Official Wonder Woman Casting Suggestions [merged-13]

[batboy99]

i like her, she just wasnt given the right material IMO

[Sharkfestation]

I bought the sunday paper today and looked at the TV guide. This person caught my eye, so I looked her up on the internet. Her name is Jolene Anderson.

Anderson is an actress recently cast in the role of a nurse in the Australian medical drama "All Saints". Apparently this is her first major acting role.

As far as I know she was born in 1980, is a trained dancer, studied at the Actors Centre Australia, is physically active and is into swimming.

I have heard that she was on the show "It Takes Two" on Channel 7, apparently besting all the other celebrities. I didn't watch the show until today, albeit on the YouTube.

There are video clips of her singing in "It Takes Two" on YouTube, if anyone wants to look.

There was a recent photoshoot that involved the entire "All Saints" cast. From the look of it I am guessing she is about 5'9" ish, as I'm using another cast member in that particular pic, Alexandra Davies, as a reference point. Davies is 5'9". Someone with the knowledge can clarify that detail if they can, because I can't find a single reference to her height at all. If she's below this height then I'll be crushed:(

Now I'm not in the habit of suggesting anyone, but I thought I'd throw in a new name in the works.

.....Anything than seeing names like Megan Fox or Monica Belluci or Taylor Cole or Rose McGowan getting churned up constantly to no end.
She looks a lot like Alex Ross' Wonder Woman.

Megan Gale. She is WW. These are fine women, but too common beautiful girls.

Sorry about the double posting.

[Nighthawk_Fan]

Jennifer Connelly

Yeah, she is Wonder Woman in my book. She's super hot, too!:woot:

[Denny67]

i like her, she just wasnt given the right material IMO

I am of the same mind. The writers on that show are not great and neither is the production effort down to the director and editing.

[batboy99]

i thought the editing was pretty good, but the show just wasnt given enough time to prove itself yet

[Magneto]

I Thought so to

[Spider-Mania2]

Is it true Megan has now been given the role officially?

My local rag says so.

Say it aint so. She is hot and all, but wonder woman she aint.

[Magneto]

why?

[The Shredder]

Connelly would have been perfect.

Dean would have been great.

But atleast we have a WW with a mature look about her. And that's good enough for me. :up:

[Jake Cassidy]

Connelly would have been perfect.

Dean would have been great.

Did Ya Hear The News? Megan Gale Is Gonna Be Wonder Woman! FOR SURE!
From what credible source?
If it's IESB, AICN or BOF, it's not credible.

[superhero_mania]

Not It's Not.
It's Wikipedia, The News Of The World, IMDB.

[Majik1387]

Not It's Not.

Wiki and IMDB aren't credible sources either seeing as how anyone can edit any kind of info they' like onto the site. I've never heard of The News of the World. Link?

What for? A toothbrush ad? :woot:

WW deserves something better than that.

[Sharkfestation]

I just want to see who would she look in the Wonder Woman costume.

[Last Gunfighter]

What for? A toothbrush ad? :woot:

WW deserves something better than that.

Like......who?

[Majik1387]

Apparently some model who has no real credits to her name

[Mercurius]

Apparently some model who has no real credits to her name

Yes, Majik: Megan Gale. :oldrazz:

And if she gets the part, you'll regret all the fuzz you've spread around here deriding her. You can quote me on that. :hyper:

But obviously I like a bunch of other names, like Jeniffer Connelly, Taylor Cole, Monica Dean, Monica Bellucci, etc. And even Megan Fox could probably work in a teen JL version. :woot:

[Laderlappen]

[Majik1387]

I guess you can say she's perfect when referring to the body, but that's it.

[dark_b]

aha a pornstar
again a 13 old boy who found out porn on hte internet

[Crook]

Just because she's in provocative clothing, doesn't mean she's a porn star.

She probably doesn't have the acting skills for the role, but damn does she have the overall look down to a T.

I wouldn't mind seeing her in a WW costume, in various poses. :o

[Philly Phanboy]

LOL I remember bladedthesis doing a manip with Upton as WW a long time ago.

[terry78]

Either they can't act for **** but they look like her, or they are great actresses but don't like a thing like her.

[MegaVixen]

Vanessa has never done porn and she can act.

She has had a big role in Londons burning,
Dr Pepper advert,
Denis Potter play,
X Fire on channel 4 as a baddy,
The Office,
& loads more........

I wouldn't have just come up with a model who couldn't act as my suggestion for the part of WW.

Ha ha, Crook you make me chuckle. :yay:

xXx

[MegaVixen]

Oh she also played Scarlet Witch for Marvel in a commercial.
She's also currently Sarah from Tales of Midnight for the comic book 'Beyond Starlight'

:oldrazz:

[fu manchu]

I would prefer Gale over Upton by looks alone. I'm unfamiliar with both, acting wise.

[Majik1387]

I'd take the porn star looking one over Gale.

[Red Mask]

Did Joss Whedon really say the WW project is dead?

http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=1&id=47730

Shouldn't that come from the mouths of Joel Silver and his bosses?

[spark627]

he said HIS WW project is dead. we have known this for a while. they did not like what he was doing with it.

[batboy99]

What was he doing with it? does anyone know?

[spark627]

he mentioned that she would be younger (he loves his young girls), the outfit would be gone and that she wouldn't fly but hop instead... yea.

[Red Mask]

Hopping? Yeesh.

[spark627]

well, lynda hopped in the series but thats most likely bc they couldnt afford to make her fly. i have no idea why he thought that was a good idea for a new movie.

[batboy99]

Her being younger i wouldnt mind(she is immortal after all) but hopping? no costume??

[Antonello Blueberry]

No costume? Strange as both Adam Hughes and Brian Hitch did a redesign of the costume for the movie.

[batboy99]

are there pics of that anywhere?

[spark627]

yea, i liked to see the design as well. on his blog, joss said the outfit would be different and def no star spangeled undies.

[Philly Phanboy]

he mentioned that she would be younger (he loves his young girls), the outfit would be gone and that she wouldn't fly but hop instead... yea.

SPOON! :hyper:


:csad:

[Buttman]

yea, i liked to see the design as well. on his blog, joss said the outfit would be different and def no star spangeled undies.
I think you misunderstood him, and by that she wouldn't be in the undies but would probably be in some sort of armoured skirt like that design that gets passed around here all the time. Wheldon is a huge nerd, she would've been in her costume. And by hop he would've probably meant in the same way Hulk did in the Ang Lee film. He's just kidding.

[batboy99]

I could live without the star spangeled undies, i prefer her in a battle skirt actually.

[Jake Cassidy]

She'd be wearing the panties under the skirt anyway. Unfortunately.

[batboy99]

Damn :(

[Red Mask]

For all you Taylor Cole supporters: she's in a remake of April Fool's Day. It's straight to DVD!

Taylor looks SEXY with the shorter hair!

New theme song:
"Nuh nuh, nuh nuh, nuh nuh, Pornderwoman!"

Wow on the body
Ick on the imagery

[The Shredder]

Either they can't act for **** but they look like her, or they are great actresses but don't like a thing like her.
That certainly seems to be a problem. With of course some exceptions who either will never bother to audition (considering they get word), and/or just possibly isnt interested.

[Jake Cassidy]

Taylor looks SEXY with the shorter hair!

When does she not look sexy? :woot:

[regwec]

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/vamp_girl05/vanessa/LOADEDCALENDAR2.jpg

That would actually be her costume, if the film was directed by Frank Miller.

[DMBUDDF]

Megan Fox should be WW!

[regwec]

You kid?

[Jake Cassidy]

^ Yeah, her or Taylor or MEW. :woot:

[Eddie Dean]

I could definitely see her as Wonder Woman. :up:

[batdude]

Yustman could be a good choice. not sure about the height.

[Nighthawk_Fan]

No she shouldn't. At all.

Hhowever, after seeing Cloverfield, Odette Yustman was like a prettier, cleaner, and more talented Megan Fox. And I do think she's too young, but if that's the direction WB will continue to go for, I can live with her as WW.

Let's see, Machinist shot in 2003, released early 2004; Batman started shooting in March 2004. So basically yes, he did that in 6 months.

My point is, it couldn't be too hard for Miss "beanpole" to get some Amazon meat on those pretty bones in a timely manner

its not. Just watch, when he's older, somethings gonna be wrong with his body

[Super_Ludacris]

I see what you ean. But I wasn't really suggesting her, I was saying if that when people stupidly suggest Megan Fox, think of Odette instead seeing as how she's a better choice based on looks and talent.

She hardly had thespian gravitas in Cloverfield, **** outta here :woot: . At this point Meagan is a better actress than her by default :woot:

However, I will say her physique doesnt matter as Jorda alluded to Bale's turnaround.

Looks sure, but talent aint really an issue with a good director and script driving her.

bull****. you can have a GREAT director on board and still have a ****ty cast

[Jake Cassidy]

That's bull**** and you know it. :whatever:
Fox has been given more chances in the spotlight and her performance still showed that she screwed the director and producers.

Another piece of bull****. It is not the director's job to get the actor to act or be their acting teacher, he's there to guide the actor; The director doesn't suck if an actor is terrible. And it is not the script's job to relate to a character she can play better; The script's written by the writer's liking and edited by the powers that be, and actors are not part of those powers. It is the Actor's job to do their job and bring the character to life on their own, based on what's written in the script AND by following the director's vision for the movie.


Screwed the director and producers? That's rude and inappropriate. Who the hell do you think you are?

[Super_Ludacris]

Screwed the director and producers? That's rude and inappropriate. Who the hell do you think you are?

Majik and Batboy for some bizarre reason, hate her. I mean she isnt a great actress, sure but I dont see nothing TOO wrong with her. Certainly not to act so offended by any suggestion of her inclusion in a DC film.

Having said that, for that reason alone I kinda hope she does get cast in a headline role in any DC franchise film and would love it if that film does Transformers numbers. Just for comedic and entertainment purposes on this message board.


And I still stick to the notion that if you have a strong director and strong writer who can put together a strong setting and good story, you dont have to worry about the actor. We've seen it in the past with bad actors doing great in roles. Plus I think it forces them to really step it up. And Director and Writer are like the coach and GM of a team that drive the talent. And what exactly are those "countless" chances Meagan has had of proving herself. All she's done is like Transformers and a couple seasons of Hope and Faith. You make it sound like she's Jessica Alba. Now thats a different story.

[Jake Cassidy]

I don't care who they're talking about. They shouldn't say that about anyone. They just come across as immature, disrespectful jerks.

[batboy99]

I dont hate her, i love Fox, shes ****ing HOT!!!!! But shes a horrible choice for any comic book role, or any role for that matter. And yes, shes a bad actress, she should have become a model or something.If she was a good actress and she was olde,r i wouldnt be suggesting her for Catwoman or someone,she would be a good choice for WW, she looks like her, but its unfortunate that shes such a crap actressMajik and Batboy for some bizarre reason, hate her. I mean she isnt a great actress, sure but I dont see nothing TOO wrong with her. Certainly not to act so offended by any suggestion of her inclusion in a DC film.

[Super_Ludacris]

See I wouldnt say I would her pick for Catwoman or WW (Donna Troy maybe) but it wouldnt be because of her acting. Its like you can look at her work objectivley or subjectivley but keep in mind this is Hope and Faith and Micheal Bay's Transformers. And there was nothing cringely bad in both cases....just uninspired. But what do you do with those roles? Especially when the directors have a Keep it Simple mentality towards the actors compared to the effects (yeah I mean Bay).
I think if you have a good director to challenge them and get the most out of them and then a strong writer with a eye for a good plot. So you just gotta look the part. The main onus is on the composer so to speak.

[DawnWarrior]

Let's see, Machinist shot in 2003, released early 2004; Batman started shooting in March 2004. So basically yes, he did that in 6 months.

http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/3741/oy00ce2.jpg
This actually raises a good point: Of the many actresses who could play Diana, NONE of them are built for the role NOW. Any actress cast would have to go through months of physical training to build up her body to look convincingly like an Amazon princess.

[DawnWarrior]

I dont hate her, i love Fox, shes ****ing HOT!!!!! But shes a horrible choice for any comic book role, or any role for that matter. And yes, shes a bad actress, she should have become a model or something.
Duh, Fox WAS a model! According to imdb, she was modeling since she was 13.

1. men gain easier muscles then women.plus testosteron.
2. bale was already at that size in equilibrium. its called muscle memory. you get faster and easier to you previous muscle size.
3. he used something . i dont know what but he did something.
4. did i already said that he is a men? how can someoen on this world compare a guy to a chich when it comes to building muscles?

p.s. you are showing pics from the mechanist and then a pic from equilibrium! this makes zero sense.

Good manip but I'm definitely against ancient Greek style maybe a mix of today,s design and this could work. And the shoes????:huh:

[jmc]

I absolutely love it... except for the old man sandals, they look scarey.

Have you tried putting Megan's face in there?


Nope, coz I dislike the idea of Gale as Wonder Woman.

Good manip but I'm definitely against ancient Greek style maybe a mix of today,s design and this could work. And the shoes????

This is a mix of the current design and ancient Greek and the last time I checked ancient Greeks never went into battle with stiletto boots.

[jmc]

This actually raises a good point: Of the many actresses who could play Diana, NONE of them are built for the role NOW. Any actress cast would have to go through months of physical training to build up her body to look convincingly like an Amazon princess.

Very few actresses would currently have the solid build that would suit the role so at least a few months of training and bulking up would be required to stack on the necessary kgs/pounds to make them look more Amazonian.

[DieSmiling]

I love the design, JMC. I would brighten it up a little bit, change the crown and sandals, but overall it's awesome, very well done.

[ANTOINE X]

Nope, coz I dislike the idea of Gale as Wonder Woman.



This is a mix of the current design and ancient Greek and the last time I checked ancient Greeks never went into battle with stiletto boots.

But at least put the sandals the same color as the red pads cause black doesn't fit here. But again good work nothing to say about the rest. BTW what do you think about my WW? I would like to know what you have to say, I'm not afraid of critics.

Nice design. The metal work is good and the boots, the breastplate seems a little small though and there are a few shadowing issues and personally I would have added a bit more texture but overall, quite good design and faithful to the comic. :up:

Having said that though, I'm still not convinced her usually costume can work on film.

Great legs, eyes, and hair. Otherwise: NO. She's too skinny from the hips up. Costume is too skimpy and I hate the hooker boots.

New Wonder Woman artwork folks. Enjoy!

FYI, I have no idea who this woman is - these comments are all about the outfit.

Like the outfit very much. Makes her look very tough and not at all like a porn star. Like that it looks like footwear she could actually run in, unlike many of the hooker boots shown elsewhere. Like that her underwear isn't showing. Don't like that it makes her look like she has no waist. Would adjust the eagle's head a bit - as is, the beak is going to stab her when she leans over or twists.

Thanks for the comment, but I'll defend the eagle (or simply try to cover the error) by saying I was taking some artist licence with it :woot:. The WW outfit is probably one of the hardest comic outfit to adapt into film without looking ridiculous. More or less tried to capture the costumes 'spirit' and use the basic building blocks of the outfit in a believable way as best I could, I figure if the character is to be taken seriously, the outfit needs to reflect it. And the model is Cobie Smulders. ;)

I think Charisma Carpenter would be a good Wonderwoman. She has a great body for the part,its almost perfect infact along with her hair as well. Also it be nice to see her in a lead role. Cordelia was a good strong character for her but it would be nice to see her take charge as a strong amazon warrior.

I do. She's gorgeous but she's too skinny for WW.

[Super_Ludacris]

And I dont know what she's done to pass the "But can she Act?" gates that most people have.

[Mercurius]

Odette Yustman was a pretty solid actress in Cloverfield.

She has some definite WW features: thoroughly beautiful and elegant, as a goddess (we hope) may be. :grin:

And I don't think she's skinny for the role: I like the idea of her being powerful without showing it obviously in her body. Don't want a bulky WW (like the clumsy example above with that Conan Era carnival outfit). That would be quite cheap.

[Super_Ludacris]

There was really nothing in her role in Cloverfield to define, so its a bit hard to say she's WW material.

[Mercurius]

I see. You need Shakespearean theatre expertise to get confident about a name for WW, don't you? :oldrazz:

[Red Mask]

She's Cobie Smulders. Last year, Joss Whedon mentioned that he considered her for the role while he was still writing a script.

[Godzilla]

I see. You need Shakespearean theatre expertise to get confident about a name for WW, don't you? :oldrazz:
Yeah. A bit more of a resume is important to some people.

[ariellem]

A while back I mentioned Paulina Porizkova as having a good WW look.* Said I hadn't heard her mentioned in the media in a while. Well, look who popped up on Digg tonight! I'm linking to the source article:
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2008/02/27/2008-02-27_paulina_porizkova_says_being_model_perfe.html


* - Maybe a bit skinny, but she's gorgeous with a big chest (prerequisites for many here); very tall; has a sense of humor; is far from being brain-dead; has done actual acting (funny movie back before some of you were born)... Oh, and she's even prettier with less eye makeup.

[fu manchu]

So Odette is the flavor of the month for WW. she's definately hawt!

So no one thinks Odette is skinny?

Its not hard to gain weight. :oldrazz:

But Idk...somehow she doesn't look like WW to me.

There was really nothing in her role in Cloverfield to define, so its a bit hard to say she's WW material.

i agree with you there.

[Jake Cassidy]

I like Odette better for the role than skank ho Fox. She looks and acts better.
I've seen Fox cleaned up and she is pretty surprisingly, but the porn star tan with the slutty tattoos are not for WW.

Are you ever gonna grow up? Calling someone you've never met insulting names just shows how immature you really are.

[Mercurius]

Yeah. A bit more of a resume is important to some people.

Indeed.

But if she is not going to strike long monologues with varied and subtle emotions, different textures and emphatic points, nor carry dramatic strategy to a certain point in a very elaborate plot, we do have some kind of exaggeration, not to mention histerical pattern, regarding acting skills around here.

That's the way things get out of proportion.

If we start this petty thing of bimbo X Oscar winner it'll be really dumb, don't you think? And most candidates are neither one nor the other.

Guard said a very thoughtful thing, I don't know if it was in this thread or in some other on the subject, but he distinguished between "acting experience" and "acting ability".

Actors are auditioned. They're tested. If an actor got the role, people who tested him/her thought him/her fit for it.

Now we might not like them, for reasons a, b or c, but that's not the point.

And frankly, acting skills demanded for most superhero stuff are not that much.

Of course, if you're going to have Professor Xavier or Lex Luthor (or key roles in Watchmen), great actors are needed: it demands some depth.

But mostly, regular to good actors have their golden chance to do a very specific job very well. Like Christopher Reeve did. Nobody could get near his perfect depiction of Superman (and I doubt someone will ever get).

Lynda Carter wasn't, for instance, an experienced actress when called to do WW. And she was mostly a model.

It is not by mere coincidence: models have, by profession, this "out of the world" elegance, that matches with what one expects of a goddess.

So: calm down. Try to sit back and think things over. It is not necessarily a bad choice.

Soundtrack with Françoise Hardy singing: "L'amour ne dure pas toujours". :woot:

[Red Mask]

Why not Eva Green if we're talking Europeans?

[regwec]

don't see it myself. Eva's "appeal", which I have never really experienced, verges on the heroin chic. I think Diana needs to look like she is in the blossom of perfect physical health.

Jennifer Connelly

I agree, but I don't think anyone noticed you. You're like a lil kid trying to ask your mom something as she's talking to your aunts and uncles, no ones paying attention.

I agree, but I don't think anyone noticed you. You're like a lil kid trying to ask your mom something as she's talking to your aunts and uncles, no ones paying attention.
Connelly was one of the first names being mentioned for WW years ago here and everywhere else, together with Catherine Zeta Jones.
They're both a bit too mature for the part now.

[tyler-durden]

Not really they both still look pretty young, I'd bang them both.

[BobJM]

I know Monica Dean is the perfect incarnation of WW in real life, but has anyone seen her act?

She's from somewhere in Europe, so does she have a heavy accent?

These are things I need to know.

Ms. Dean is Romanian. She probably has an accent of some kind; she played an Italian on Lost, so I don't know if the accent she used on there was actually her own. Just doing a google search, and she actually looks a little like Lynda Carter:
http://xochitl.matem.unam.mx/~canek/pensadero/posts-images/2006/01/monica-dean.png

[Godzilla]

Behind Connelly, Dean is by far my ideal choice. :up:

Especially since what I've seen of her, she's actually pretty good.

[BobJM]

Godzilla, can you tell me if she's got a heavy accent?

Because right now (though I'm a huge fan of Dean of WW), a noticeable Romanian accent would be my only drawback (I can't have a Dracula-esque princess of Paradise Island)

[Godzilla]

She's got an accent, BobJM. But I would not say it's a heavy one. No.

And I agree that if she did, it would become something of a drawback. Perhaps a major one. But no. I do not recall it being a very heavy Romanian accent at all.

[BobJM]

Thanks.

If we couldn't get Monica Dean, I would say that Kathleen Robertson is my second pick.

My Choice for Wonder Woman is Paz Vega.
I think she is stunning, and has the acting chops to pull of Princess Dianna. Paz has a bit of a (spanish)accent, but I think it would really work. I have always pictured Wonder Woman as having an accent being from Paradise Island.

The Sarah Connor kind of thing, or bodybuilder or wrestler is completely mistaken, as I see it.

Goddesses must have something quite charming and unhuman, like being powerful without workout classes.

Muscles like those will only make her rude, unelegant or utterly human.

Bad bad choice. :o

What you're expressing is a double standard. Because in American comics even the weakest men have to be muscular but not the women. Even a gymnast can have muscles and still look feminine.

I'm in the process of re-evaluating my choices for WW. Cole will never happen; Biel turned it down, and MEW was passed over so I'm trying to compile a realistic list of actresses that I can see starring in the solo WW movie. I'll have my list up in an hour or so.

Ok, I know I'm going to catch some flack from some of you, but so be it. And I want to preface this post by saying that I'm not angry, upset or even annoyed. I'm only making a counterpoint.

Today's fanboys want realism in their films. They demand that everything has to be based in reality and will crucify any director who neglects that point. Superman Returns was blasted for not being more "realistic" like Batman Begins. More action was needed like in the comics. Superman needed more depth and so on.

Now concerning the ethnicity of Wonder Woman; yes, she will live on in our hearts as the (still) beautiful Linda Carter portrayed her. Even the way the comics portray her is a Caucasian woman. However, you fanboys do realize that the Amazon is a very hot, damp place right? Much of the Brazillian culture comes from the Amazon. So why would someone who stayed out in the sun, in paradise no less, be "white"?

Now, allow me to say that I also agree that Angela Basset or Halle Berry isn't the right choice, but I think that Wonder Woman should have an ethnic look to her. I think someone of mixed ethnicity would be perfect. A great example Michaela Conlin (Chinese, Irish) from "Bones" would be a great choice if she could bulk up.

Paz Vega is sterling as Wonder Woman if she could show a more brutal side (yes, Wonder Woman should be heartbreakingly beautiful and quite the brute force when she needs to be). Let's just not be hasty in discounting an actress because she's mixed with black (in Rosario's case a quarter black. Her Dawson's mother is of Puerto Rican and Afro-Cuban descent and her father is of Irish and Native American descent.

That ideology, indeed, sounds racist.

I now return you to your casting discussion. Thank you for allowing me to respond.

Ok, I know I'm going to catch some flack from some of you, but so be it. And I want to preface this post by saying that I'm not angry, upset or even annoyed. I'm only making a counterpoint.

Today's fanboys want realism in their films. They demand that everything has to be based in reality and will crucify any director who neglects that point. Superman Returns was blasted for not being more "realistic" like Batman Begins. More action was needed like in the comics. Superman needed more depth and so on.

Now concerning the ethnicity of Wonder Woman; yes, she will live on in our hearts as the (still) beautiful Linda Carter portrayed her. Even the way the comics portray her is a Caucasian woman. However, you fanboys do realize that the Amazon is a very hot, damp place right? Much of the Brazillian culture comes from the Amazon. So why would someone who stayed out in the sun, in paradise no less, be "white"?

Now, allow me to say that I also agree that Angela Basset or Halle Berry isn't the right choice, but I think that Wonder Woman should have an ethnic look to her. I think someone of mixed ethnicity would be perfect. A great example Michaela Conlin (Chinese, Irish) from "Bones" would be a great choice if she could bulk up.

Paz Vega is sterling as Wonder Woman if she could show a more brutal side (yes, Wonder Woman should be heartbreakingly beautiful and quite the brute force when she needs to be). Let's just not be hasty in discounting an actress because she's mixed with black (in Rosario's case a quarter black. Her Dawson's mother is of Puerto Rican and Afro-Cuban descent and her father is of Irish and Native American descent.

That ideology, indeed, sounds racist.

I now return you to your casting discussion. Thank you for allowing me to respond.
well, thats what they got Nubia for, shes basically the ''black WW''
And just so everyone knows, i hate this ''realisim'' crap. like,c'mon they're comic book movies, they arent really realistic to begin with
And yes, id like for WW to have some sort of Ethnic look to her, someone ''darker skinned'' like Paz Vega,salma heyek etc is what id like

[protocida]

Paz Vega is a great choice. And i see Biel as Hawkgirl.

SR was NOT blasted for not taking the BB "realistic" approach. I don't know where you got that idea from. There are plenty of things fanboys do have issues with in the film, and realism is far from making that list.

However, you fanboys do realize that the Amazon is a very hot, damp place right?You've just murdered your own argument. :funny:

Because if you were a fanboy, you'd realize that this statement:

Much of the Brazillian culture comes from the Amazon. So why would someone who stayed out in the sun, in paradise no less, be "white"? ...has NOTHING to do with Wonder Woman, Themyscira, or the DC Comics Amazons.

The Amazon race that Wonder Woman is a part of, stems from the Greco-Roman Amazons of mythology; a race of all-female warriors who lived in the city of Themyscira (Greece).

As you can see, absolutely no relation to the Amazon of South American fame.

Wonder Woman is Greek/Mediterranean, or European-white. End of story.

[jaymes_e06]

the_icon_007 Has a point but if you are thinking about evolution and realism when it comes to magic it is kind of frivalis.

[Crook]

Much of his point lies in the logic that someone from the Amazon (in South America), would likely produce a dark-skinned person.

He's right, on that tidbit alone.

BUT, he's applying that to Wonder Woman. And as I said, the 2 have absolutely no relation. Thus, he is absolutely wrong when connecting the two, and implying that WW should be played by someone other than a "white" actress.

[az824]

i want her to look ethnic too, since greeks have very ethnic looks to them

and back in the day salma hayek would have made an awesome wonder woman :)

Just for reference I wanted to point out that Trish Stratus, Maria Kanellis, and Jennifer Aniston are all of Greek descent.

and all of them have a pretty fair complexion IMO

I'm starting to think Rhoan Mitra would be a good candidate

Some Greeks have quite Eastern; many don't. And Diana is not a Greek; she belongs to a mythical culture parralel to the ancient Hellenic pantheons. She can look Mediterrainian, but she needs to keep her distinctive ice-blue eyes.

[batboy99]

I miss my Trish :(

Rhona Mitra=Witchblade(Sara Pezzini)Just for reference I wanted to point out that Trish Stratus, Maria Kanellis, and Jennifer Aniston are all of Greek descent.

She'd rock as sara :up: but can you manip her w/ blue eyes please?

[protocida]

For me, Rhona Mitra would be a cool Circe.

So who is your pick for Wonder Woman? Most likely you posted this already...

[Lobo]

If Odette is a good actress, She'd definitely be in my top 5. She has agreat look for a younger :ww: IMO

[batboy99]

I doubt it now unfortunatly

[The Techno Bat]

I just noticed that this thread was started in 2002, and here it is 2008 and still no Wonder Woman Film, that stinks =( Booooo

[jmc]

^ And to think the solo WW project has been 'in development' for sometime before that, I can still remember back in '98 reading about it online, back then Sandra Bullock's and Jennifer Lopez's names were being thrown around for the character when the project was first being mooted. I think Whedon's WW was the closest we will get to a solo film for the foreseeable future regardless of how well a JL film does, a shame he didn't continue with it coz he's good a writing female characters and generally gets good cast members, really would have like to have seen his take on WW, the interpretation, the story, the cast, the design, it would have be interesting.

I agree, Whedon would have done one hell of a job with W.W.

[spark627]

Whedon's WW would have been Buffy/Kitty Pryde in a flag costume, I really don't think it would have been good.

[Antonello Blueberry]

Are they still making this film?
Probably before the Thor movie.

[jaymes_e06]

Whedon's WW would have been Buffy/Kitty Pryde in a flag costume, I really don't think it would have been good.
I have to agree and I love Buffy and Astonishing X-Men but it wouldn't have fit with his tone of writing.

[Jake Cassidy]

I wouldn't want Whedon doing WW at all. He wanted to create his own villain. Apparently the GOD OF WAR isn't good enough for him.

[Majik1387]

Maybe he wanted to create his own villain to kill off.

[Jake Cassidy]

Maybe he wanted to create his own villain to kill off.

He said that he didn't think WW's villains were good enough. Ares, Circe and Cheetah would work great in a movie, imo.

[Majik1387]

He said that?
Chalk that up to one of his idiotic moments then.:down

I'd do Cheetah first, then Circe, then Ares, though I would have him throughout the movies.

[jmc]

Perhaps Whedon's thinking was because WW has the least well known bunch of villains of all main DC characters, creating a new villain wouldn't really phase the general public, there's bigger room for interpretation, or maybe he just felt he couldn't find the right villain within the WW history to suit the story. Personally, Ares first for me, there may be only one WW film, no sense not using such a good villain in the hope a second or third film gets made, as for a sequel, would like to see Cheetah but I'm not sure if the character is able to carry a film alone, might need to pair the character with another villain.
