We are Amazons!! The Queen Hippolyta and the Amazonian's Casting Thread

[phoenixflight]

Granted we have discussed the casting of Queen Hippolyta, Artemis, Phillipus, Aleka and several other Amazons and support characters from the wonder-verse in other forums, however I would like to put all those great casting suggestions together here...so let's have it.

Should Wonder Woman's Amazons be based on the new 52 or the pre-flashpoint universe?

With the official casting of Gal Gadot (28 years old, 5' 9") as Wonder Woman:
-how old should the actress playing her mother Queen Hippolyta be?
-should Hippolyta have black hair or blonde?
-does the height of the Queen matter?

Will the Amazons make an appearance beyond non-speaking roles?

It's inevitable that Hippolyta will be cast, but who will be cast to play her:

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

Lynda Carter as Hippolyta or GTFO.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Rosamund Pike as Artemis.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

I would say also, Wonder Woman should be based on Brian's New 52 run. I've never been a big Wonder Woman fan but that run is great.

 

[Capt. Marvelous]

Lynda Carter as Hippolyta or GTFO.

No. Too old.

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

No. Too old.

Age ain't nothing but a number baby. She's probably younger than Irons.

Here are my top 6 Academy Award winning choices...

Brunette (pre-flashpoint):
Sandra Bullock (age 49)
Jennifer Connelly (age 43)
Catherine Zeta-Jones (age 44)

Blonde (new 52):
Cate Blanchett (age 44)
Charlize Theron (age 38)
Nicole Kidman (age 46)

 

[Micromind]

Eva Green.

Was just watching Law & Order with Angie Harmon:

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Eva Green.

Boom.

 

[John-An]

Queen Hypolita: Monica Bellucci

I would probably stick with what zack snyder is doing with wonder woman and cast a lineup of foreign actresses.

Queen Hypolita: Monica Bellucci

This is the only suggestion that makes sense. Casting American 62 year old Lynda Carter as Hippolyta doesn't make sense. She's not the best choice for the role. She doesn't even look related to Gadot.

I'm not opposed to having Carter make a cameo in a Wonder Woman movie, but she shouldn't be Hippolyta, that's taking it too far.

Ooh, very nice I could see Sandra Bullock or Catherine Zeta-Jones pulling it off pretty well.

Deborah Ann Woll as Artemis (29 years old, 5'10)

 

[phoenixflight]

Or as Aleka if they go with the new 52 continuity. Love Deborah Ann!!

 

[Lily Adler]

My out of the box casting.

 

[OutOfBoose]

These castings... They never happen.

Deborah Ann and Monica are nice.

 

[Derrick9592]

My out of the box casting.

Ooh, Michelle Pfeiffer Now that's way out of the box casting. Good thinking

I love it when great minds think alike.

I'd only have Hippolyta in this sharing a scene with her daughter but not the rest. Save them for Wonder Woman's own spin off movie.

 

[phoenixflight]

Supporting Amazons (cameos):

Katee Sackhoff (as Mala), Maggie Q (Euboea), Danai Gurira (as Nu'Bia)

 

[phoenixflight]

I would be fine with this as well. Maybe a scene in the Palace Throne Room where Queen Hippolyta is presenting Diana with the armor!

 

[Derrick9592]

For a second, I thought it was Lupita Nyong'o on the right.
