I hope she has a multi-picture contract with Warner Bros for the role.

I hope so too, but Shonda Rhimes will have to share her new golden goose with DC.

Or we can just send him this gifset:

A face-off with Batfleck will be tense and hilarious.

 

[StarLord]

Never mind Batman v Superman... Batman v The Wall is where it's at!

 

[Rowsdower!]

Wouldn't be upset if she sports the natural hairstyle from that twitter video.

Yeah, her natural hairstyle actually looks really good. She should use it more.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I too hope Davis appears in other DCCU films as Waller. Especially in JL.

Me too. JL is a must. And hopefully a BvS post-credits cameo.

How has Murder helped change the kinds of roles you are being offered now? What was it about DC's Suicide Squad and Amanda Waller that appealed to you?

As a comic book and Wonder Woman fan, I love the whole DC Comics universe. I traded comic books as a kid so all of that appeals to me. When you dream about being an actor as a kid, that's what you dream about. That's like play acting: being the superhero, getting the gun; it plays into that fantasy. How to Get Away with Murder changed my exposure. I don't know if it changed the quality of roles as much as it changed the exposure. I mean certainly Amanda Waller is a fabulous character.

After watching a couple eps of that show, I can definitely see her standing toe to toe with these guys. And actually intimidating some of them.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Oh Viola, my crush on you grows ever stronger.

So glad she's in the DCCU.

HTGAWM wasn't created by Shonda.

 

[Sawyer]

She didn't create it, but her involvement almost certainly played a role in Viola signing on and the show getting picked up.

She can rock any wig as Amanda Waller, or her natural short style. Anyone who's seen HGAWM or The Help knows she's got the talent. It doesn't matter what her Amanda's look will be, she'll be awesome in the role.

... I'm still mad she lost out to Meryl Streep's Iron Lady back in 2012 too.

Yeah that one still makes my blood boil. Streep seems to get a nomination every time she's in anything, regardless of whether or not it's deserved.

Maybe they are going to a different hairstyle that the one of HGAWM. maybe they are going to go with his natural hairstyle to differenciate both looks, or very short alla Animated movies/series.

It's cool that Viola is a Wonder Woman fan, like myself. I'm excited to see how she portrays The Wall.

She's a comic book fan. One of us! One of us!

That makes me smile. I like that they hire people who are actual fans of comics...I like Viola Davis and I think she is going to be great in role

 

[DOBSON10]

Wow dude that was uncalled for. She's a great actress, not bad looking and comes across as nice and approachable. Not sure about your beef with her but hey it's your opinion.

Just being honest.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Just being honest.

No you were being a *****e.

How about you put a pic of yourself up and I critique the crap out of it?

 

[DOBSON10]

SMH. Whatever. I'm not going to bite my tongue for over-sensitive people. Why don't you quit crying and ignore my comment if you disagree.

 

[Fallen Angel]

yeah i aint going to ignore crap like that.

 

[DOBSON10]

yeah i aint going to ignore crap like that.

And I'm not going to stop stating my opinions because you (or anyone else) don't like it. So we're not going to get anywhere. Might as well let it go.

 

[The Sage]

That's enough, folks.
