Haywire star wants to play Wonder Woman

[JD]

I just read a story on Blastr about how Haywire star and MMA fighter Gina Carano wants to play WW. I'll admit, all I've seen of her so far is the Haywire trailer, and it's TV ads, but based on those I could see her being a kick ass WW. The movie has actually gotten pretty good reviews, so apparently she can act. Based on looks, and ass kicking ability alone I think I'd put her up with Cobie Smulders as one of my favorite Wonder Woman candidates.

Actually most of the reviews I've seen say that her acting is fairly weak, but the movie just does a good job hiding that behind all the action.

Still though, she definitely has the right LOOK for Wonder Woman.

 

[JD]

Ah, I pretty much just skimmed the reviews on Metacritic, and I didn't see anybody saying thing about bad acting in any of the quotes.

 

[Agent Richard07]

She's not an ideal choice, but I can still see a bit of Wonder Woman in her.

 

[StarTrek1701]

She's very pretty, hot and a very, very good fighter. Been a fan of hers for years. But Wonder Woman? Nope. She doesn't have the right look at all.

Make Erica Durance WW and be done with it.

WW Harry's Law

^^Nah, she's still Lois to everyone.

 

[Jetfire]

She isn't my Lois!

They need to search LONG & HARD for the right WW.

I still think the actress who played Sif in THOR would be perfect for WW. She's got the comic book warrior goddess thing down.

 

[JD]

Oh, yeah, I always forget about Jaime Alexander. I've been a huge fan since she first appeared in Kyle XY, and I loved her as Sif in Thor.

The other thing I found interesting in the article is the fact that Soderbergh found the idea of a Wonder Woman movie "interesting". Do you think he could pull it off? I haven't really seen any of his movies, so I'm not sure if he could do a decent superhero movie.

 

[Greg Cox]

Soderbergh likes to stretch and try different things, so maybe he'd be intrigued by the challenge. Alas, he's also talking about retiring from filmmaking for awhile.

 

[Professor Zoom]

I think every actress in Hollywood wants to be Wonder Woman.

Make Erica Durance WW and be done with it.

WW Harry's Law

No. The sooner the cast of Smallville is forgotten, the better.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

Forget Carano, let's get a real ass-kicker to play Wonder Woman!




No?

 

[Obiwanshinobi]

^Just say NO to Steroids!

Although, she really is Amazonian.

 

[Captaindemotion]

Oh, the innuendo. Shame this is a PG board.

That talk was going on and off. And, it lasted just under one...two months?

He's not going to retire.

The plan wasn't to retire when the talk first began. He has a slate of movies he wants to do first.

I don't know. In a recent issue of EW, he was still talking about finishing up his next four movies, then moving on to something besides filmmaking.

Whether he'll actually do so is anyone's guess, but he was still talking about "Phase 3" of his career just a few weeks ago.

She'll have to learn to act first, but I she has the physicality for the role.

She does if it's WW drawn by Adam Hughes
