'Wonder Woman' Casting Ideas: Readers Weigh In
The second after the 'Wonder Woman' reboot news broke, a casting fervor began. Who will wield the Golden Lasso of Truth? That's been the hot topic around our watercooler and while we all have favorites -- I'd prefer an unknown actress -- we took to you, loyal readers, to cast Diana, the Amazon princess.
So, who did you guys nominate? Check out the list below!
Summer Glau, the butt-kicking 'Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles' and 'Firefly' alumna got more than one nomination from you, dear readers.
"Who should be the new Wonder Woman? Summer Glau. Who should be in every show? Summer Glau," @dxferris said on Twitter. And Becky P. said, "Summer Glau!!! ♥ her :)" on our Facebook page.
Also topping the list? 'Lost' star Evangeline Lilly. Alex H. and Erin D. both suggested the former castaway for the role.
The nominations continued from the outrageous -- yes, I'm talking about your self-nomination, Aunt Annie -- to the obvious. @Msmorev suggested Rachel Bilson on Twitter, and after her jaw-dropping appearance in the Wonder Woman outfit on 'The O.C.' we're sure she'll top many fan lists.
Read on for the other nominations ...
"Evangeline Lilly or Sophia Bush." -- Erin D.
"I feel Katy Perry would make an excellent Wonder Woman." -- Gage H.
"Eliza Dushku or me!" -- Loretta D.
"Hayden Panettiere, only because we miss her." -- Gerald B.
"Some statuesque busty unknown with some acting potential." -- Chris R.
"Daisy Betts from 'Persons Unknown.'" -- @danowen79.
"Olivia Wilde!" -- Heather C.
"Lena Headey!" -- Leo L.
"Beyonce Knowles." -- Derek F.
"['My Big Fat Greek Wedding' star] Nia Vardalos." -- @KevinS3928
"Jennifer Garner or Michelle Trachtenberg!! Or Scarlett Johansson." -- Christopher R.
A lot of valid, plausible suggestions from our Twitter and Facebook fans. Of course, Lynda Carter must be involved, perhaps David E. Kelley could tap the iconic actress as Wonder Woman's mother, Queen Hippolyta. In the comics, Hippolyta once donned the famous costume and served as Wonder Woman herself. Think of the flashbacks!
