Cast the new DCU

[DCDAVE]

How about a female basketball player for Wonder Woman. There has to be a “Greek” baller out there that has some acting chops. For example Candace Parker’s wife has the look of Wonder Woman. Don’t know if she can act though.

I think you'll have better chances with runway models.

Hollywood likes that runaway model look but a female basketball player/athlete will have physique that you would expect of an Amazon Demigod. Take a look at sports illustrated bathing suit issues with female basketball players and you will understand where I am coming from. Those women have the body of Wonder Woman. Although Gadot had the perfect face they had to do some weird things with the camera to make her look big.

I hope they cast an actress.

 

[DCDAVE]

They probably get actress model type but I would love to see a life like comic accurate looking Trinity. David is perfect as Superman and no doubt Batman will look great. I just worry about Gunn and Wonder Woman.

 

[Sawyer]

Height discussions…

What a joy.

 

[emielaen]

They certainly shouldn't hire a WNBA player. They should look for an actor.

 

[Sawyer]

Yeah, I’m really not sure the WNBA is any more capable of producing acting talent than the NBA is.

I'm worry about Gunn's Wonder Woman, too. I have zero trust in him when it comes to her. I hope I'll be proven wrong.

I give Snyder credit for Gadot she had the perfect face for Diane. I just want a bigger actress with better acting chops.

There are more women basketball players than the WNBA around the world. We see male athletes get into acting all the time, especially action roles. I bet you could find and develop a female athlete to play the Amazon warrior.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Maybe we should crack open the Guinness book or world records to cast Wonder Woman

 

[Kane52630]

Is this who you're looking for @DCDAVE?

 

[Sawyer]

She’s awfully lily-white and I’m sure those pics of her floating around with Wonder Woman-length dark hair are fake, but if it’s about height, then it’s Elizabeth Debicki period.

IMO there is no need for bigger name for Wonder Woman, but the chosen actress to portray her should have better acting chops.

For an established Wonder Woman, I like 5'9, 33 year old General Hospital Swedish actress Sofia Mattson.

 

[Sawyer]

Jesus, everyone on Twitter seems to be jumping on the Mahershala Ali for Martian Manhunter train.

 

[Lily Adler]

I am on the Adam Driver for Joker train.

He made his bed with Megalopolis.

Save him from Marvel!

I am sure she has been mentioned before but this is the first time I have come across her. Ella Balinska is tall at 5' 11", stunning, and, to me, comes across as kind of ethnically ambiguous. I have no idea how talented of an actress she is, this aspect is where i am the most skeptical.

look how freakin tall she looks.

LOL, I could so see Sasha being a Vicki Vale, never would've pegged her for Wondy. That's an interesting choice.

On the subject of GH stars, and since he's becoming bigger thanks to Ryan Murphy, I still say Nicholas Alexander Chavez was tailor made to be Dick Grayson.

I could also see him as Jason Todd aka The Red Hood.

 

[Kane52630]

The "I've never seen this person act before but what about them?" way of fan casting is so interesting to me. lol

 

[Kane52630]

Also Ella Balinska was fantastic in Run Sweetheart Run just FYI.
