You're right about Conelly now. A few years ago she would have looked finr, but now she's gotten kinda skinny.

It isn't the weight or shape thats wrong it's the age.

 

[The Question]

How old is she?

 

[Lobo]

Connolly is 33/4

 

[The Question]

33? That's not so old. And she certainly looks a biy younger than she is.

 

[Drunia471]

If you can try to find for yourself the pics of Nadia Bjorlin at the Dukes of Hazzard Premier.

Here ya go:

 

[Drunia471]

One more, because I couldn't get both pics into one post.

 

[The Question]

.......no

 

[Polomontana]

Sorry, she has nothing on Roselyn Sanchez:

[SolidRoar]

Please, only suggest naturals!

And try to be more inspired with your choices when you do; don't just suggest the girl/woman of your wildest dreams, OK?

 

[The Question]

......also no. I say Jennifer Connely. "She's 33. She's too old" I hear you say. Well Christian Bale is only a year or two younger than 33, and he played year one Batman (buitifully I might add). Give her a personal trainer for a few months and a tanning bed and she'd be perfect!

 

[porotoparker]

What about this girl? Danneel Harris. You can see her in "Joey". I didn´t find any more or better pictures. If someone likes her as a possible choice, please look for pictures and accurate data.​

 

[The Question]

Hmm. I guess. I've just always thought that Connely looked more the part.

 

[BT18]

Danneel Harris def. looks too petite in those pics, porotoparker

Has anyone suggested Megan Gale yet?

Probably too old, but she's a pretty perfect physical specimen.

Cheers.

After months and months of watching this debate closely, I've decided to throw in my 2 cents. First, Jennifer Connelly would be great for Wonder Woman.......if it were Jennifer Connelly from Career Opportunities and The Rocketeer in 1991. The pictures that I've seen people post of Jennifer are professionals that have been airbrushed. Nowadays, Jennifer is way too thin in the face and starting to age. She doesn't look bad, but she's too...."mature" for what the producers are looking for.
Second, I feel that they should go for an actress who naturally has BLUE EYES (or aqua or blue-grey). Many suggestions on here are of Actresses/Models with dark hair and brown eyes. Wonder Woman is supposed to be striking and one of the things that make her (as well TV's Lynda Carter) so alluring was that she had dark hair on top of piercing blue eyes. It's the one thing that drew me to Nadia Bjorlin's as well as Angelina Jolie's faces (Although I feel both have the face of what I feel Wonder Woman should like, Jolie especially, I wouldn't go with either) and if you want the movie to be as faithful to the character as possible, her eyes to be blue or close to it. Contacts, you say? They tried this with Jessica Alba in Fantastic 4 and it looked fake. Not everyone with brown eyes can pull off blue lenses. I wouldn't be entirely offended it they went with an actress who's naturally blonde haired/blue eyed but could pull off dark brown hair really well (Rachel McAdams comes to mind). Diana/Wonder Woman should be as authentic as possible.
Finally, I think they should go with an unknown actress who can define the role and make it her own. She should also be no taller than 5'10" and no shorter than 5'8". I think 5'9" would be the ideal height (taller than the average woman, but not to the point where she looks awkward) and her body should be toned but not overtly muscled (Angela Bassett in What's Love Got To Do With It? or Hillary Swank in Million Dollar Baby comes to mind when I think of toned). It's a look that can be acheived in a relatively short amount of time.
Just my 2 cents

I can buy inot that and agree totally. Plus your right Jeniffer Connelly would have been Perfect for WW in 91-92. But I disagree as to whether she could pull it off now. I'm kind of conflicted in that area.

 

[JBElliott]

Angie Harmon is perfect for the role of WW.

I posted this in another thread, but I'll re-post it here.

This is wonder WOMAN, not Wonder Girl. But then again it's not Wonder Mom either, so I'd have to say no to Jennifer Connely and Monica Belucci (even though they are still kinda hawt).

Wonder Woman needs to be in her early to mid 20s, but most importantly, she cannot have that "teenage girl" look that so many of today's young actresses are sought out for. We need someone who looks like a woman, but is still young and has potential for the future. I'm speaking hypothetically, but suppose the movie is such a sucsess that Warners orders two sequels? If the starlette is already in her late 30's/early 40s, by the time we get to film #3 she'll look like a soccer mom.

I think that whoever plays WW is going to be someone who's not exactly on the chart as of yet, but is going to gather alot of attention once she's cast. For all we know the actress may not even have much acting experience, and might be a slashie (that's model/actress) with lots of untapped talent. Or, it could be someone who's really good with the indie-film scene and hasn't gotten any attention from the mainstream. Point is, I don't think it's going to be someone well known, because there aren't really any well known actresses that I'd say are "perfect" for the role. Wonder Woman is one of the more tricky female roles to cast in many ways, but I'm interested to see who ends up getting the part.

I second that! I've been seconding that Not Wonder Girl, not Wonder Teen, not Wonder Mom, but Wonder WOMAN.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

I kinda like this Morena Baccarin chick. She has a few pictures on the net where she is wearing make-up and has her hair done and actually looks very pretty on screen. She could pull it off

 

[ShadowBoxing]

She is not perfect but with the right hair and make up staff I think she would look good and convincing as WW

No keep in mind we would be talking some major work here in terms of all the working out she would have to do and all the make-up and hair involved but she could do it.
Notable TV Guest Appearances

Plus she has experience with Super-hot-heros you might say

1. "Justice League" playing "Black Canary" (voice) in episode: "Double Date" (episode # 4.6) 4 June 2005
2. "Justice League" playing "Black Canary" (voice) in episode: "The Cat and the Canary" (episode # 4.1) 5 February 2005

 

[The Question]

I supose. But she looks a little.....young. Even year one Wonder Woman has to have a certain ancient grace and presence.

 

[Lobo]

She's 26

Good job with the pics. I've been trying to find some good ones, and it's been hard. I want to see some full body shots with good pictures of her legs to get an idea what she might look like in costume.

Morena would definitely have to hit the gym a bit to condition herself for the role. I agree. I believe she has a dance background of sorts, so that could help her if she is considered for the part.
