Kate Beckinsale for Wonder Woman!

[ONE_DAY_AS_A_LION]

I know some of you will think she's too old to play the part but I think she looks incredible and she's just on the cusp of 40. She's played in physical roles and has the look (even though I think she could buff up just a bit).



I get that this isn't the greatest picture of her to be even considered as Wonder Woman but I do think she has something that most guys will agree they would want to see her play that role!

To be clear, I'm open to suggestions as well, just not Jessica Biel. She is a BLAH actress that does nothing for me. Please continue

I don't think she's "too old" at all.
When someone is as brutally and ruthlessly hot as Kate Beckinsale, it doesn't matter how old she is at all.

Wonder Woman is a tough call though. There is a huge curve for a corny factor.

There are a few who really "look" the part (Megan Fox) for instance, but might not be able to nail it.


I would actually much rather see a good Supergirl movie

Linda Carter was perfect so she should be the model (no pun intended).
I have to think about this more.

[Show spoiler]I think...Pam Grier for Wonder Woman!!!

I don't think Kate Beckinsale is too old to play Wonder Woman, but if you wanted to someone younger how about Alexandra Daddario ( best known for Annabeth from Percy Jackson )...

Well, Kate looks good and all, and she does have the action star physicality as well, but in the comics, Wonder Woman is around 23 in "The New 52" side of things, and if they plan on building a franchise around her, they might want to go after someone younger. Those are just my thoughts about how it's going to turn out, but for what it's worth, you could do a lot worse than Beckinsale for the role imo...

How about Nina Dobrev? She has a big following and the looks to back it up. Mind you, I've never actually seen her act though, never did see Vampire Diaries, but I figure she's got to be good for something since the show's still running

[lazystoner]

Bridget Regan.



That is all.

[Falaskan]

I don't think she's the best choice, but I definitely wouldn't mind it, at all! Everyone seems to think that Wonder Woman can't be brought to screen effectively, I don't get that excuse, not in this day and age (it just means Nolan needs to do it) .

Nope.

Serinda Swan.

She did a great job as Zatanna on "Smallville".

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

[fatediesel]

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.

[vegeta88]

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.

what's wrong with the actress in your avatar?! she'd get my vote. Olivia Wilde might be good too. Zooey Deschanel if you're going for camp. Also, Danica Patrick if she decided to leave NASCAR and become an actress.

Isn't that Evangeline Lilly? She'd make a good WW.
Gonna throw in another wild card here: Camilla Belle!

[Solidus911A]

Kate could be good, also like Lynn Collins princess from John Carter,Jamie Alexander is another good one as well.

[Seymour]

They already had somebody perfect for the part, but the TV pilot was a bust:



I think it's just too corny, unless they explicitly went in a campy direction.

[toddly6666]

I'll stick with my Rebecca Hall recommendation. It's wiser to go with the Brits! You don't want some dummy American actress that looks the part but just comes off as memorable as Halle Berry's Catwoman or Barbwire! Superheroes should be cast by good actors anyway!



I like Beckinsale but not for Wonder Woman.

[chris_sc77]

The only decent performance I have seen Kate Beckinsale give was in Snow Angels. Everything else I have seen she has been rather forgettable, un-magnetic and bland.
Maybe she could do it but I dunno. I would rater have Eva Green or someone else.

She's the best choice by far and has already played an action hero on television in skimpy clothing. Beckinsale is too old, particularly if you stick with the classic costume with the legs entirely exposed.

I'm almost positive though that WB would change the entire costume on screen, to appease feminist elements. Originally the television costume for the aborted pilot was changed until fans started moaning about it.
