Official Wonder Woman Casting Suggestions [merged-13]

[Kebab gud]

Yeah but I faced reality. I was alone in my opinion on Julia Roberts as Wonder Woman. At least I have some supporters on Liv Tyler. Besides, I didn't think of Liv until after I said that so you could say I changed my mind.

name one!

[jrpstarwars]

name one!

There out there. When Liv is officially announced they will all come out of the closet.

[jrpstarwars]

Be grateful for Liv.

[Dope Nose]

that's Juliette Lewis. :confused:

[jrpstarwars]

that's Juliette Lewis. :confused:
yeah:huh:

[SufferingSappho]

That's why I said Liv Tyler, but no one can accept that she is most apt and qualified in all areas being considered.

People need to face reality. Liv Tyler IS Wonder Woman. Not Morena Baccarin, not Cobie Smulders, not Jennifer Connelly. Liv it is.

Why did you make the suggestion of Denise Richards if you think Liv Tyler IS Wonder Woman, why not just stick with Liv? :huh:
And I think that you are the one that need to face reality, Wonder Woman is a fictional character not some actress named Liv Tyler.

I like Liv, but she's not Wonder Woman. Also after The Lord of the Rings she has said that she did not wish to make anymore big movies just smaller indie films.

Said Denise Richards just to throw another name out there. Plus I think she looks the part.

I am not sure what you mean by me 'facing reality.'

Liv said no more big movies. Nothing against Liv Tyler but we all know how true to their word celebrities are. Wonder Woman IS the most coveted female part in the world. Liv would be foolish and disrespectful not to listen if it were offered.

Liv Tyler IS Wonder Woman.

[SufferingSappho]

Said Denise Richards just to throw another name out there. Plus I think she looks the part. But she's an awful actress and too old, so why suggest her at all?

I am not sure what you mean by me 'facing reality.' You think Liv Tyler is Wonder Woman and she's not, Liv Tyler is an actor and Wonder Woman is a fictional Amazon Princess in a comic book. Liv Tyler is not Wonder Woman that is the reality.

Liv Tyler IS Wonder Woman.
See, that is not reality, that is an odd little boy fantasying.

You're a poo poo head!:cmad: I said Liv Tyler IS Wonder Woman because she is in my book which is damn near the holy word, next to the bible.

[SufferingSappho]

Liv would be foolish and disrespectful not to listen if it were offered.How is it disrespectful for somebody not to take a part that they don't want? I think it is disrespectful to take a role just because other people desire it.

You're a poo poo head! I said Liv Tyler IS Wonder Woman because she is in my book which is damn near the holy word, next to the bible.You are a very very strange little boy!

[DrayvensCrow]

You're a poo poo head!:cmad:


Now that we're finished with the commercial for the Jake Johanssen Vocabulary BuilderUpper.....:whatever:

Sorry but neither Liv nor Denise are the embodiment of Wondy. It doesn't matter how hard you wish it, argue for it or daydream about it! Besides, isn't it time for your meds?!

As far as the flack for wanting Lynda to play Hippolyta, Polly isn't going to be in that much of the movie and having Lynda play that part is a respectful nod to her work on the series. It's like having Jack Larson and Noell Neill in SR, nothing more...nothing less. I'm not saying Polly has to be in 3/4 of the film and no screenwriter would do that anyway.

And as for the whole Steve/Etta thing, the more I read about it, the less I like it. I do like the Post-Crisis Perez arc idea, though.

MONICA DEAN is WONDER WOMAN

[Steelsheen]

i dont think so.

[batbat_29640]

i dont think so.
I agree. Thought it was a good idea but now I see crustage and droopy boobage. Not even a good KC WW now.

[dpm07]

Monica Dean is pretty, but she's closing in on that 30 mark, and with no director in sight, she could be well over 30 before the film were to be made, and near her 40's by the time a trilogy might be done.

I'd say lean toward a mid-20's person who can convey an older spirit and well-seasoned approach. Remember, Wonder Woman is a seasoned warrior, and thousands of years old. She just isn't used to man's world.

Also, whoever suggested Liv Tyler needs to seriously readjust their way of thinking. She's porked out considerably since having her kid, and not gotten herself into shape. She was pretty during the LOTR films, but that was her beauty peak. I'd say there are a lot better looking actresses who deserve the chance over Tyler. Let her stick to the independent rolls, er roles.

[spark627]

monica dean is beautiful, but not for a young ww.

[Majik1387]

I'm still liking Jodi Lynn O'Keefe for the role.

[batboy99]

^yeah!
i do like dean for WW Too

[DrayvensCrow]

I agree. Thought it was a good idea but now I see crustage and droopy boobage. Not even a good KC WW now.

"Crustage"?! "Droopy Boobage"?!:huh: :wow:

Ok, tell the truth....you've been hanging out with jrpstarwars, haven't you? Or you ally looked at the pic of Darryl Hannah he put up?:csad:

[terry78]

This is going to be one of those things that will never get solved. Most young chicks look too well...young and inexperienced to be WW. The ones that look mature enough are too old to portray her. Somebody is gonna have to compromise.

[batboy99]

id say theyre better off going older than,i doubt they will make more then 1 movie imo,so id say belluci,shes damn hot for her age

[Red Mask]

D'accord. The whole trilogy concept shouldn't be applied to every superhero film.

[Dark Knight]

Jessica Biel as WW dammit!

[Majik1387]

Jessica Biel as WW dammit!
Ew, no. And no to her as Selina Kyle/Catwoman

[dpm07]

Ew, no. And no to her as Selina Kyle/Catwoman

Biel would be better served as Diana based on her athleticism and physique. Let's focus on Biel as a Wonder Woman candidate if you're going to focus on anything.

That said, I think Taylor Cole is probably the best option at this point, and if they want a well-known name run with Biel.

[terry78]

Wonder Woman's looks matter more than Supes and Bats' looks do. It's not right, but it's the truth. Yes, Superman and Batman should be good physical specimens, but we don't lament over it like we have been with WW. I've rarely heard anyone mention anything about the actress being able to portray Diana's personality, only that she must be hot enough.

[nolan's roll'n]

Biel wouldn't be bad, though I'd probably go with Tiffani Thessien. She resembles a young Lynda Carter.

[Katsuro]

Biel wouldn't be bad, though I'd probably go with Tiffani Thessien. She resembles a young Lynda Carter.

That's a choice that lacks any real research. Theissen is actually very short. She does not resemble a young Lynda Carter who was taller than Theissen. Theissen is really only a television actress. Let's also factor into the equation that she is 33 years old, and Wonder Woman isn't even in production. It probably won't go into production for a couple years in which case she'd be on the dark side of 35. Waaaay too old to be Wonder Woman, and way too short, and way lacking in any kind of box office appeal. She's associated with Lifetime movies, and she really doesn't have that "It" factor that would entice people to go see a Wonder Woman film.

Wonder Woman has to really have a top notch script, director, and the right actress for it to work. It already has an uphill battle as a female hero film. Kelly Kapowski is not Wonder Woman.

[blksuperman2]

Kelly Kapowski is not Wonder Woman.

LOL. That's sig worthy.

This cannot be denied.

[Aethea]

All these suggestions for Wonder Woman are all very wrong because I would be seeing "FAMOUS ACTRESS" in a Wonder Woman costume and not Wonder Woman herself. I prefer an unknown and that is the only logical casting. if you put Biel in the Wonder Woman costume, it would be like seeing "Biel" in a Wonder Woman outfit and not really Wonder Woman herself. Therefore, all these known casting suggestions, in my opinion, are soooooo unfitting.

http://cinemablend.com/new/Eva-Green-As-Wonder-Woman-4548.html

http://cinemablend.com/images/news_img/4548/4548.jpg
Earlier this month the news broke that Joss Whedon was off Wonder Woman, and that Warner Brothers had bought up someone else’s script and planned to move on to making the movie without him. Now that the big, lumbering, Whedon roadblock is out of the way, maybe this movie can finally get made.

Hey, I like Whedon’s work but the guy has had the Wonder Woman ball in his course for what… two years? He had plenty of time to do something with it, and didn’t. Maybe that’s why Warners gave him the boot.

With Whedon out of the way, it’s time to restart the Wonder Woman (http://cinemablend.com/new/Eva-Green-As-Wonder-Woman-4548.html#) casting rumor machine. I’m afraid we’ll have to be the first to start it. Don’t curl up in a ball just yet, because the name that just floated across my desk for the part is, in my humble opinion, the best choice yet.

Tonight a scooper, who’s given us good information before, emailed me to let me know that Casino Royale star Eva Green may be up for the part of the Amazonian superhero. Now hold on, don’t run around screaming that she has it. Right now they’re considering several different people. Even if this rumor is true, Eva is just one of the names on their shopping list.

The good news is that maybe someone will actually get the part this time. The WB seems hot to get this movie made, expect things to move a little more quickly now that the Whedon speedbump is gone.

As for Eva Green, I can’t imagine anyone more perfect. She has the look, she has the physique, and more importantly she can really act. Don’t judge her simply by the disposable Bond babe thing in Casino Royale. Check out The Dreamers for a more full frontal look at her body of work.

[Red Mask]

Why not? I don't have any problems with a European actress getting the role.

[Majik1387]

I would love Eva Green for Wonder Woman. I was introduced to her through The Dreamers.

[terry78]

Green has acting experience, and isn't known enough yet to actually be recognizable as anything but Wonder Woman. No one knew who the hell Routh was before Superman, and only a handful knew Bale from his random indie movies and small supporting parts. She's not going to be mind numbingly hot, but be honest....how many good actresses are out there that are supermodel hot? Be honest.

The only problem is that she's not that tall.

[Justice Bringer]

Shes like 5'4-ish I think.

I've seen better choices.

[blksuperman2]

That's it? She looks a lot taller than that in the few films I've seen her in. Wasn't she also in 'Kingdom of Heaven'?

[Justice Bringer]

I think so.

I dont like her for the role though. I dont see any resemblence to WW.

Shes very creepy looking:

I understand about the height, but her body can be buled up with the right training. And seeing how long it's taking this movie to be made, I'm predicting she'll have loads of time.

[InkSlinger]

That's because comic book messege boards are notoriously populated by idiots.


Idiots with a lot of time on their hands and opinions that no one but the other idiots want to hear.
I knew we were all part of the Kingdom of Id.
(Johnny Hart will be very proud to know this.)

If and when this movie ever gets made, because it is now being produced by WB, don't be surprised if you see the Smallville/Justice League treatment done to it. In fact, they may try to put an episode past us that "introduces" Diana to Clark. Amazing that all of the DC universe has now been transformed into 20-something's. Cattering to just that one demographic has destroyed any credibility that they ever had.

I have lost interest in Smallville and anything else that the WB/CW/DC may produce. I'll watch the Batman Returns movie franchise and maybe, just maybe, the next Superman movie.
From now on, MAKE MINE MARVEL!

[Mercurius]

If miss Green would just really get the role. That would be perfect.

It'd stop the very bad rumours of poor casting choices once and for all (like those girls attached to Whedon's previous experiences, for instance).

Finally a real good rumour, for a change. That's nice.

I agree totally:up:

[FVD]

Eva is actually 5'6" and she's currently 26 years of age. If she gets the part I wouldn't be too worried. But I'd still prefer an unknown over the likes of Liv Tyler for example.

[ultimatefan]

I have yet to see Casino Royale, so I´ll get back on the Eva Green rumor later. Anyway, to have a WW that has been actually naked in a movie - The Dreamers - wouldn´t be bad...

[Fused]

I would be sooo down with Eva getting the part. Kind of wondered why I have never even thought of it.

[Steelsheen]

she has everything going for her except height.

It's possible that the film has been placed on the backburner. It's very difficult to sell a female superhero film, and on top of that, there's the issue of finding the right actress be it either an unknown, or a star.

Furthermore, Singer's SR was really not universally well received by the public due to it's incorporating "Superson" and also the poor storyline and lack of action. WB may be hesitant to bankroll a film like Wonder Woman that would cost more than a Batman film, but less than a Superman film, but still expensive. Especially in lieu of the less than stellar performance of SR at the box office.

Many females I've talked to are really interested in seeing a Wonder Woman film brought to the screen, but many males I've talked to, say a Wonder Woman film, while a novel idea, would probably perform poorly. I wonder if this is par for course across gender lines. One common theme I've noticed, is that universally, the thing that stands out to most people is the interest in the Wonder Woman theme from the '70's, and the interest in hearing it on the big screen in some form.

Batman Begins cost about $150 million. There is no way WB will put that kind of money into a WW movie. If they make this movie they will make it on the scale of the Blade movies and keep the budget around $75 million.

[dpm07]

I think Superion is right. Considering the way SR underperformed at the box office, and alienated the audience, I can't see them putting that much into a Wonder Woman film. I'd say between 70-100 million would be the most.

While she's a well-known superhero, that doesn't always translate into a great film ie. SR, and the box office is where they want to make it happen in order to bring in the fans.

[Kebab gud]

if WB was so god damn Emo about SR then TDK whould never get the budget its getting.. ($200mill)

[Red Mask]

With the new plans for a JLAmerica film, it could solve their problem of promoting more superheroes. But that means they'll have to juggle capes like in the X-Men films.

[superion]

There is no comparison between Superman/Batman and WW. Superman and Batman have had 10 pictures made between them most of which have been successful. Only one of the Batman pictures failed financially (Batman and Robin) so putting $200 million in Batman is a fairly safe bet.

Add in numerous cartoons and television shows SM/BM have had and WW is no where close to SM/BM. Her comics not only sell less the than SM/BM but numerous other DC chracters and before her appearance in the JL cartoon the last mass exposure she had was the WW TV show in the 70's.

Lastly its still a female hero movie and the track record is just lousy on those. There have been some good ones Aliens, Kill Bill and Tomb Raider but most have been disasters and the ones based on Superheros have all been failures going back to SuperGirl.

It's no wonder no one likes your tastes jrp, you obviously don't have any good taste.

[Crazymaverick]

The problem with all these FHM and Maxim type models and/or actresses is that while they are all projected as uber sexy (nothing wrong with that), they lose out on integrity IMO.

Wonder Woman needs to be played by an actress who not only has SOLID acting chops but someone who exudes integrity.

This is not to say that she shouldn't be sexy, no not at all. It is just that she should have an understated and subtle sexuality/sensuality, otherwise she'll end up looking like a stripper/pornstar/bondage queen.

Remember the lead character in a movie like this (Superman/Batman/Spider-Man etc) should be someone girls or guys would like to take home to meet their parents. Plus she is a princess, so she needs that regal quality. (Like the late Princess Diana)

So IMO it should be someone like this (not necessarily this actress):

I don't know if she'd be my first choice, but I can say I wouldn't be upset if she received the role, and she would definitely bring in a world-wide audience, and this would be a great film to introduce her to an American audience. I'm not sure if she's up for the role physically. I do think she has a bit of a dancing background, however.

Aishwarya Rai as Wonder Woman could be a win-win for the studios, the actress, and the fans of a Wonder Woman film.

Thanks for the vote of confidence dpm, it's always gratifying to know other people out there share your opinion.

However, I wasn't suggesting Aishwarya, per se. I was just saying that someone with this kind of look and persona would be perfect for the part.

I just don't want Wonder Woman to have a "cage dancer" vibe.

[terry78]

^I agree, as most people on here seem to be picking import model types with no acting experience whatsoever that are the right age, or choosing actresses that are too old for the role but do embody the character. Neither of these will fly.

[Crazymaverick]

^ 'nuff said.

[SufferingSappho]

Crazymaverick I very much agree with you on all you have said. :yay: Wonder Woman is intelligent, powerful, regal, noble and she's beautiful, all of that makes her sexy. And Aishwarya Rai is a lovely woman, and though I don't think she the best for the part, she is the right type of lady for the role.

Morena Baccarin is my favorite for the part she's a fantastic actress, she has the lovely face, the hair, the curvy body, she has a very elegant quality, she's 5'8" which is Wonder Woman's height in the original comic books and she looks like a regal Greek princess. The one thing she doesn't have is blue eyes, but I loved the way the blue contacts looked on Brandon Routh as Superman.

And Morena is not a dead ringer for Lynda Carter, but they have a very similar look and I know a lot of people want to see the new actress look somewhat like Carter:

No offense but I would rather choose an actress that embodies WW's likeness, not Lynda Carter. We already had that with SR and that didn't turn out so well.

[SufferingSappho]

No offense taken at all, I agree and I hope that they don't select a woman because she a clone of Lynda Carter. I can see Morena embodying the character of Diana and making it her own because she's a very good actress and she looks the part.

These are good points.

[Crazymaverick]

Crazymaverick I very much agree with you on all you have said. :yay: Wonder Woman is intelligent, powerful, regal, noble and she's beautiful, all of that makes her sexy. And Aishwarya Rai is a lovely woman, and though I don't think she the best for the part, she is the right type of lady for the role.

Morena Baccarin is my favorite for the part she's a fantastic actress, she has the lovely face, the hair, the curvy body, she has a very elegant quality, she's 5'8" which is Wonder Woman's height in the original comic books and she looks like a regal Greek princess. The one thing she doesn't have is blue eyes, but I loved the way the blue contacts looked on Brandon Routh as Superman.

And Morena is not a dead ringer for Lynda Carter, but they have a very similar look and I know a lot of people want to see the new actress look somewhat like Carter:

Thanks Sappho, it's good to know people are "getting" what I'm trying to say.

And if Morena can pull it off? Why not?

After all she is (according to Joss Whedon) a Julliard graduate.

But (always a but) I'll somehow always see Inara whenever I look at her on screen.

Just my opinion.

[Fused]

Another one to toss on the stack of reasons why its a good thing Joss is gone: the unlikeliness of Morena being cast.

[Red Mask]

Guys. Get over it. Whedon's gone. Morena's got less of chance than a jailbait actress with breast implants.

[Crazymaverick]

:woot:

[SufferingSappho]

Guys. Get over it. Whedon's gone. Morena's got less of chance than a jailbait actress with breast implants.

So, we must stop hoping we get a good choice like Morena because Whedon is gone? :huh:

IMO, Baccarin is still the best woman for the part and that is not going to change just because Joss Whedon is off the film.

[dpm07]

I am a strong advocate of Morena Baccarin as well. I do think her chances are slimmer though and not so sure fire because Whedon is off the film. However, that doesn't nullify her chances completely. She's definitely a potential.

I personally think they will likely use an actress in the WB stable. Perhaps someone who is on the rise. I could see Jessica Biel, Taylor Cole, or even Sophia Bush as options for WB as they belong to that particular stable.

A lot is going to hinge on who the next potential director will be, and the direction that person is leaning toward with regard to the film's premise.

And as time goes by she still gets less a chance than a jailbait actress with breast implants.

[Katsuro]

And as time goes by she still gets less a chance than a jailbait actress with breast implants.

She has no worse of a chance than any other actress who fits the role as well as she does. She may have lost her slight advantage (having worked with the director), but she still has a good chance for the simple fact that she'd be great in the role.

Eva's not my first choice, but I wouldn't be opposed to her getting the role. She definitely has an enticing and rather exotic look which would serve Wonder Woman well.

She's listed as 5'6 at Celeb Height. That's pushing it for me height-wise. I'd prefer her to be 5'7 or taller. However, I can accept this as a height for her, and I can accept her for Wonder Woman if she's chosen.

I will still campaign for my candidates, but Eva's a good choice, too.

Has she made any comments with regard to wanting the role or being interested in doing it?

[SufferingSappho]

Baccarin has a sweet youthful face, but she has just as much personality as miss Green, and more important the personality that suits the character of Diana. I can't say the same about Eva Green.

Sorry, but Eva doesn't have a stern warrior demeanor at all. Lynda Carter was not a great actress but she did look the part, but I agree I'm very sick of supermodel that can't act getting the work that should go to true actors and acting ability is more important then just a pretty face, but the looks are important.

Yeah give it to Eva Green. She has that some kind of beautiful indeed. I wouldn't complain. There'd be some added star power should the Justice League ever go full steam ahead.

Maybe that is the problem, you don't care anymore. Well some of us do and we'd like to see Wonder Woman look and act like Wonder Woman. Eva Green is a good actor and she's pretty, but she is too short, she does not look like Diana and she has a very strong French accent. IMO, she's all wrong for this.

[Crazymaverick]

How about Taylor Cole?

She's on the show Summerland

She's 5'8.5" and 22 years old

Plus I think she's drop dead gorgeous.

Taylor Cole won me over with her performance on Supernatural last season. She was awesome. I could see her as Wonder Woman.

I've campaigned long and hard for Morena Baccarin, but Taylor Cole may be winning me over. It's close to call for me.

I'd definitely have no problems if Taylor Cole got the role.

Lynda Carter did look like the seventies WW did. She was accepted because she was the embodiment of WW for that time. As for Eva, haven't seen enough to make any decision on her acting ability. I really think, though, we need to stay with actresses in the 5' 9"-5'10" range. Anyone have a book with undiscovered actresses in it????:woot:

SufferingSappho, I don't really see alot of people wanting the role cast to a Lynda Carter-lookalike, but more along the lines of someone who will do justice to the role, apprieciates the history of the character and not try to turn it into something less than what WW deserves.

Not that WW requires that strong acting anyways.

But shes got the looks part covered, moreso than any other candidate.

Yesss!

I hope WB are listening, coz this is the right look and persona for the part. So even if they don't cast her, they should get someone similar.

But actingwise, I've only seen her in that episode of Supernatural and to be honest she was pretty good in it. She didn't have much of a job to do, besides have chemistry with Jared Paladecki (or whatever his name is), and she pretty much did that perfectly.

Also, I've pretty much seen most of the episodes of that show and I gotta say of all the "almost girlfriends" that have been on the show, I remembered her the most. And that's not just because of her looks, because all the actresses cast in that show are very attractive, so she was pretty much on a level playing field as far as the looks were concerned.

Plus, she's over 5'8" and not even 23 yet, so she's pretty much the best out of all the candidates discussed so far.

So once again :up: :up: for Taylor!

[Crazymaverick]

Wow :wow: .

Wow indeed.

And to top it all (and my personal favourite), apart from the fact that she's just stunningly beautiful, she has that "good girl" quality to her.

IMO you can't cast WW without it.

Superman - Acting strong enough to play 2 distinct characters completely different and still make it believeable (something Routh pulled off thanks to Singer that the previous Supermen didnt).

Batman - Acting strong enough to play a dark, twisted, tortured soul.


Wonder Woman - She just needs to kick ass and fall in love with Steve. A medicore actress can be groomed to pull it off if she has looks like Taylor Cole.


Wonder Woman requires alot less than Superman/Clark and Batman/Bruce.

But it requires MORE in the visual department for sure.

Over at the imdb and the DC Comics message boards a lot of people say they want a Lynda Carter-lookalike. All I want is (like you said) someone who will do justice to the role, a very good actor that looks like the character.

I absolutely disagree with you! Wonder Woman requires a very strong actress. She has to play wisdom beyond her years, but innocent at the same time, she has to be warm and charming but still a formidable warrior, the woman will have to play a regal princess and at the same time be very likable and she has to make us believe that she has a passion for what she is saying and fighting for. All that, and she has to be almost otherworldly beautiful. The character requires just as much acting ability (or more) than Superman and Batman.

:ww:

Being beautiful, innocent etc has more to do with her outward appearance than her acting ability.

Those are all minor things compared to what it takes to play the complexity of Batman or to make the ridiculousness of the Clark/Superman disguise believeable.

Supes/Bats are levels above WW in that respect.

Lynda Carter did all those things you said above for me and she was a average actress.

She had one thing in abundance though, and that was her unique beauty (which made the character work also).

Playing wisdom and innocent at the same time is not easy and if they go with the classic version of the character she well have to play both Diana Prince and Wonder Woman two completely different characters and still make it believable. And any Wonder Woman fan will tell you that she is a very complex woman on many levels. Saying "Wonder Woman just needs to kick ass and fall in love with Steve" is just sexist and offensive to the character and to all women.

Lynda Carter had the beauty, she was warm and charming, innocent, regal and likable, but she was not a formidable warrior and she didn't have the wisdom beyond her years. Carter was very green as an actor and it was crystal clear.

I hope to see a more unique and exotic woman like Morena play the role, Taylor Cole is a beautiful woman, but for me she's a bit too California cookie cutter beautiful.

No sir. If I wanted to be sexist; I would say she can't kick ass because shes a woman etc

Clearly I didnt. Wonder Woman is nowhere as complex as Supes and Batman and the Diana Prince identity would be pretty pointless for an origin story.

Lynda Carter had the beauty, she was warm and charming, innocent, regal and likable, but she was not a formidable warrior and she didn't have the wisdom beyond her years. Carter was very green as an actor and it was crystal clear...

She was good enough. Wonder Woman isnt big barda either. She doesnt have to be built like Chyna.

Not to mention stunt actors would be taking care of most of the fighting anyways. If a youthful Lynda was in this picture, that would be the case.

I hope to see a more unique and exotic woman like Morena play the role, Taylor Cole is a beautiful woman, but for me she's a bit too California cookie cutter beautiful..

I like Morena too for the role. I think Taylor as exotic eyes and can look mediteranian given the right makeup.

Regardless, both of them look like little twigs that even Jimmy Olsen could kill. Lynda Carter looked more 'formidable' than them..........

But I'm not holding that against them, because Wonder Woman doesnt have to look like a fighter. Her beauty and innocence is more important.

[Crazymaverick]

Now, now children. Let's not fight.

Besides, who is to say that the character won't be given more depth/gravitas in the movie version?

Maybe the movie version will have more layers to her than both Superman and Batman combined.

Lynda was good enough for the TV show, but I hope that the character is more powerful in the new film and perhaps Lynda would have looked more like a warrior if they made her more powerful and had better fights in the show. Warrior women don't need to look like Chyna some can be slender like Lynda Carter and Morena Baccarin, Diana's powers do come from the Gods so she doesn't need to be super muscular and I hope that in the film she's not.

I dont know about that. I still dont see them using Diana Prince ever. It's kinda unnecessary. The modern adaptions have proved her character doesnt need it. Glasses as a disguise is a ripoff of Clark/Supes too.

As far as their physiques, I agree. I hope they arent muscular. In fact, Taylor's current physique is even acceptable to me. Comic proportions are exaggerated.

A woman with a body like the comic version would be beyond fugly, therefore I agree the slender sexy feminine look works.

Superman was Christopher Reeve.

Routh just looked like a young thin executive from the eighties wearing Mardi Gras regalia.

They should have given an Alex Ross' look to the character, to differentiate him from Reeve's depiction and stress his physical superhuman strenght. Routh was an error.

Bale, on the other hand, is a great actor and is the best Batman so far. Nolan's ovie still had the brilliant Gary Oldman, who had few scenes, but nailed Gordon. Etc.

Well, regarding WW, if they go with that dreadful script including Steve Trevor, you're right: it is enough to have the looks.

BUT if they want to make it right, and give WW what she has become with the years, they'll need a good actress. She'll need to be more than human in every sense, a total reinvention (I mean, apart from her classic visuals, that MUST be there, of course).

How to make it? Nobody knows yet. But I would suggest the inner conflicts that were shown in Kingdom Come. This is a way to make Wonder Woman's myth relevant for our days. The limits of justice, the difficulty to understand this our relapse and violent human race, and so on.

Although I have long been a supporter of Morena Baccarin as Wonder Woman, Eva may just honestly be an overall superior choice for the title role. As she is beautiful, she also has a certain kind of sweet quality that Wonder Woman should by all means evoke (much like Morena), however she also strikes me as a woman who wouldnt have a problem taking care of herself, or "making the Axis fold" so-to-speak.

So yeah, she definately gets my vote.

Personally, I think Brandon Routh was wonderful as Superman. And by the way, Christopher Reeve was no bigger and had no more muscle than Brandon Routh.

http://www.patfullerton.com/superman/pix/christopherreeve/christreevesup6.jpghttp://fratelliditalia.altervista.org/_altervista_ht/superman_returns.JPG

[Crazymaverick]

I think Chris got bigger as the production progressed, but all in all I think they were evenly matched.

[Justice Bringer]

Lets not go through this again, watch the SR DVD 2nd Disk, Routh was ripped. Routh had more of a toned muscular build but Reeve had more straight up fatty mass.

They say on there Rouths suit will constrain his physique as well.

Regardless, they both started out really skinny and made good progress.

Hopefully Routh will reach where Reeve got in Superman III someday.

[Crazymaverick]

In actuality Routh was in better shape. (Did anyone see that bit of him working out on the behind the scenes video in SR disc 2?)

I was just trying to be respectful of Reeve.

[Mercurius]

Considering pics you may even be right, but when you watch the movies, Donner's is pure myth, and Synger's is a pale exercise of a dedicated fan with millions of dollars to spend. It won't last.

And I'm a fan of his X-Men.

[Crazymaverick]

Sure. Whatever.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand:

Whom would you pick out of these actresses?

Taylor Cole:

Anne Hathaway.... arg, NO

I also dont like Eva for WW, I find her very ugly lol

[Crazymaverick]

^Out of those 4, Taylor Cole.
Megan Fox isn't anything special.
Jessica Biel is mannish for me.
Anne Hathaway doesn't have that 'umph' for Wonder Woman imo.

Man after my own heart. In fact I think this warrants another picture.

Here ya go pal:

That's it pal. You nailed it!

I think she even looks like Lynda Carter in that picture.

[Crazymaverick]

:woot:

While I wouldn't go so far as to call Eva ugly, I think she's wrong for this part.

Taylor Cole is the hotness.

[Crazymaverick]

That she is.

And physically right for this part too.

[dpm07]

Taylor Cole, definitely. She is the human embodyment of the character known as Wonder Woman.

It is so precise that I don't even have a word for it. :ww:

That works for me. She's got the looks, the acting, the presence, and she's got my vote.

[RagingTempest]

:o Lucy Lawless!!

[DrayvensCrow]

Routh was certainly pumped up for SR and the costume/muscle suit did keep him from showing it more prominantly. He was certainly bigger than Bale and not nearly as smooth. And before anyone says it, I'm talking about the scenes when Bruce is in training w/Ra's; he certainly looked better after having returned to Gotham but still is smaller than Routh. Chris bulked up for the Franchise and hit his best on SupesIII but the training for that role was different than what Routh and Bale went through. Had he been doing the Franchise in Present Day, Chris would most definitely have been as big as Routh. Yes, the comic versions of chartacters do tend to be exaggerated but there does have to be a degree of believability to the actor's physique as well. If you put Sarah Michelle Gellar and Lisa Marie Varon next to each other and have them do an action sequence, who are you going to say looks more beliveable???? The more muscular and athletic of the two, which in this case is Lisa. I'm not saying that she must be ripped and eat small foriegn cars for lunch either!

Sappho, I went and looked at the two forums and, yes, it does look like alot want a Lynda Carter-lookalike but I do believe that, given the right actress they'd be willing to go for a more believable look, physique wise.

Sorry, without seeing any of the actresses in a Diana-like scene, I respectfully withhold my vote....except for saying I just can't see Anne Hatheway as Diana. And I still see something special in Monica Dean....don't ask me what "it" is but "it" is the same thing that I see in Catherine Bell and Monica Bellucci.

[The Shredder]

And I still see something special in Monica Dean....

Gotta agree with you there. :up:

[Fused]

Meh. Someone cute you might see at a frat party. Not really Wonder Woman, imo.

[DrayvensCrow]

Ouch! 5'6" doesn't help at all!

Next contender.....

[Justice Bringer]

Most of these actresses are around 5'7. Not a major difference, espeically with the heeled boots.

[Steelsheen]

but you must remember that WW is an Amazon, means that she's taller than the average "tall" chick. and you cant find any big boned actress either, she has to be drop dead gorgous and gracefull but can hand you your arse when called for.

as someone mentioned, its difficult to cast WW, about 95% of the actresses sugggested in this thread just wont cut it.

[Justice Bringer]

Still, with the shoes on, I dont want WW taller than 5'9, 5'10 at the most.

[dpm07]

Still, with the shoes on, I dont want WW taller than 5'9, 5'10 at the most.

I'm not intimidated by a taller woman, so if she's 5'9, 2'10 or 6'1 with heels, it won't bother me. I'm 6' myself and male.

I suggest either someone who's 5'7 - 5'11 flat-footed, and then with the boots on, it adds a couple of inches.

[Steelsheen]

Still, with the shoes on, I dont want WW taller than 5'9, 5'10 at the most.

then you dont want WW. you want a chick who looks hot in a WW costume.

big difference.

maybe you should just settle for Donna Troy. she's 5'9 and a looks like Diana but is a notch lower in everything else.

[Justice Bringer]

I'm not intimidated by any women.

Generally most, if not all, of the top choices for WW are 5'7/5'8 but I dont want her anywhere near the 6 foot range for some consistency (in case its a JL film she appears in).

I dont want her taller than Bale, that'd be dumb. If someone like Taylor Cole is chosen, she would still look great with heels at about 5'9. I dont think the heels on her boots should be larger than an inch or it would look too akward. But yes, noticeably shorter than Bale hopefully

Not at all. Comic proportions arent necessary for the film adaptions.

If you have someone has perfect as Taylor Cole (whos 5'8 at the most), it would be stupid to deny it because of that.

Let's face it, none of the actresses suggested that can do this role justice are near the height WW is in the comics.

Do you want someone taller?

wait a minute, your words were:

in that statement you're imposing your preferrence for WW, hence my response that the true WW is taller than that.

of course i know that comic proportions doesnt necessarily carry over IRL but RL at least try to get close to that. can you imagine a Superman played by an actor who's only 5'10 with the rest of his enemies/ love interest cast near his height or taller than him? you lose some of the aspect that makes Superman intimidating or aweinspiring (depending on who you are as you look up to him). the same goes with WW. btw i know that Pre-Crisis stories has WW wearing heels but most of her current renditions has her in boots w/o heels, the reason for which are: 1.) she doesnt need it because she's tall enough to stand head and shoulders with Batman and Superman and 2.) its more comfortable for her to walk/ run/ fight w/o the heels. ask any woman this and they will attest to that.


Let's face it, none of the actresses suggested that can do this role justice are near the height WW is in the comics.
none of the actresses suggested in this thread so far. maybe at one point in her younger days Geena Davis may have had a shot. btw there are tons of model-actresses who are 6 ft tall at the very least. the trick is to find someone that can act as good as she looks.

Dude. No need to be so argumentitive over something so trivial. Supermans a totally different story (after Reeve made such an impact as Supes, the only option was someone like Routh of a similiar physical mold) but I can accept a Wonder Woman in the 5'7-9 range. Even Lynda Carter admits she was only 5'8 during the show (Celebheights.com).

With the image of Wonder Woman still very undefined in the general puplic eye, a few inches wont make a difference.

[Steelsheen]

Dude. No need to be so argumentitive over something so trivial. Supermans a totally different story (after Reeve made such an impact as Supes, the only option was someone like Routh of a similiar physical mold)

some would say that Routh is a step down (i'm not gonna go there, that argument is for a different forum), but for the first chance to get WW onto the big screen (her own movie or w/ the JL) we should do it right, and one of it will be height. we got a winner with Lynda Carter, and definitely her look would influence the casting for whoever will be the new actress, but we could try to improve the height part. maybe instead of 5'9 being the maximum, why not make it the minimum? i'm not saying that actresses shorter than this cant be considered, but they ought to be bringing something else to the table that would overwhelmingly qualify them in spite of their height.

Geena Davis...ew yuck.
you obviously didnt see The Long Kiss Goodnight.
i remember Geena Davis since the days of Beetlejuice, she could've been a contender at least.

[Justice Bringer]

If thats the case, I'm surprised he got such high overwhelming support on your poll, espeically on SHH...

Thats stupid though. You make 5'9 the minimum and you exclude chicks like Taylor Cole who could be as awesome as Lynda in the role.

Height is relative anyways. If shes fighting a female villian, the villian actress could be of equal height and it wouldnt make a major difference.

Thats stupid though. You make 5'9 the minimum and you exclude chicks like Taylor Cole who could be as awesome as Lynda in the role.
not if Taylor has something more to bring to the table other than her looks. if she does have that "special something" she will have a fighting chance to qualify for the role. take Christian Bale for instance, he was once considered to be a little too old to seriously qualify for Batman, some even take his accent and upbringing against him. but he had that special something that won the approval of Nolan and the producers despite it all. and guess what, he's the best Batman thus far. again it just proves that there has to be something more than just the physical to qualify to play a very recognizable superhero. being brunette with a pretty face, a hot bod and decent height doesnt make you WW automatically.

and as for Geena Davis, all i said is that she could be a contender, she isnt my ideal WW either but it just proves that there are actresses out there that are 6 ft tall, are pretty and can act. the clincher is to find one thats under 30.

[Justice Bringer]

Name one...... in today's Hollywood, who could play WW.

I think we've exhausted practically all the worthwhile contenders in this thread of the known and semi-unknown (like Routh) variety. All thats left is someone no one has ever heard of......who will need somehow be able to act.

I dont think the studio was specificially going after 6 foot tall actresses either, so I'm not taking height into such important account.

[DrayvensCrow]

OK, can we then narrow our choices to actresses at a minimum height of 5'8"-5'8 1/2"? The boots, for action purposes will have to be more along the lines of what they've been doing in the movies lately(more of a athletic shoe-type sole)thereby allowing for lifts and naturally giving the actress an extra 1/2"-1" in height not including lifts....For taller actresses they can go to more of a regular boot sole. Remember that Bale's boots in BB made him about 6'1 1/2"-6'2"....

I already mentioned 5'7-5'11 as a minimum height choice. If an actress is amazingly good at 5'6, then consider her, but I wouldn't go shorter than that. 5'7 gives us a lot of quality actresses who could conceivably perform the role properly. Plus at the minimum height I listed, add an additional 2-3 inches from the boots. This would make things work.

pretty much the only time i would consider an actress 5'8 and below is if she's of an Angelina Jolie (or better) calibre. i was saying this in another thread somewhere, that an actress for WW has to be bringing to the table more than just the physicality. it would justify why she falls a little short of the other requirements.

She looks pretty thick to me. She's the right age, but she'd have to tone up and lose some weight. How tall is she?

I think Taylor Cole is still our best option, now it's just a matter of convincing WB and getting a director and writing team to agree.

[SufferingSappho]

I'm starting to really like Cobie Smulders as a possibly Diana. She quite good on the show "How I Met Your Mother" and she's 5' 9" and really beautiful. So far, after Morena Baccarin Cobie is my favorite.

Lucy just looks healthy to me (she's 5'6 BTW). And what I mean by "healthy", is like that of Lynda Carter's physique during the time she played WW. I'm sure if she trained for the role in prep, she would be more to your liking. Personally, I really don't know much about her acting ability, so I'll just say that based on looks, I like Lucy very much. As far as Taylor Cole ... she's just a little too basic hollywood beautiful for me to really see any appeal with her. But we all have our favourites I suppose.

You had me right until you said that: She'll be in platforms doing that! Got to stay away from those or you'll soon have her in Thigh highs. 1-1/2" is the most you should go for with lifts, maybe 2"....Remember, she should be close to Bale's height barefooted. I'll reeeeaaaaly have to be impressed to consider anyone shorter.

I'd be willing to support Cobie for Harley Quinn as well because of her comedic talents. Especially after seeing her fake pop star video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3bmfD43s-k) from that HIMYM episode.

[Antonello Blueberry]

http://www.filmick.co.uk/2007/03/wonder-woman-cast.html

There's no script, there's not even any (known) screenwriter, but has Joel Silver's Wonder Woman already been cast?

Cobie Smulders - pictured above, in case you're one of the many who don't yet know who she is - was apparently Joss Whedon's top choice to play the Amazon godess and, according to somebody who seems to think they know about these things and saw fit to e-mail me, she was allegedly one of the few Whedon ideas that Silver liked. As such, he's trying to move the project forward with her still in the frame.

It sounds like whoever gets to draft the next version of the screenplay gets that tiny piece of Whedon legacy but will be 'encouraged' to head in different directions otherwise. Tough job.

I thought I'd share this tip-off with you even though, for what it's worth, I can't see any Wonder Woman film going into production any time soon, with Smulders or not.

I think this is how the costume should look like:

Catherine Zeta Jones As WW (i didnt do this found it on yahoo)

http://crispy22.homestead.com/files/comic_fake-wonderwoman_zetajones.jpg

[FVD]

Admittedly should would have made a perfect WW years ago. Sadly she's a bit too old now. Need to cast younger. There are younger Catherine Zeta-Joneses out there.

Silver call out a Catherine Zeta-Jones lookalike contest and pick your winner. And make sure she can act. :D

[Justice Bringer]

I'd rather they get a young Lynda Carter lookalike :p

*cough* Taylor Cole

[The Shredder]

Sorry, but right now for my money it's Monica Dean for WW

I'm beginning to like Monica Dean for WW more and more here lately as well. Morena Baccarin has been my 2nd choice for WW for quite some time now, but I have to say I certainly am liking the idea of Monica as Wonder Woman. :up:

Infact, I think I'm gonna do a quick modification of my sig right now. :ninja:

[coregames]

Jennifer Connely if she were 10 years younger.. but today, I think Evangeline Lilly would be a great choice.http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/MMPH/264381~Evangeline-Lilly-Posters.jpghttp://entimg.msn.com/i/150/Movies/Actors/Lily_150x200.jpghttp://www.lostlounge.tv/images/evangeline_lilly_katebeach.jpg

[FVD]

...actually I wouldn't mind Lilly playing Diana as well. But I'm sure she'll turn it down as she's fully fixed on Lost. Which was why she apparently turned down Lois Lane as well.

Somebody do a manip of that first photo posted. :D

[dpm07]

...actually I wouldn't mind Lilly playing Diana as well. But I'm sure she'll turn it down as she's fully fixed on Lost. Which was why she apparently turned down Lois Lane as well.

Being only 5'5 doesn't help Evangeline's cause to being WW either. If you're going to go the 5'5 route, then have Emmanuelle Vaugier be WW.

5'6 is as low as a person wants to go, and probably around 5'7 or 5'8 is where you'll find the majority of actresses that are possible for the part.

[Antonello Blueberry]

I like her a lot in Lost, but she's a bit short to be an Amazon. She'd be a nice Catwoman.

[Justice Bringer]

Noo to Emmanuelle, she doesnt resemble WW:

She sucked actingwise on Smallville too

[Rac]

I'm not rooting Lucy Lawless for WW, but for those who said she's too old and doesn't look pretty anymore, I'll say look at these pics:

I was watching the movie Good Advice today and for some reason, Angie Harmon struck me as Wonder Woman.

Angie Harmon is practically 35 years old, and while she's a decent actress on L&O, she doesn't have the star appeal to bring people to the theatres. She really hasn't done anything of merit at the box office. I really can't see WB/DC financing a film with her as Wonder Woman.

She's very attractive, but if you think she's Wonder Woman, well...you may want to revise that opinion of yours.

I'd like to see more:cwink:

[Nivek]

Nadia Borjin is starting to headline alot of the Promo's for Redline. You gotta admit, she has those Alex ross-style blue eyes. And the body to show off the costume.

I didn't say she is Wonder Woman, I said she struck me as Wonder Woman. She kind of reminds me of the JLU Wonder Woman, that's why I brought her up.

[Johnny DC]

Anyone nominate Eva Green yet?

[fu manchu]

In this special Wonder Woman Edition of Krypton Fan, Morena Baccarin, a rumored leading consideration for the role of Wonder Woman when Joss Whedon led the project, talks about......... the potential of playing the Amazon Princess!

http://www.pluggd.com/episode/show/krypton_fan_episode71_justice_league_firefly_moren a_baccarin


She talks about playing Wonder Woman about 7:45 into this guy's audio blog about Wonder Woman.

I wouldn't have a problem if she got the role. I could see it happening. I'm sure people will be watching to see how Redline performs. I have to admit, the film itself does nothing for me. I'm really not into the whole "car film" thing. Still, I may check it out just to check her out.

[Steelsheen]

i dunno dude, theres something about her that strikes me as creepy. WW shouldnt be creepy. i could see her playing a villain though.

[Marcus M.]

I would like to see a movie about Nadia Borjin's breast.

[dpm07]

I would like to see a movie about Nadia Borjin's breast.

I would like to be in a movie about Nadia Bjorlin's breasts, legs, and anything else.

[superhero_mania]

I am soo upset when i heard the news....
Eva longaria is one of the definites for the movie but no one is sure yet!

[supaspic]

i dunno dude, theres something about her that strikes me as creepy. WW shouldnt be creepy. i could see her playing a villain though.

Who's creepy? Nadia Borjin? I don't know, it seems to me (and I only really have DCAU WW knowledge and little comic) but shouldn't WW seems somewhat intimidating? I don't think Nadia looks creepy, but she could definitely pull off the whole, "Amazon coming from a world where men are forbidden and is trained to fight like no other" kind of appearance. This is redundant to WW fans, but I'll say it anyways, WW should be a strikingly beautiful woman, whom at the same time is a dangerous highly trained warrior ... ahem princess ... right?

[kansas boy]

Here's Nadia as Wonder Woman so you can see what she would look like.

Bjorlin is way too fake for Wonder Woman.

[blksuperman2]

LOL, I said the same thing a few pages back. She's got some gorgeous eyes but they're so piercing that she looks creepy to me.:o

[dpm07]

I like Eva Longoria, but at 5'2 she's a horrible choice for Wonder Woman. The woman is also well over 30. She's 32. Age aside though, 5'2 isn't going to cut it for any kind of Wonder Woman.

[Eddie Dean]

What's wrong with being in your early 30s?

[Steelsheen]

^^ we dont have a problem with early 30s. Hollywood does.

[kansas boy]

Somebody mentioned this woman, Priyanka Chopra, so I did a not so good manip just to see what she would look like.

[Diamondhead]

Nelly Fertado perhaps!
But I think she's a little too old!

Fergie!...same thing!
But I wouldn't mind seeing her as lady death! Either her or Beyonce Knowles!

I happen to know this 19 year old girl who'd be perfect!
But her boyfriend just got her pregnant!

Best thing to do!
Get Linda carter back as an aging wonder woman worrying about spending the rest of her life without having kids and she’s looking for a man to settle down

She finally end up with the incredible Hulk
LOL

[Diamondhead]

She ends up with the incredible hulk because now she's all old and wrinkly
No other superhero in their right mind would settle down with her!
Bwah ah ah !

[terry78]

People with blue eyes scare me. And not just because I think they're going to lynch me. :csad: A dude I work with has very bright blue eyes, and he always looks like he's just staring into your soul, even when he's just casually talking.

[jrpstarwars]

I nominate Carmen EleKtra, in this outfit.:woot:

[zeptron]

Bjorlin's a pretty good actress. I liked her character on Days Of Our Lives. I'm probably the only here who watches that.

[superhero_mania]

They did the auditions for the wonder woman movie! (since it is out next year)

These people are considered:

Sandra bullock

Catherine zeta-jones

Eva longoria

Lindsay Lohan (wonder girl)

Jennifer Connelly (troia)

We'll see how Nadja does in that Redline movie this weekend(is there even a theatre distributiing it?) The way she looks in that, she could pass for WW, as she's not as chunky in the face as she was.

[Fused]

after seeing the redline trailers id at least give nadia a screentest.

[phoenixflight]

Hey, mentioned over at bluetights.net was Odette Yustman from 'October Road'...what do you guys think about her??

Born May 10, 1985
Is she 5' 10"??

Can anyone or site confirm how talk she is (or someone's best guess based on her standing next to any of her co-stars in 'October Road'?
