Nobody short, CW has the right idea for the TV version, nobody under 5'8" will be considered. {nm}

Who should be cast as Wonder Woman? One 2012 poll w/5000+ votes had Gemma Arterton and Gina Carano close for 1st, Olivia Wilde 3rd. {nm} KalElFan Jul 14, 11:40

D'oh! I watch Continuum and just noticed Rachel Nichols on a tall actresses list (5' 10"). I think she'd be good. {nm} KalElFan Jul 14, 19:59

I'm partial to Jaimie Alexander myself (Lady Sif in the Thor movies) {nm} tealfan Jul 14, 11:55

The Marvel part may be a problem. The author at CBM liked Carano in Haywire. I haven't seen her act but I can definitely see her as WW. {nm} KalElFan Jul 14, 12:08

IMDb says Broadcast Film Critics gave Carano Best Actress in an Action movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1506999/awards?ref_=tt_awd {nm} KalElFan Jul 14, 12:15

even amid all the bad acting in Fast6, carano's acting was noticeably worse. {nm} adrenalin112 Jul 14, 15:21

I always thought Adrianne Palicki was a good pick {nm} Tarheels Jul 14, 13:01

The NBC pilot wasn't awful and she was pretty good in it, but it didn't get picked up so I doubt she'd be up for it. {nm} KalElFan Jul 14, 19:04

Alexandra Daddario is the right age, looks the part and could definitely fill out the costume nicely. {nm} Budd Jul 14, 14:00

Looks plausible. Whedon was going to cast Cobie Smulders BTW. {nm} KalElFan Jul 14, 19:16

I would be fine with this pick. She has the right look despite being on the shorter end of the need at 5 8. I liked her in Percy Jackson. {nm} SolC9 Jul 15, 05:06

Christian Bale. {nm} Paul2k Jul 14, 15:50

"...He's played the Dark Knight, a savior of humanity, AND he's won an Oscar. Now, he's a goddess in his greatest role yet... " :-) {nm} KalElFan Jul 14, 19:08

Lucy Lawless, need I say more? {nm} elchan Jul 14, 16:21

Teresa Palmer {nm} islander Jul 14, 16:49

All 5' 6" of her? {nm} KalElFan Jul 14, 19:09

eh, shes still hotter than anyone mentioned so far {nm} islander Jul 14, 19:13

Melissa McCarthy {nm} charlie Jul 14, 16:57

Grammar ;-) {nm} karspov Jul 14, 17:15

Nina Dobrev {nm} thatpj Jul 14, 17:29

Nobody short, CW has the right idea for the TV version, nobody under 5'8" will be considered. austpow Jul 14, 17:47

yes...must be tall...and intimidating {nm} tealfan Jul 14, 18:41

britney griner? {nm} islander Jul 14, 18:45

So no Nina Dobrev at 5' 6" either then. Lynda Carter is 5' 9". Cathy Lee Crosby 5' 8". Verne Troyer 2' 8" so he's out. {nm} KalElFan Jul 14, 19:22

Lucy Lawless is 5' 9½". Also there's Charlize Theron. She's 5' 9½" too, but she needs a little bulking up. {nm} elchan Jul 14, 19:59

Lawless is 45. My guess is they're looking 30-35. I'd like to see Laura Vandervoort play Supergirl. {nm} KalElFan Jul 14, 20:15

Lucy is ageless. I agree about Laura Vandervoort. She did a good job on Smallville. {nm} elchanYTD2013 Jul 14, 21:48

At 45 though, the WW actress is 50+ by the third movie. There'd be other Amazons, maybe she could play a leader type. Agreed on LV. {nm} KalElFan Jul 15, 04:53

Betty White she needs work Tesla4Ever Jul 14, 18:10

too short :) {nm} JDolphin Jul 14, 19:29

Kelly Brook *drops mic* {nm} budice Jul 14, 18:19

Jennifer Love Hewitt JWL Jul 14, 18:51

Think they're backing themselves into a corner if they define the role using the physical traits she is drawn with robb1138 Jul 14, 19:29

The Man of Steel prequel comic also hints at Kara Zor-El, so DC 2 Marvel 0 on strong females.{nm} KalElFan Jul 14, 20:12

DC could make it 3-0 if they made Power Girl a major player by later in the series, but she's similar to Kara Zor-El / Supergirl. {nm} KalElFan Jul 15, 06:23

Robin Williams {nm} davmoo Jul 14, 19:38

Nanoo Nanoo, davmoo, but Noooooo I Doubtfire that. :-) I did want him to play Mister Mxyzptlk in the Reeve series though. {nm} KalElFan Jul 14, 20:23
