Carpenter wants Wonder Woman role

CharismaCarpenter.jpgThis means nothing, but Charisma Carpenter has been speaking about how she would love the Wonder Woman role, although to put this in context it was the interviewer that raised the question!

From TV Guide through Superherohype, comes the all important snippet:

...Hey, are you going to star in Wonder Woman? [Buffy creator Joss Whedon is writing and will direct a big-screen take on the superheroine, to be produced by Joel Silver.] What a great fit that would be. Carpenter: I know! From your lips to God's ears... or Joss'... or Joel's....

...Another baby?
Carpenter: I'd like to eventually, but I want Wonder Woman right now. I'm not holding my breath but I'm crossing my fingers and toes and praying.

Well sounds like she really does want the role. How feasible is it? Could she carry the role? If not, who could? There have been many names banded around, but who do you favour for the role? I guess that a lot of the choice depends on whether the film turns to the early years (which I think it is) or the latter years (as has been hinted before).

I'd rule her out just on the basis that her first name is "Charisma". ;-)

Vic

Noooo Vic! That's not reason too...

Hmm, I'm not sure how I feel about this. I think she might be able to pull it off and I think she's definitely pretty enough.
I do think it does depend more on where Joss decides to go with the script.
Currently, I don't have a specific actress in mind who I think could play the role. I can say that I haven't like any of the names that have been mentioned through the rumor mill.
In my opinion, Joss and crew should go with a relatively unknown name. Surround that actress with other known actors and have some fun.

Jennifer Connelly

I thought there was talk that Kate Beckinsale might be in on it?

Oh no, I love the Connelly idea - she is so perfect for it and an amazing actress...but...would she do such a role?

If she is smart, which I think she is, she prolly wont do it.

Well, Miss Connelly did Hulk so I don't think she's averse to doing comic book heroes. But then again she was drawn to doing it because of Ang Lee.

Once bitten, twice shy. I don't think she'd go for it again...mind you, at least Whedon can turn a great yarn.

Yes, she did Hulk but she played a supporting role. What about Bridget Moynahan? ;-)

Just acting in a movie you are practicing empathy; you are imagining what it is like to be another human being...and for an audience to sit together and share the experience of another person's hopes and fears...Just the simple act of attending a movie is a world bettering act; a social learning.
- Natalie Portman
