There has been much chatter about the casting of the next Wonder Woman. There was the casting hoax, which named Megan Fox as the new Wonder Woman, and the declaration from Beyonce that she should be cast as our beloved brunette. We love Wonder Woman so much, that it has us digging deep and wondering who should play our Amazon Princess? Lynda Carter did not leave easy shoes to fill, and it took us a stretch of our imagination, but these are our top picks for the new Wonder Woman.
9. Megan Fox
After she exploded onto the scene with Transformers, people have been obsessed with seeing Megan Fox in as little clothing as possible. She's been compared to Angelina Jolie because of the striking blue eyes, brown hair, and tattoos. Of course, she's not Oscar material, but since Joss Whedon left the project, this film could very well go the way of Batman and Robin. In which case, who cares how she acts? She looks like the perfect Wonder Woman.
8. Rachel Bilson
Rachel Bilson auditiond for this role while she was still on The O.C. Seducing her geeky co-star, Adam Brody, she donned the famous one-piece and excited nerds (who actually watched The O.C.) all over the country. She definitely has a small buzz in Hollywood, especially after the success of Jumper, and would make a young, airy Wonder Woman. She would be a good choice, if they wanted an up-and-comer.
7. Angelina Jolie
The most wanted and interesting woman in Hollywood, we think Angie would make an amazing Wonder Woman. Her smoldering looks, sex appeal, and acting abilities puts her at the top of any casting lists. If there is any actress out there that could make this movie a blockbuster, it would be her. We already know from Tomb Raider that she's physically up to the job. And she would bring complexity to the character and push beyond the typical superhero movie. We think she could fit the bill, much in the way that Robert Downey Jr. fit Iron Man.
6. Jessica Alba
Okay, we admit, there might be a conflict of interest because of the Fantastic Four series, but we think Jessica Alba would make a hot Wonder Woman. She wasn't our favorite choice for Susan Storm and we think this would redeem her comic book cred. Acting-wise, we think that she's a little one-dimensional for our taste, but at least she'll look terrific in the outfit and her bubbly portrayal could give the film a wider appeal.
5. Jessica Biel
Jessica Biel has been searching for her mega-star, breakout role and this could be it. She's already got the body of an Amazon and just the announcement that she's going to strip down for Powder Blue sent the Internet into frenzy. She's still got the right type of mainstream appeal that could make this film a blockbuster. And her film acting is still relatively unknown that she could create this character with it with a clean slate.
4. Jennifer Garner
Ever since the success of Alias, Jennifer Garner has never been able to shake her reputation of being an ass-kicking siren. We doubt that there is another woman in Hollywood who could come across as tough or vulnerable as she can. Once primed to be the next Julia Roberts, Jen was on the brink on super stardom when she decided to make her family first. While it's a very down-to-Earth and noble choice for a celebrity, we think it's time for Jen to make her come back and let Ben play Mr. Mom.
3. Kristen Bell
Although she's not the first choice for filling out the famous D-cup, like some of the other actresses on the list, there is just something about Kristen that would make her an excellent choice. Perhaps it's because she is like the pretty girl at school that the nerdy guys can hang with. She is one of the most beloved women on the Sci-Fi scene, and for good reason. With her involvement with projects like Fanboys, the TV series Heroes, or the video game Assassin's Creed, there is no doubt that she has found her audience. If Comic-Con were the prom, Kristen Bell would be the prom queen. And that's why we think she'd make a great Wonder Woman.
2. Anne Hathaway
There is something about Anne Hathaway that makes us believe she's headed for super stardom. She's a classic beauty and a talented actress. We think she could elevate the role of Wonder Woman in the same way that Christian Bale did for Batman. Her acting chops and resume brings a level of credibility, while her real-life personality makes her even more attractive to movie-goers. On the flip-side, this role could propel her into being an international sensation. She's young and talented enough to build a lasting superhero franchise that is enjoyable for even the pickiest comic-book fan.
1. Scarlett Johansson
There is no denying that Scarlett Johansson is one of the hottest women in Hollywood. She's got the perfect curves to be Wonder Woman. She's not known for being a tough girl, but she could exploit her success in Lost in Translation and bring the emo to the Amazon. The producers could focus on dark character development and an awkward love connection. If anything, it would be an interesting film to watch.
