Christina Hendricks would like to play Wonder Woman

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

Well, what do you think of that?

Edit: I got to thinking and here is a question for my fellow S_Ders.

Think of a comic book character that has NOT been portrayed on the big screen and tell us which actor/actress/CGI robot should play them.

I get us started. He may have aged out of the role but Neil Patrick Harris as Speedball!

Odin bless any actor or actress going after comic book role but Christina, come on. You know what DC female character you're destined to play.




If there is any leading lady who could wear the boob-window with pride.

. . . I don't really see her as the athletic type necessary for Wonder Woman. Nor do I think she's tall enough, but whatever.

[darkknightjrk]

You know, maybe it's because of her playing a character from the 60s, but I totally see Hendricks as more of a Golden Age version of the character.

Overall, I think she could make for a good WW--she can definitely fill out the costume, and she is a mad awesome actress who would make the role sing.

[darkknightjrk]

Which is partially why I thought a Golden Age version of WW might fit her better--back then, she was smaller, and while not as stacked as Hendricks, was certainly not as toned as she is in modern interpretations.

Meh, I'd rather it was someone who looked like Wonder Woman.

[aaron_bourque]

Lots of people have lots of opinions on what Wonder Woman looks like.

[thatnickguy]

Well, she's a better choice then Megan Fox. Then again, Michael J. Fox would be a better choice than Megan Fox.

Other actors to play roles? Hm.

-I always thought Steve Buscemi would make an AWESOMELY creepy Mad Hater.
-James Marsden as Jesse Custer (Preacher). This was talked about years ago, before the first X-Men movie. People said he looked too young. I'd say he's just about the right age, now.
-Neil Patrick Harris as The Flash (Wally).

[kenn_el]

I always thought Christina in 'Mad Men' would make a great Barbara Gordon.

[maridee42]

oooh. I have Thoughts.

Either Gina Torres or Angelina Jolie as Wonderwoman. Sorry, Christina, but they've got this warrior vibe that I haven't seen from you. Maybe Oracle or Poison Ivy?

I'm a little in love with the idea of Zachary Levi as Nightwing!Dick Grayson. And I keep hearing that Alona Tal would be a great Stephanie Brown.

And I know we already have a cast Scarecrow, but I've always thought that Michael Emerson would do a creepily good job of portraying him.

[omgwtflolbbqbye]

I always though Angelina Jolie would have been the most obvious choice to play Wonder Woman if a WW movie were made in the last 10 years cause of her experience as an 'action girl', plus her celebrity baggage could be a plus in this instance, but at the same time, I wouldn't want to see her in the role just cause it's such an obvious choice... I think she's semi-retire now anyways.

I could easily see Gina Torres as a fantastic choice to play Hyppolita or Phillipus though.

Well this post made me go from six to midnight.

[proteus_lives]

I had to ponder that one for a moment.

Well done Sir.

[proteus_lives]

Trufax: Steve Buscemi did play the Mad Hatter(Wonderland) in a SNL skit some years back and he was delightfully creepy.

Course, creepy isn't exactly outside of his comfort zone.

[darkknightjrk]

I thought of that too, especially older Babs as Oracle.

[omgwtflolbbqbye]

I'd like Michael Rosenbaum to play live action Wally just for the hell of it.

And a time machine to get a young Clancy Brown for Luthor...

Also C.C.H. Pounder for Waller.

Are there any other DCAU V.O. actors who bore a passing physical resemblance to the characters they portrayed?

[thatnickguy]

In layman's terms:

BOING. =D

I don't care if I don't have a penis. I'm using that.

"...wear the boob window with pride."

Hell, she already has!

[wonderwomanhero]

She would be perfect as Poison Ivy.

[retro_nouveau]

Stop...
Stop...
Stop me if you've heard these before.




retro's perfect Pamela Isley:


retro's perfect Diana of Themiscyra:

[wonderwomanhero]

Will you be my lesbian lover?

[akodo_rokku]

"I make race cars out of my own poop!" "That's not mad... that's... just creepy."

There are certain lines you never forget.

[darkblade]

The problem with casting Lawless as Diana is that when you combine her with Amazon everyone's first thought is Xena and that's a hard image to shake. She single handily replaced Red Sonja as the female sword and sorcery warrior hero for an entire generation.

[celestialchild]

I haven't seen her acting, but appearance-wise she could look the part.

Still, she's not the interpretation of Wonder Woman I would want them to go with.

Alan Tudyk as Ted Kord!
