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.

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

[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).

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.

Well this post made me go from six to midnight.

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

Hell, she already has!

[wonderwomanhero]

She would be perfect as Poison Ivy.

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




retro's perfect Pamela Isley:


retro's perfect Diana of Themiscyra:

[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.

[akodo_rokku]

Alan Tudyk as Ted Kord!

[timgueugen]

Anyone else see the title of this and think "Who?" Of course that probably has to do with me having seen a grand total of 5 minutes of Mad Men before changing the channel.

[kusonaga]

While I wouldn't mind seeing Christina Hendricks in the Wonder Woman outfit (yowza), I don't think she looks the part. As has been noted, she's not particularly athletic or muscular, something that is required for the role.

This just in: Christina still smoking hot at the Emmy's red carpet.

Back to you, Proteus.

Zoe Saldana for Lois Lane. Obviously Lois has appeared on the big screen before, but still. Zoe Saldana is my Lois Lane. She's got the eyebrow/sarcasm/take-no-prisoner-snark down pat.

Come one Folks! Where my Marvels at!

[proteus_lives]

Zoe Saldana-Misty Knight!

Iron First-Chris Pine

Luke Cage-Old Spice Guy

Colleen Wing-The Engineer chick from Firefly

[glprime]

Black Canary: Sarah Chalke (not an action star, but I love her presence and vocal talents; she can make a great assertive and feisty Dinah Lance)
Green Arrow: Either James Marsters or Josh Dallas (who played Fandral in THOR).

[baihu]

Usagi Yojimbo played by...Roger Rabbit!

[apexpredator]

If we're doing this thing, I'll certainly chime in on my personal fans. Jon Hamm was a pitch perfect Lex Luthor in the Funny or Die skits, and even more so if he actually shaved his freakin' head.

Mr. Terrific I'd see now as perhaps Michael Jai White, or I used Dennis Haysbert in an RPG of mine. Haysbert may be a bit old to play Michael these days, but why not?

I haz PLENTY more if anybody's interested. Including my personal thought of Eric Dane as Catman. Shirtless, egg cooking McSteamy cutting up folk and punching lions? YAS PLEEZ.

[ravenous_raven]

For Diana, I'd say Jaimie Alexander. Someone suggested it here and having seen "Thor,"' I agree. Plus there's also the fact that she already gets/ the character.

[schrodingers_fangirl]

Naomi Watts would make a perfect Sue Storm.
