, I don’t really deal with that. No, it’s weird, I’m in my office and it’s just me.

BENDIS: Are you dressed as Wonder Woman?

WHEDON: Occasionally.

BENDIS: Okay, because that was the other rumor.

WHEDON: Whatever it takes to get me in the mood.

BENDIS: [Laughs]

WHEDON: It’s kept me busy for a long time. I’m finally finishing the second draft. I’m very happy with it, but wow! Wow, this one was like pulling teeth. It’s tough. I would watch“Batman Begins” and just grumble, just ***** and moan, because he’s got everything. He’s got so much of the work done for him. He’s got the best rogues’ gallery. He’s got the best origin story. Wonder Woman is a lot more to figure out. But it’s coming together. And if you would direct those actresses to my office, it’s in Santa Monica. It’s not hard to find.


I honestly think he's going to walk from the project at some point soon

[GL's Light]

But even in that interview he says very little about WW. He just says that he's had a tough time writing it. His point about WW having a rogues gallery much weaker than Batman's is accurate, in my opinion. Although I think there are WW villains who could make good onscreen antagonists if they were written properly. I don't think there's cause to harangue him at this point. We need to see and hear more.

[Lobo]

I'm trying but he did say in a previous interview "I'm getting rid of her costume, she shouldnt wear the amercain flag and the bottom will be a Xena style skirt" he also said "She wont fly, We have a guy that flies so she wont" and while most people assume flight is new for WW she's been doing it since 1945

He has Greek Mythology, Ares is a huge part of WW and would work fine on screen as would Circe or even Giganta

IMO a man of Joss' talent shouldnt have had this much trouble with a Wonder Woman script it should not have been like "pulling teeth" unless he's changing everything

[GL's Light]

If the costume has a star-spangled skirt and an armored eagle breastplate, like it's sometimes portrayed in the comics, that would be a great look on film - better than the swimming costume look, in my opinion. But if Joss ditches the star-spangled motif altogether, then I'll be pissed about that right along side you.

IMO, there is a very simple test whether a candidate is physically suitable for the role.

3 things must be satisfied - Height, facial beauty and strong-looking yet feminine body.

Most of the posters here on this thread have got the height and body right with respect to their suggestions.

However, I think, most of us being guys, have been so blinded by a hot body and/or fake boobs that we forget to analyze the part of the candidate above her neckline--you know--the face!!!

Trica Helfer, Jessica Biel, Manuela Arcuri, Lucia Tovar--are you kidding us!? Just crop the body out and look at their faces in isolation--they are either ordinary features or borderline ugly.

Also posed publicity photos with a ton of makeup and digital touchups don't count. Post candid photos in natural light for the true test of facial beauty.

Wonder Woman has to be that special luminous creature with both a perfect body AND face.

[Steelsheen]

I think Tricia Helfer and Jessica Biel are both gorgeous (although I don't think Biel has the right type of beauty for WW). To each his own, I suppose.

[natnut]

..... and commanding presence

That part, only the director will know from the actual screen test.

[Steelsheen]

^^ some actresses' commanding presence can be detected even just from photographs. case in point: Catherine Zeta Jones. in fact that's good, if such a trait can reach across a static medium imagine how much more it would be if she starts moving or when you meet her in person?

[enterthemadness]

Whoever plays Wonder Woman needs to look hot and be able to do most or all of their stunts. And of course,...act.

Honestly this photo doesn't flatter her face at all. She looks old here.
The B&W photo you posted removes all details of the face like wrinkles and doesn't show the symmetry or (lack of symmetry)of her face.

The swimsuit photo in the post above is a typical FHMish/Maximish photo which has been airbrushed and posed in special lighting.



Perhaps it was just an odd angle. If you could post other pics of hers, preferably candids.....

Taylor Cole I concede is a natural beauty as Kane has proved with his numerous candids.

BTW, let's just have a good natured discussion. Ultimately, we just want the same thing--the most kickass WW possible.

[Lobo]

Yep she can act and I was the first to bring her name up and also she's tall :D

[Hunter Rider]

What has she acted in ?

[Lobo]

Summerland and she did an episode of Supernatural recently

well you need an unknown, and she was good thats all that matters :p

[Hunter Rider]

well you need an unknown, and she was good thats all that matters :p

Im not sure an unknown is the best way to go but was Summerland drama ?

[Lobo]

OK I dont think it should be anyone too well known, and yeah the show was meh but she stood out to me, she was great on her Supernatural appearance IMO

Other than Batman, most iconic superhero movies have been using relative unknowns. Christopher Reeves before he was cast as Superman did mostly Broadway or soap operas.

More recently Brandon Routh had also been doing mostly soaps.

Taylor Cole definitely has the physical appearance of Wonder Woman, and from her screencaps, she looks like she might have the acting clout to pull it off. She gets my vote. :up::up::up:

[Antonello Blueberry]

Guys, I hate to repeat myslef, but really Manuela Arcuri is one of the worst actresses in the world. She's like an Italian Jessica Simpson.

ok, that analogy is enough for me to give her this :down

[Psionic Force]

I love Katherine McPhee... and yea... she would be great. But as much as I love her, I do not think it would be wise for them to cast her. For one, she now goes against the 'relative unknown' that Joss wanted. And two ... I think that casting an AI in the lead might just bring bad press to the movie.

She's beautiful. How well did she deliver in her television appearences? Cole is really a fan favorite for this role, it's a shame her name hasn't been brought up yet.

[natnut]

^^ some actresses' commanding presence can be detected even just from photographs. case in point: Catherine Zeta Jones. in fact that's good, if such a trait can reach across a static medium imagine how much more it would be if she starts moving or when you meet her in person?

Lots of models look commanding on static media like photos. The moment they open their mouth and speak, that illusion is totally destroyed. CZJ just happens to act as well as she looks.

[kansas boy]

How about this girl...

She's 5' 7" and is indian, giving her that exotic look, and she has blue/green eyes. Also an actress/model and a nice figure to fit into the outfit.

You say all that, Anto, but yet you can find pictures and news clips saying that she does theater as well as TV (and she still keeps getting parts). I have seen two films that she was in and, although I do not understand Italian (I do know a little spanish), I could tell that she's not that bad an actress. I also notice that you are the only one saying that she can't act. All I can say to you readers out there is to rent a couple of the films she's been in ("Cosa de Brujas" and "Mad Love") and be the judge for yourselves.

[dpm07]

While I do support your choice for Morena Baccarin, she's actually Brazilian. She was actually born in Rio, and moved to the US around the age of 10. Granted, I know she does have some Italian ancestory, but she has Brazilian citizenship and US citizenship.

[Steelsheen]

nah lots of models just pout their lips or frown to look "commanding". there's a quality about CZJ (and other powerful women) that i can detect that is commanding, theres just this presence you know what i mean? its elusive and not common to most women but when she has it, like CZJ, its like WHOAH! Angelina Jolie has it, Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, Connie Nielsen, and of course you have the great political women (Thatcher, Rodham-Clinton). none of them pout their lips or frown, but in photographs you KNOW these are women you dont mess with.

that's what i mean about commanding presence that the actress that will play WW ought to have (anyway I wish she'd have).

[bulok]

Clinton just looks like a *****. she doesn't strike me as commanding. now if you watch The Apprentice, that one exec who hangs out with Trump. Now you don't mess with her. you know she got her position cos she knows her ****, and she doesn't take **** either.

I agree with you about Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton and Connie Nielsen but mainly because I've seen them act on the silver screen. My interpretation is that their commanding onscreen presence is more a function of their great acting ability.

The reason I say this is because I've seen Cate Blanchett in interviews on Letterman and Leno and she came across as sweet, gracious and approachable but as Queen Elizabeth--woah! Total transformation.

So, I would be a little cautious to judge an actor's ability to command the screen just from their photos alone.

i'm not saying just to use photos alone (come one dude give me a little credit), but photos do act as one of the filtering tools to weed out the fluff. the next test would probably be the audition tape but even that's not full proof. meeting the director/ casting agent would be the best, but again that dosnt come easy, it will be after months and months of looking at photos and after that audition tapes.

but notice that photos are always the first step. and given the amount of names and photos posted in this thread, those with even a remote possibility of even looking like they have commanding presence is what 10%? thats still a lot, but it beats having to view autdiotion tapes for the whole 100% you know what i'm saying?

but here we are talking about casting. hell Whedon isnt even done with the script drafts yet.

[Jgam2602]

my perfect choice for wonder woman is Salma Heyek, she has the look and the wits. http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~osama/stuff/Salma_Hayek.jpg

[kansas boy]

I second that.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/JohnDylan6/SH.jpg

or her, which she has been mentioned before. I like her alot she could definitely fit the part.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/JohnDylan6/WW4.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/JohnDylan6/WonderWoman.jpg

look at her, I can see her wearing the tiara and everything.

[ToddIsDead]

Heyek's accent ruins it for me. I mean, for Wonder Woman. Not in real life.

[Thot]

Wonder Woman is a weak enough character to be in need of a "known" actress. Unlike Batman, Superman and Spiderman, Wonder Woman doesn't stand alone very well. I still think Kate Beckinsale would be absolutely perfect. She has star power but she's still not a household name. She's starring in "Click" with Adam Sandler and that will further enhance her profile. "Click" is also further proof she can nail an American accent. I think she's the whole package.

[Savage]

Sure she can. People are forgetting she's just as famous as the other main 2. She's had her own tv series as well so that alone should bring enough of an audience to this movie. Not to mention the publicity in JLU...If anything, she's actually MORE famous than Spider-man (prior to the movie) and he did fine with a relatively unknown...Christian Bale is relatively unknown, Brandon Routh is relatively unknown and there is huge anticipation for that movie. There is really nothing that says she needs a big star to carry the movie.

[Kane]

Eh I still find that Kate, facially, looks nothing like WW. Shes as wrong as Jessica Biel.

to you maybe. Wonder Woman is as popular as Batman and Superman to other people for several generations.

btw Beckinsale said she doesnt want the role even if it was offered to her. she said it so many times she sounded like a broken cd.

She keeps getting parts because she's gorgeous and famous, she's always on the cover of some gossip magazine for her love story with an Italian champion swordsman. And she was the star of a couple of season of one of the most succesful (even if bad) TV series her in Italy.
If you don't trust me, ask some other Italians on the boards like Felix or Ita-KalEl.

[GL's Light]

Honestly, Miss Arcuri has an incredible body but she looks 10 yrs too old to play the young Diana--this is supposed to be an Origin story remember?

The photo of Katharine was taken at 5 am in the morning while she was suffering from flu(rehearsal for the Today Show) and she still looks more fresh than Miss Arcuri. Sometimes, there is no substitute for youth and clean living.

really? she had the flu then? i thought it was just one of those candid shots.

[natnut]

This set of candid photos were taken at the rehearsal just before the broadcast of the Today Show, around 4-5ish in the morning.

According to her fans present at the taping of the show, she appeared tired, her voice was more husky than normal and she appeared to have a stuffy nose--OK maybe I'm reading too much into that but the point was that she was under the weather that day and was far from her usual best.

(I'm slightly ashamed to admit it but I got all that from hanging around her fansites' messageboards.)

[Steelsheen]

yeah she's gotten herself quite a following hasnt she? :D

[That-Guy]

Hey, I'd like to nominate my girlfriend as a potential candidate for Wonder Woman! She's an actress whose an expert on dialects, she knows all sorts of hand to hand combat techniques (with and without weapons), she's beautiful and she really wants the role. Plus she loves Joss Whedon's stuff. Personally, I don't like him, but hey, whatever. I might post a photo but I have to ask her first.

This is kind of a straw man argument here. In actuality nobody submits photos like that to the sutdios for a job and no studio or production company produces a film with their actors unmade up (not normally), but yet you want to use this as a comparison of your candidate versus other actresses? The truth is that she (McPhee) is only marginal at best compared to other beautiful actresses and has yet to make it big as a star and you haven't fooled me.

[natnut]

yeah she's gotten herself quite a following hasnt she? :D

It's not just in terms of numbers, most of her fans are pretty hardcore. If they translated that into support for the movie(assuming Katharine got the part), you'd have a huge pool of repeat viewers for the film--boosting the box office considerably.

[Mister J]

From the Philadelphia Daily News (it's at the bottom of the page after the article on 'Checkmate').
http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/14851655.htm

Will they cast her type?

Jill Wagner, who plays Krista in the new "Blade" TV series, says she may be in the running for the title role of "Wonder Woman."

"My manager was talking to me about it," says Wagner, who has the looks, height and now the experience to pull off the DC icon. "You know, it's kind of weird, though. Sometimes you get stereotyped into one role... like, sad to say, Superman... and I do want to do a lot of other roles."

Jill, there are scores of actors who were TV regulars and who are now doing "Where Are They Now?" segments. Christopher Reeve, however, will forever be remembered as Superman and people still recall Lynda Carter from her short time as an Amazonian. If you have a shot at the role, take it, for goddess' sake.

Meh. :O

Jill is midrange in terms of size (she's just a bit above 5'8) and looks. If Todd Phillips ever gets around to doing his "Six Million Dollar Man" movie, Jill would actually be a good candidate for the Jaime Sommers role.

Does anybody know if Jill is related to Lindsay Wagner? They sort of look alike.

Don't worry, the article says that she is getting this infor from her manager and it seems that she is a bit reluctant to take the part for fear of being typecasted. Her manager may be approaching the studio, but I doubt that the studio is really serious about her (yet).

[Kane]

Eh I dont like her. Ive seen her on TV. Her face is pretty rough.

Doesnt resemble WW in the slightest.

[dnno1]

I don't think so. According to one of her fan clubs (http://www.lindsaywagner.co.uk/). Lindsay Wagner has two children Dorian and Alex.

[britrogue]

I vote Jennifer Connoly

[Donnie Darko]

imdb has Priyanka Chopra listed as in negotiations to play Wonder Woman. I've never seen her act, but she has a lot of movies in her credits. And honestly, I've never seen her before, but she has a better look for it than anyone I've seen.

If this casting negotiation is "real" (and please take this with a 'grain of salt' since they have not even finished writing the script yet), and since we are all clamering for some actual news on this film, let's have fun speculating:

More Pictures of Priyanka:
http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/2439/priyankachopraforww1kx.jpg

Quick Bio:
Born: July 18, 1982 in Jamshedpur, India
Height: 5' 9"
Former Miss World winner (2000)
Extensive Bollywood career: http://imdb.com/name/nm1231899/

An Interview with Priyanka:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlT3CgMo5Y8
She is stunningly beautiful and sounds very articulate.

And here she is talking about her role in "Krrish", a superhero film premiering in June 2006 in Asian Cinemas.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgOynZ874Vc

Teaser Trailer for "Krrish" (sadly Priyanka is not in it) - looks like a fun/cool flick! - scroll down
mftm.blogspot.com and here is the offical site for the movie: http://www.krrishthemovie.com/

The Accent Question:
Although Priyanka does have an accent, shouldn't Wonder Woman have one? I would agree that WW's accent should sound undetermined (not specific to any one country) - as Wonder Woman should be universal in the way she communicates, adapting her speech and dialect to fit where ever she is, however, if Priyanka can pull off a "unique" accent, go for it!! And to quote dnno1 "That doesn't mean that she doesn't have the ability to speak with a different dialect. That is a characteristic of some good actors/actresses (Meryl Streep is one of the best at speaking with accents). I wouldn't use her casual speech as a discriminating factor here. You will have to see her in a English film or a screen test to make that determination."

[dnno1]

...and to add to my quote, you can't tell that she is Indian from her singing (she has a beautiful voice).

[Steelsheen]

[Kane]

She should appear out of everyones vague memory of the character. Even the JLU cartoon drew WW similar to Lynda.

Taylor has some similarity to Lynda and some to the comicbook WW, shes perfect. She can act too.



And that Indian actress is an awful choice, that rumor is clearly bull.

casting a Wonder Woman based on the fact that she looks like Lynda Carter is like casting a Batman based on the fact that he looks like Adam West.

[tamron]

^ I agree with you Donnie, but look at Superman Returns. Routh got the role in part b/c of his similarity to Chris Reeve. If it works with audiences, WB may influence Whedon to do the same with WW.

[terry78]

^Superman was a movie, though. Wonder Woman was an old tv show. While it has a following, it's still seen by some as a very cheesy 1970's-80's era show. Most of the fanbase aside from the really old fans would care less if she looks like Carter or not.

[Kane]

Regardless. Look how Lynda Carter's facial features influenced alot of WW artistic interpretations.

She was just perfect casting at the time.

Now if they wana cast Lynda as Hippolyta in the film, Taylor is the only one who looks like WW but also believeably looks like Lynda's daughter.

What are you talking about? 10 years ago Lucy Lawless would've been PERFECT for the role. Heck, Xena is obviously based off of Wonder Woman anyway. :rolleyes:

But true, she is far to old now.

[Steelsheen]

Personally shes way more of a Zatanna in my eyes.
now there i will agree with you 101% :up:

I hope this Wonder Woman winds up a go just for the manips viewing alone.

The Wonder!

Morena Baccarin definitely for Zatanna.

Lucy Lawless would have been perfect Wonder Woman 10 years ago. When she played Xena you could totally see Diana there. I mean c'mon warrior princess? Everything about it screams WW. She could probably play Hippolyta but not Diana

I think Katharine McPhee is perfect for WW...
Of course I'm judging by her looks but I heard she was a pretty good actress.
That pilot that wasn't picked up... I hope it ends up on YouTube or somewhere
My main concern is that she just turns up for the screen test with Joss Whedon.

IMO, Joss should just put out of his mind whether an actress is famous or not, what the movie execs try to pressure him with, what the fans want, all the other non-essential considerations...

What should be most important to him is this :

Does she bring to life the demi-goddess he's created in his screenplay? Does she fit the image he has in his mind's eye? Because at the end of the day, if the chosen actress can't even match the vision he has for his own film, then as an artist, he has compromised his vision--I'd rather watch the slightly flawed but accurate realisation of an artist's work than something HE THINKS will be crowd-pleasing.

Of course, my personal preference will be that Katharine matches Joss' personal vision for the film and from what I know of his works(Firefly, Serenity, Buffy, Angel, Toy Story) and his own comments on Wonder Woman, I feel fairly confident his tastes and mine will match.

The reason? It's hard for people to relate to a demi-goddess like WW, unlike Batman and Spiderman who are all too human. That's why I think that Joss is an inspired choice as director/screenwriter---there's one thing that Joss is good at above all things and that's to make his protagonists relateable-- Buffy, the characters in Firefly etc....

That brings me to the reason why I think Katharine is perfect for WW despite Kane saying she looks too sweet and saccharine to be a fierce Warrior demi-god. I still contend she can look fierce and queenly when it's needed but she still has a little of the girl-next-door quality which is what is needed in order for audiences to care for and root for her when she's going toe-to-toe with the The God of War.

That's what I see in her. An ability to look awe-inspiring/goddesslike one second and then a sweet, dorky girl the next. There's a warmth to her face I feel the other candidates lack.

....then a sweet, dorky girl the next....
