Whedon does Wonder Woman

[Klaus]

IMHO, Wonder Woman isn't muscular. She's athletic, the way George Pérez and Phil Jimenez and Brian Bolland draw her. The actress who lands the role doesn't need to "bulk up" the way an actor needs to play a male superhero.

And I sure as hell hope they don't put her in a) high heels and b) in an invisible jet.

In fact, just use the Ares Saga from the Wonder Woman reboot (change the USSR for Russia) and you have a kickass WW movie, with strong villains (Ares could rise to Vader level), action...

(My other choices, though they'd be secondary to Gina, would be Dinah Meyer or Melina Kanakaredes.)

Ooh. Victoria's Secret is my favourite two hours of television.

I agree.

So do I. I'm not particularly fond of CC (or SMG for that matter).

My somewhat surprising choice for Wonder Woman would be Anne Hathaway from The Princess Diaries. She's 5'8'', young, brunette, in great shape, long-legged and busty (ahem) and hey, she has alot of experience playing princesses.

She seems a bit young for Wonder Woman...

Anne is 22. And at the risk of sounding sexist, younger is better. Christopher Reeve (may he rest in peace) was the ultimate Superman, no doubt, but even he was showing his age by the time Superman IV came around. They need to cast someone who will still look the part for Wonder Woman II and III. Which, at the risk of sounding sexist again, is why a 35 year old wouldn't be the best choice. Wonder Woman should be a franchise character, so casting fairly young (not too young, but 22 is fine) is smart.

Okay then - how about Lacey Chabert
(ok she's short but that shouldn't matter)

Keira Knightlys 5'7

and Just done a google image search on Jennifer Connelly - she certainly has the Lynda Carter look

Jennifer Connelly as Wonder Woman

Hey Look what I found - from claudio poza

While I like Joss, and especially Firefly, and while I think he'd be a good writer/director for X3 or another superhero movie, I can't shake the feeling that he's wrong for WW. As for SMG or CC, they're both terrible choices for WW, and I really hope he doesn't go with one of them, or any of his actors from his shows. Okay, maybe Morena, she'd be good, I think. But definitely not anyone from Buffy or Angel.

Jennifer Connelly, as she looked in The Rocketeer, would have been a great wonder woman, if you're talking looks. After seeing her in Incredible Hulk, and House of Sand and Fog, I'm not sure she can look that way again.
