Hollywood comes to you, Lounge member, and asks you to solve a huge casting problem: who should play Wonder Woman
Rules:
1) The person you select has to be roughly the right age now - you can't go back in time or give Lynda Carter a lot of Botox.
2) Keep in mind that looking reasonably good in a bustier is a plus.
3) Keep in mind that ScarJo is already playing Black Widow in the Avengers and Amy Adams is already playing Lois Lane.
That's it.
Who would you cast as Wonder Woman?

(10,000 posts)She looks the part (i.e. she looks like the way WW is drawn in the comics). In old Hollywood, they'd have cast her and taught her acting on the fly.

Tall, athletic, looks good in a bustier (or so I imagine).
She's need a dye job though.

(8,747 posts)She's got the build for it. And she's a brunette. Of course she's a Brit. But if a Brit can play Superman, then one can play Wonder Woman.
I really liked in her in Captain America.

MicaelS
(8,747 posts)One TV series yes, but no movie.
So they can hardly be accused of "making and remaking the same superhero movies over and over again."

Probably, but any woman who can scare Jayne Cobb and earn the admiration of Mal Reynolds deserves to be called Wonder Woman.

(9,681 posts)Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter) eyes and I am a brunette. But alas that was about 30 years ago.
I also had a pretty good figure back then so the bustier thing would have worked also!

(6,154 posts)Wonder woman has to be more than sexy she has to look physically strong and project a strong female presence. She ain't no pushover. I think Beyonce would be great for that. Question is, can she act?

(8,217 posts)1 - Rhona Mitra - British accent but getting a bit older. Still might be ok though.
Since studios tend to not pick people who used to be attached to a previous iteration of their work. I doubt she would fly.
2 - Alana de la Garza - She played Aethyr in Smallville.
Otherwise, I'd look for a European Actress...Maybe Silvia Colloca?
