QUEEN HIPPOLYTA: Lena Olin (“Alias”)
“Regal, smart, and beautiful, Olin would make a complex, otherworldly Amazon queen.”

DONNA TROY: Kate Beckinsale (“Underworld: Evolution”)
“A proven action star with ‘Underworld,’ Beckinsale would give Donna Troy uncommon intelligence, depth and grace.”

WONDER GIRL: Lindsay Lohan (“Mean Girls”)
“Lohan is every bit as tough, beautiful and dangerous as Geoff Johns’ current characterization of Wonder Girl [in Teen Titans].”

ARTEMIS: Milla Jovovich (“Resident Evil”)
“The sword-swinging star of ‘Ultraviolet’ is ideal casting for the Amazon warrior who is as lethal as she is lovely.”

GIGANTA: Gretchen Mol (“The Notorious Bettie Page”)
“The star of ‘The Notorious Bettie Page’ has that classic ’50s pin-up look and a twinkle in her eye that lets you know she’s in on the joke.”

ARES: Jonathan Rhys Meyers (“Mission: Impossible III”)
“The roguish, seductive star of ‘Bend It Like Beckham’ and ‘Match Point’ would make the perfect dark mirror to Jolie’s luminous Wonder Woman.”
