WONDER WOMAN

After a young Amazon's violent act sparks outrage in the U.S., Congress passes the Amazon Safety Act—exiling all Amazons and launching AXE, a relentless task force to enforce the ban.

As Diana fights to uncover the truth, she confronts her deadliest foes and a secret kingmaker known only as The Sovereign, whose grip on America threatens to erase everything she stands for.

You can’t cast Wonder Woman as Zatanna, Bob.

But Monica’s right there!

 

[flickchick85]

But Monica’s right there!

....not being Diana!

EDIT: Honestly, I could kinda see her as Zatanna, though. More than Diana at any rate.

Get him on the Corenswet Workout Plan:

 

[Sawyer]

I’ve been bouncing all around when it comes to who should play Wonder Woman, and this being the 25th anniversary of X-Men has me coming around to…

Complete and total unknown. 2000-era Jackman levels of pulled from obscurity. Not even someone with some TV work and a semi-popular horror movie like Corenswet. I don’t want to have seen her face until her casting is announced.

But bear in mind that this will probably have changed by this time next week.

But for whom should the nepobaby play?

I think you're casting too old.

 

[BobJM]

Maybeee, but Superman wasn’t just 20 & 30-year olds. Two of our Lanterns are in their late 50s!

 

[Boom]

But for whom should the nepobaby play?

Bruce Wayne: the Nepobaby of DC.

 

[Sawyer]

I think you're casting too old.

I don’t think they’re old enough, tbh. Ben Schwartz is two years older than Steven Yeun and he was born for Plastic Man.

Are we going for this kind of Plastic Man?

 

[Sawyer]

You get that evil out of here, Adler.

 

[BobJM]

I mean, why can’t Plastic Man be in his 40s? We might get a movie for him someday, but I doubt it becomes a full-blown trilogy or epic saga—nor do I really want that, honestly. Maybe he pops up in a Justice League flick. Or a fun cameo here & there. Better yet, give him an animated series. Then who cares how old he is?

I get the need for strategic casting when it comes to the Trinity, sidekicks, and some
JL’ers— but 3/4 of our current Justice Gang characters are over 40, so I don’t think that needs to be a dealbreaker in the DCU. I wasn’t watching any of those actors in Superman thinking “oh, that’s the old one.”
