Wonder Woman (2017) (1 Viewer)

Not a bad idea. She is quite tall, has excellent teeth. And wasn't she going to get breast implants?

 

[Rob T]

She was using the invisible plane in that Alex Ross book...

Just a small note, but Hippolyta, the back-up Wonder Woman and mother of Diana (the real Wonder Woman), is the one that uses the invisble plane. Diana can actually fly.

I think in the end we'll probably end up having an relative unknown play the role of Diana (aka. Wonder Woman).

The character has to have very slightly muscular build, be at least 5 feet 10 inches (177.8 cm) tall, and probably has very dark or natural black hair. The Lucy Lawless at the time of the first season of Xena: Warrior Princess would have fit that requirement perfectly, but of course now Lawless is just too old to play that role in 2004. :frowning:

Wonder Woman: Larissa - the current star of NBC's Average Joe 2 - apparently has producers of the upcoming comic-book franchise wanting this former Miss Missouri to turn into their new Diana Prince.

I just have one thing to say:

 

[Shane_M]

So, they should have China play the role.... hahahaha... right. Anyway, I think Charisma would be a good choice. If she hit the gym and added some muscular tone she'd be nearly perfect.

I personally like the choice.

I think Rhona Mitra would be a good choice. I think she looks the part and standing at 5'8'' she definitely has the figure. She hasn't had much acting experience, but from what I have seen of her she is capable of being WW. http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/5198/fhm15.jpg[/IMG]

Here is a picture of Larissa from Average Joe:

My picks would be either beach volleyball star Gabreille Reese, or Michele Lintel, who was Sci-Fi Channel's Black Scorpion two years ago.

Does anyone have a photo of Susan Eisenberg, who voices WW on Cartoon Net's Justice League? I like what her voice does for the character, and who knows--maybe she looks the part in real life, too!

 

[Vlad D]

She's probably a bit too old but I think Emmanuelle Beart would make a fantasitic looking WW.

Emmanuelle

BTW, Anyone remember that Wonder Women movie from the 70's that had a blonde, Cathy Lee Crosby, as WW?

 

[todd s]

Couldn't find a picture of Susan Eisenberg. But, here is Michele Lintel

She does a great job as the voice of Diana, but she surely does not look like Diana.

Casting Charisma Carpenter as WW would be the most ill-conceived casting choice since Halle Berry was given the role of Storm.

Just go with an unknown who actually looks and can act the part. No wrestlers, volleyball players, or professional models, either. Get an actual actress.

Ricardo_C, you wrote:

That's going to be a pretty tall order (pun definitely intended here ). I still think it would end up being a relative unknown that gets the part; after all, when Lynda Carter got the role for the TV series in 1976 she was pretty much unknown in the acting community. It was an extraordinary stroke of luck that Carter got the role because her looks fairly matched closely what the comic book artists at DC Comics envisioned her at the time.

 

[Patrick Sun]

So no love for Krista Allen? She turns 32 in April, but looks to keep herself in good shape. She does have that whole "Emmanuelle" line of films in her past through. But photogenically speaking, she looks pretty good. She's not as tall as I'd like for this role, but she's listed at 5'7.5".

 

[Ricardo C]

C'mon, it's not like Krista's Emmanuelle films were hardcore porn or anything. I'd be more ashamed of having been in "Days of Our Lives"

I have a huge celeb crush on her, but I don't think she's right for the role. She'd be my #1 choice for Rogue, if she was being written at the same age she is in the comics.

To me, WW is a woman in her mid-30s, not a 20-something. She has an air of authority that only comes with age. I envision her very much the way I envision Storm: A slihghtly older member of the team, and one who'd be leading the team if it wasn't for the two members with seniority: Batman and Superman in the JLA, and Cyclops and Jean Grey in X-Men.

When X-Men was being cast, I kept hoping Angela Basset would get the part. For WW, the best I can do in terms of suggesting an actress is this: Find the white Angela Basset. If you can find someone who projects her "presence", you're golden.

Sigh....

So far, the best candidate for Wonder Woman mentioned in this thread so far has been the guy who runs JLANIMATED.COM...

Moe.

Maybe it's changed since the old days, but last I knew, Storm was 2nd in command to Cyclops.

 

[Peter McM]

...the two members with seniority: Batman and Superman in JLA...

In the current treatment, it seems to be Green Lantern who calls the shots most often. Batman has even excused himself as an "official" member.

Thanks for the photo, Rob! You're right--Susan doesn't look the part. Sure is cute, though; definitely not disappointed!

 

[Ricardo C]

Rob, Peter, just goes to show how far I've been away from comics My post was informed by some of the last comics I've read, which include X-Men 70 (in which Storm and Wolverine take over the team after Scott and Jean go on sabbatical, and GL 80-something, where Superman had only recently acquired his "electric" persona, and Kyle made a comment about how he looked up to his teammates... Except Bats, who scared him sh**less

 

[ThomasEdison]

How about Jolene Blalock from Enterprise? You guys think she could do it?
