Kate Beckinsale for Wonder Woman! - Blu-ray Forum

Kate Beckinsale is in too many fanacasts. Gina Carano should be Wonder Woman.

I can't see Beckinsale as Wonder Woman just because of her age. She'll be 42 in 2015 when Justice League is supposedly coming out and if that's a hit they will likely want to spin off Wonder Woman into it's own movie and future JL movies. That could easily encompass a decade and by that point Beckinsale would be in her 50s. I would be surprised if they cast someone over 30 as Wonder Woman.

While she is already in Thor, I think Jamie Alexander would be good for WW:

She has the look, the age, and the action/acting chops (from what I can tell). While I normally don't like actors being in multiple comic franchises, I would be fine with this as she is not a major character in Thor, nor is she actually a superhero. Or maybe I just want to see her in more roles.

As for Beckinsale, I like her a lot, she is unbelievably gorgeous, and I think she can really act, but I don't think she is right for WW.

I fully support this post

I wanted Beckinsale for Selina Kyle in Dark Knight Rises...but as it turns out, Hathaway did great.

I agree that she could be awesome for it.

Kate Beckinsdale is wrong for the part. Wonder Woman is supposed to be tall, muscular and big boned. She has to have an Amazonian stature and an intimidating physique. Kate Beckinsdale is too thin and too dainty. She has the body of a supermodel. These are the exact same reasons why Halle Berry was miscast as Storm in the X-Men trilogy.

Kate Beckinsdale is also too old to star in a Wonder Woman franchise. Such a role would typically require multiple film commitments spanning a decade. While there's nothing wrong with a 40-year old wonder woman right now, eventually Beckinsdale will be pushing 50 and there will be issues in future sequels. I don't think Wonder Woman has ever been portrayed as a post menopausal woman.

Someone like Gina Carano has the right physique (and age) to star in a Wonder Woman series. Not sure if she has the charisma for it though.

I believe the casting sheet only makes reference to "giant bazongas".

I agree with you. I think Gina Carano would be perfect for the role but she should hone her acting skills a bit more.

Too bad Catherine Zeta Jones couldn't have played WW circa The Mask Of Zorro...

And they've fiddled around with a Wonder Woman movie so long, the idea of Lynda Carter playing her mother gets dimmer and dimmer each day.
