Whedon does Wonder Woman

[Morrus]

Hmmm.

Check out seasons 3&4 of Angel to see how good of an actress CC is. She is very different from her bitchy Buffy character.

Well, the nature of her lines changed. They removed the sarcastic stuff. I'm afraid that I really don't consider her a good actress, though.

I agree.

I don't care if they get Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sarah Jessica Parker, or Sarah Lee to play it - Joss is attached, and that's a good thing.

Realistically, I'd like someone with Lindsey Carter's look, because he epitomized Wonder woman to me. But as long as she can act, is tall, leggy and doesn't look unnatural as a brunette, I'm happy.

I watched the entire run of Angel, and I must say I was very unimpressed with Charisma.

And I was very impressed with Amy Acker's ability to change from nerdy Fred to glacial Illirya with just her face and tone of voice (in the episode where Fred's parents show up in W&H).

If someone from Angel had to do it, I'd rather see a black hair-dyed Stephanie Romanov.

Gina Torres. Gina Torres. Gina Torres.

Girl's got HUGE chops, is frickin' beautiful, powerfully built and tall. And she can do sly so very, very well.

Gina Torres. Gina Torres. Gina Torres.

Gina Torres works for General Phillipus, but not Diana. Morena Baccarín would be a good choice, though.

Gina Torres. Gina Torres. Gina Torres.

Girl's got HUGE

Well, they're not all that big.

chops

Oh.

, is frickin' beautiful, powerfully built and tall. And she can do sly so very, very well.

Gina Torres. Gina Torres. Gina Torres.

The only problem I'd have with Gina as WW is the skin color.

As for SMG as WW, no way. I mean, she works as Buffy because of the contrast between her height and her kickassitude (people on the show do remark on her size), but WW isn't supposed to have that contrast. WW is a frickin' amazon, after all.

 

[ShadowDenizen]

Well, Barsoomcore beat me to the punch. Gina Torres would make a phenomenal WW, IMO. (My other choices, though they'd be secondary to Gina, would be Dinah Meyer or Melina Kanakaredes.)

Charisma Carpenter is fine, but not for WW, at least in my eyes.

According to IMDB, Gina Torres in 5'11" and 35 years old. My choice, Jennifer Connelly, is 5'8" and 34. So they could really play General Phillipus and Princess Diana, respectively. And they both got the fisique du role for these parts.

And Gina Torres voices Vixen in JLU. She would be a kickass Vixen in a live-action movie.

I could see Dina Meyer, with a black dye-job. And she can keep her curls (unlike Birds of Prey, where she had to undergo hair torture to make it straight everyday). She could play a cool Starfire as well.

What about Chyna of WWF

actually maybe she'd be better as She-Hulk
