Joss Whedon - Who Will Be The New Wonder Woman ? Superhero remakes are everywhere

Sunday 22 January 2006, by Webmaster

Batman. Superman. Spiderman. The Fantastic Four. Daredevil. Hulk. Catwoman. If there’s one thing that cinema audiences seem to enjoy, it’s watching people with superhuman powers save the world from stupid bald people.

Next year, a new production of Wonder Woman (DVDs) will begin shooting. But a female lead actress hasn’t been chosen yet. Everyone... well, some people... OK, just us. We’re are asking "Who will be the next Wonder Woman?"

There have been some early Wonder Woman names thrown about. Sandra Bullock is a possible star, but original Wonder Woman Lynda Carter says she’s too old. As is Catherine Zeta-Jones, apparently, although Carter might be confusing her with her doddery old husband.

It’s assumed that a younger actress will take the role. Katie Holmes keeps being linked to the role. She’s undoubtedly more high-profile since she got together with Tom Cruise, but anyone who watched her cack-handedly dribble her way through her tiny role in Batman Begins might have been put off somewhat.

The film is being directed by Buffy The Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon, so we can’t discount Sarah Michelle Gellar. Or that ginger girl. Or one of the others.

Who do you think will be the new Wonder Woman? Is Sandra Bullock too old to play the role? Do you even care? Leave your suggestions below.

Only one real Wonder Woman — Lauren Graham. Period. End of Discussion.
See online : Who will Joss choose to play Wonder Woman?

Honestly I highly doubt that Sarah will be in Wonder Woman. For one thing her plate is a bit full with all her current & upcoming projects. Plus while, I love SMG, the trust is too short for Wonder Woman.

And there is really only two BtVS actresses that could pull of this role(at looks wise). Charisma Carpenter has the figure for the role, but she might be too old.

Since Joss has said he wants a young actress(in her 20’s), to play the role. Michelle Trachtenberg may actually fit the bill. She’s now 20, and about 5’7" tall. With 3-4" heels on she could be 5’10" to 5’11", about the right height for Wonder Woman.

I’d love to see Lauren Graham as Wonder Woman. She’s just amazingly beautiful and talented. But I guess ’they’ will put her in the "too old"-category. Although she looks so much younger.

I don’t think Michelle Trachtenberg would be able to bring enough authority to this role.

Another possibility would be Anne Hathaway of "The Princess Diaries", "Ella Enchanted", and "Brokeback Mountain". She’s 23, 5’8", dark-haired, and built like Wonder Woman.

Lauren Graham? Cute, good looking but not all what Joss is aiming for and you’d be lucky if he even considered her let alone cast her in such a role. It should be Charisma, she has the look (Joss said it himself), she’s sassy, she’s kind of a workaholic type which is perfect for the role, and with a familiar face directing her she may up her preformance (although I think she’s quite talented as an actress already). Sarah will not be in the movie and I’m damn sure she won’t be in f-cking Sabrina the Teenage Witch (somebody kill that rumor) but I do believe she could make an excellent Catwoman.
