No

She’d be horrible in the role. She’s not athletic, curvaceous in the wrong places (i.e. her hips), and a bad actress. No thanks.

Not a chance.

Yes she could do it, and she would be fine, but I don’t see it happening

they need someone that looks like she can kick your ass but at the same time look friggin hot. I nominate Katie Lea

well, okay then.

I dunno but I’d love to see her in the costume.

I saw her walking around the show floor Sunday……okay I didn’t see her but rather someone surrounded by bodyguards in a circle formation and thought it was quite silly. I asked some guy who it was that was surrounded by bodyguards and he said Jennifer Love Hewitt and I rolled my eyes.

Wonder Woman? Ugh no. Sorry. The look isn’t there. Wonder Woman needs to be a strong opinionated woman with unrivaled beauty and a curvaceous figure. Megan Fox would be good if DC wants to start her off young or Angelina Jolie would be perfect as an older version. Or one could cast Charisma Carpenter ….. Monica Bellucci can play Wonder Womans mother.

No thanks.

I agree with Monetta.
She doesn’t strike me as the Amazon type.
She would be nice to look at in the outfit, tho.

Not the worst option, I guess. I agree with Monetta that she is too much of a “sweetheart”, and I also don’t think she is tall enough. Still, at least she is a name actress and isn’t that horrible, over-exposed Megan Fox.

The problem with the Wonder Woman role is she’s supposed to play the ‘ideal’ woman. In today’s cynical world it’s hard to find that. Linda Carter was a rarity…

She . Is. 30. That is TOO OLD?!
Sad.

Can’t we just say that she’s wrong for the role, but that it has nothing to do with her age. I just mistrust any actors who “actively” campaign for a role (Sean Young for Catwoman in the 1980s anyone? Or was that just too long ago?)

oh please god no. just the way she talked about her “bracelets” and her little tiara….

A world of no.

I don’t get why so many people say she’s too old for the part. She’s 30…Brandon Routh is 29 and Christian Bale is 35…so, she would be around the same age as Superman and Batman.

My problem isn’t the age… I think her age is fine for the role. I think she’s too short. Other than the height issue, I wouldn’t have a problem.

The actress who plays Wonder Woman should look, you know, like an AMAZON. The casting people should be looking at fitness models.

OK when did Wonder Woman have an accent? It’s not portrayed in the comics and certainly not in the cartoons.

I agree with Ray, she could play Zatanna but not Wonder Woman.

Sorry Jen but I don’t think its a case that we as fans are being too demanding of who should play the part. The chosen one (if she will ever be found) to play Wonder Woman needs to be convincing or the movie is doomed. But no matter who is chosen, she won’t please everyone.

I think she could pull it off. But she’d need to be put on a serious weight training and dietary program. She’d need to gain AT LEAST 10 LBs of lean muscle. Think Jessica Biel in Blade Trinity.

Megan Gale as WW, Linda Carter as Hippolyta. Discussion over.

What part of “Amazon” does she not understand?

“She . Is. 30. That is TOO OLD?!”

Yes.

Whomever they pick to be Wonder Woman should be young enough to play in 3 movies before she’s 35.

Plus she’s far too short at 5′2″. WW is an Amazon, not a munchkin.

Ahem: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Anyone who says she’s too old is an idiot. She’s just a mediocre actress. Also, she just doesn’t look anything like any wonder woman I’ve ever seen. Wonder Woman should intimidate most men when she enters a room with her physical prowess, regal elegance, and palpable dignity. When I think Jennifer Love Hewitt, I think girl-next-door/scrawny/mediocre actress/bad role-decisions/loves scarves. None of that says wonder woman to me.

HA! I was having dinner with a friend this weekend & he said he thought JLH should star as Wonder Woman! Quite funny to read this now!

Would be interesting if JLH took over the Lynda Carter role.

Would also like to see her as SUPERWOMAN.

how about getting someone from south europe to do it, give it some flavour

She got the tits for it.

Oh, hell no.

I’m not surprised at the backlash. She can act. I’d say give it a shot. as we see comic fans will never learn. remember when Heath Ledger was announced to be the Joker? give it a shot it might surprise you.

Irwin Schwab Says:
“Who cares? No one likes Wonder Woman.”

That’s okay, because no one here likes Irwin Schwab (let alone heard of him).

I’d vote for Keri Russell; she did a great job doing her voice in the animated DVD. Or perhaps Malin Ackerman; she may have been too young for Silk Spectre, but she might not be bad at all for WW - she has the sculpted Lynda Carter-type look.

No.

I just couldnt imagine pouty JLH in any genuinely dramatic role. of any kind. at all. I cant deny that her ability to wear a tiara deserves a little consideration I do wonder if a Wonder Woman movie will ever be made. it must be one of the toughest casting assignments out there. I’m more concerned if the omodon warner execs could bring themselves to approve a quality script? more likely it’ll be yet another woeful p.o.s. like the massive percentage of ‘comic-based’ movies made to date.

Too soccer-mommish.

It’s fine to be skeptical based on her acting ability, but stop saying she doesn’t look the part. Getting in shape is not hard for someone who is paid to do it. Haircuts and makeup are not hard either. And too old? She’s like, 30. What do you want; Dakota Fanning?

If they make a WW movie, it’s probably NOT gonna be a shot for shot remake of the comic. I doubt the costume is going to be an American Flagkini. I predict we’ll see adjustments similar to Batman’s costume in The Dark Knight, and then everybody will complain about THAT, too.

Oh come one. It’s great she wants to be WW,just like say Beyonce but no way she is. Too short and not amazonian enough.

Olivia Wilde is my choice

Yes ! I would sell all of you into chinese labour camps making nikes to see her as wonder woman!

Charlize Theron would make the perfect Amazon Princess. Great actress, tall, can do action and is drop dead gorgeous!

I think that they should get Jennifer Gardner. No one plays exotic Mediterranean women quite like her.

Here’s why she shouldn’t:

1) Sweet. Unless they’re going for the 1940’s “Secretary” WW, she has no business being sweet. And before anyone starts all that “she’s an actress” nonsense, she’s been cast as a tough chick before, and it’s never believable.

2) Small. She’s short, skinny and downright wee. If you want to have anything even remotely resembling that costume, you need to fill it out with an imposing woman or else it’s going to look silly.

And here’s why she wouldn’t get cast anyway:

1) Too old. Sad but true, Tobey Maguire can continue to portray college-age Peter Parker well into his 40’s, but try that stuff with a woman and casting directors will laugh you out of their office. My stance? See below.

2) TV Actress. Carries a lousy stigma. Especially when it’s “TV Actress that…had a movie career once and never quite made it so had to go BACK to being a TV actress”.

3) Too well known. Not just because of the taking you out of the movie thing either. Makes it much easier to sign them up for three picture deals on the cheap when they’re young and inexperienced, so studios are getting wise to it as well.

Dream casting? Monica Bellucci circa L’Appartement. Looks, check. Acting ability, check. Presence, check. Hell, I would cast her now if I were in charge. She’s still probably the most beautiful woman on film right now, so who cares about age? Of course, she’s probably the one actress around who wouldn’t be interested. That, or she’d get cast as Hippolyta.

I like her, but I think she’s a little too…well if she’s being cute with the jewelry aspect to sell herself (bracelets and tiara) I’d like to see more of an inkling that there is an AMAZON inside of her to bring out.

I don’t think you have to know the comic book to have an inner warrior (true warrior) that you need to bring to the role. An old soul is also something I would want Diana to have (how old is she suppossed to be? honor and yet an innocence and naivete in the new world…if that makes sense.

I don’t think Xena was that far off the mark.

As much as I adore JLH, she’s not built to be Wonder Woman.

Artemis, maybe…

Um. No.

Charisma Carpenter has also been very public about wanting the role. And I think she is fabulous enough to do it justice.

Jodie Minear is the athlete I’d want for Wonder Woman.

This debate is a moot point. Warner Brothers ain’t making a WW movie anytime soon. It’s possible they could have WW as part of an ensemble JLA film, but I seriously think “Catwoman” will be the last solo female DC comic book movie we’ll see in a LOOONNNGGGG time.

no one, and i mean no one, is more qualified to play wonder woman than brooke shields. maybe they’re going for a younger versin of diana. don’t matter. brooke is the way to go!

what about Gina Carano????

Stana Katic.

Case closed.
