Jessica Biel as Wonder Woman?

Categories: Deals, Film

Ww_lSo… Jessica Biel as Wonder Woman? She’s certainly hot enough and athletic enough. Also, one-of-the-guys enough to hold her own on screen with fellow Justice Leaguers Batman and Superman. Acting-wise, jury is probably still out. Is she regal enough to play an Amazonian princess? Probably not, but then, who is? C’mon, fanboys and fangirls, it’s Lasso of Truth time, so weigh in below.

    I think she’d be great. See Blade: Trinity

    Kate Beckinsale would be great as Wonder Woman.

  • Welles

    How about Rosario Dawson, Gabrielle Union or any other woman who looks as if she has eaten this month. Jessica Biel looks as if she has problems just lifting her fork to her lips.

  • Raku

    Uh, Welles… Have you ever SEEN Jessica Biel?! I doubt anyone would accuse her of being too skinny. She more muscular than Brandon Routh!

    As for her playing WW? I don’t mind. As long as they cast her Blade partner Ryan Reynolds as Flash and Smallville’s Tom Welling as Superman, I’ll be waiting in line with my $9 starting tomorrow!

    Seriously, can we just give up on the idea of making this movie?? It’s going to be lousy no matter who you cast in the role, the character just isn’t that interesting.

  • stephen

    She can’t act. She’s just eye candy. Give it to Beckinsale.

  • Maveness

    She won’t work. She doesn’t have that inner strength of Lynda Carter. If they seriously wanted to make the movie right, they’d cast Gina Torres. Sadly, it won’t happen because she’s “too old” (which is, she’s not in her 20s) and she’s not white with black hair. Never mind that she is pretty much an Amazon.

  • eliz.s.

    No.

  • snarky

    UGH. No JB for this role. I think someone older – I always though Lucy Lawless was totally right for this one, coming off the fierce Xena days, but who knows if she is still in that kind of shape?
    I also sort of like the girl from Transformers – M. Fox, I think her name is. She’s got that kick a** look in her eye.

  • GeeMoney

    Sarah Michelle Gellar! I heard that she was up for the role or wanted it at one point in time.

  • Lynny

    Blah- besides, maybe it is because I came up watching Lynda Carter, but isn’t wonder woman supposed to have hips?! Not sure who I would cast though.

  • Silv

    No, no, no. Truthfully I just don’t get what the big deal is about Jessica Biel. Kate Beckinsale is perfect. Looks-wise, Nadia Bjorlin would come very close to Lynda Carter (though her acting ability is questionable – she does come from Days of Our Lives). Still, at least it isn’t Scarlett Johannson.

  • Jessie

    Lauren Graham would be perfect! I’m sure she could get a little more muscle-y.

  • Lucas

    I hope it’s just a rumor…

  • lebeau

    This one gets a thumbs-up in my book.
    Way better than many former front-runners. Sandra Bullock and Sarah Michelle Gellar would not have worked at all.
    Biel may not be perfect, but she’s the best “name” actress I can think of for the role.
    And while Kate Beckinsale is arguably a better actress, I don’t think she’s as good a physical match for WW as Biel is.

  • Jasunshine

    FYI, Gina Torres is a fabulous choice and I don’t think she’s too old but she’s 38, not anywhere near her 20s.

  • Horatio

    awful choice…

  • Carmen

    Megan Fox is my choice. Jessica Biel is too manly. Kate Beckinsale and Sara Michelle Gellar just aren’t hot enough.

  • MyOpinion

    They really should pick a lesser known actress. It worked well in the past for other superhero movies.

  • Joe Cool

    I think Victoria Hill would be a good choice. She looks the part and is relatively unknown in the states. These qualities are always good when filling a comic book iconic role.

  • Derek

    Physically Jessica Biel is perfect but she is actually a bad actress (Blade:Trinity, The Illusionist, etc.), so they should keep looking. Missy Peregrym (Stick It) is also a good match physically but I’m not sure she’s there yet with the acting. Some have suggested Kate Beckinsale – good actress, but a little too soft to be an amazon (I didn’t think she was that believeable in Underworld).

  • C.L.K.

    Morena Baccarin from Firefly/Serenity. PERFECT!!

  • MD

    No-No and No!

  • fredric

    No matter who they pick… maybe having a role of a lifetime such as this is reason enough to step up the game in both physicality and acting. It’s been done before – I’m not going to pass judgment until I’ve seen the movie.

  • Mavis

    Carisma Carpenter! She would be perfect! We already know from her Angel days that she can kick butt and hang with the boys!

  • Will

    Growing up with the 1970’s TV show, Jessica Biel would be a terrible choice. Linda Carter was great. I agree with another post that a lesser known actress would be best. Jessica Biel being a possibility could be an indication as to how bad this movie may be.

  • Amber

    Sorry, but no way. She should not and cannot play Wonder Woman. I’d much rather see Beckinsale or Alba.

  • Jayeldub

    Yea, I just don’t get the appeal of Jessica Biel. blah

  • Ames

    I think JB is a good choice, but I would really rather this movie not be made. I shudder to think how WW’s sisterhood credo will be watered down. But physically speaking, the actress has to be pretty big in stature to believe she’s the leader of amazons.
