It seems like every actress in Hollywood has been rumored to be attached to the role of Wonder Woman … which is why we’re now importing Bollywood actresses to start rumors about.
Cinematical brings us the latest Wonder Woman casting rumor — Priyanka Chopra, co-star of the big hit Bollywood movie Krrish. Per the site:
Apparently, Miss Chopra is popularity incarnate in Bollywood right now, and Whedon thinks her charm might play just as well in the West. This does some pretty serious damage to browncoat hopefuls who have been pulling for Morena Baccarin, as Baccarin was leading the popular rumor races of late. Some thoughts suggest Baccarin’s newly accepted regular guest role on TV’s Stargate might have resulted in conflicting schedules, but I have trouble believing she’d opt for a few TV guest spots over a major motion picture. If she’s out, it’s most likely because the Powers That Be have rejected her for some reason. Or possibly even Joss himself …
In the comments section, a reader points out that the rumor comes from the Wonder Woman page on the Internet Movie Database, which he points out is “highly unreliable when it comes to casting for upcoming movies.” So take it for what it’s worth.

She looks like she’d make a great superheroine. But I somehow always see Wonder Woman as greek.

If this could ever be true, is a serious blow to the Wonder Woman Franchise, also even though Joss Whedon is a self proclaimed non-ww fan, I surely hope WB, DC, and Lynda Carter dont let the franchise fall through the cracks in these ways, hopefully its just a rumour, as this movie can really make a whole new generation of north american fans, that will love WW for years to come. Staying true to the character is more important in this case, Lynda Carter’s casting was amazingly uncanny and thats what made the show so believable and Wonderful! Please do us Justice for loving this SuperHeroine for so many years, btw she is the female equivalent of Superman, her origins and spirit are vital to this story’s success, casting is crucial, and my pick is Michelle Monaghan, has anyone seen her on screen she’s wonderful, as the computer tech in Mr,Mrs. Smith I was inspired and for the first time in twenty years Diana Prince was before my eyes.
