"Masters of the Universe" Film in Development (Again)
- Thread starter Danja
- Start date
Veronica isn't in it. But the actress who played her on Riverdale is. Its almost like Camila Mendes is a working actress or something.
And? Every actor has a first time.
Did she specifically say at some point that she wouldn't ever do these kind of movies?
There are a lot of actors who work for decades before they pop up in a big genre movie, but based on her Wikipedia filmography she's only been acting since 2017, and based on what Santa Kang said this isn't even her first genre movie.
Lynda Carter: She actually came in THIRD for Wonder Woman. The producers cast Cathy Lee Crosby for the original two-hour pilot movie (which was never picked up for series).
Joanna Cassidy was cast next, but she opted to focus on her feature film career (during the mid-seventies, going from feature films to TV was seen as a step down).
Lynda Carter was cast after Joanna. The pilot was revamped and reshot -- and the rest is history.
Hugh Jackman -- A last-minute replacement for Dougray Scott (who was originally cast as Wolverine).

oh ya i forgot she was in palm springs lol although she was not like one of the main characters in the movie but she was still in the movie as a supporting actress
Cagney & Lacey had three Cagneys, all on screen. Loretta Swit in the TV movie (she was still doing MASH), Meg Foster in season 1 (CBS was worried viewers would think the character was a lesbian because the actress played her tough and aggressive), and Sharon Gless the rest of the way.
I thought the Cathy Lee Crosby version of Wonder Woman was a totally separate project that came out years before the Lynda Carter series.
Didn't they even film some scenes with Scott, or was it just they had to rush Hugh Jackman in right before filming started?
It was a different concept (They had Wonder Woman wearing a white jumpsuit -- it was the comics' nod to the then-trendy women's liberation movement at the time.)
I saw the movie on late-night TV years ago. They had Ricardo Montalban playing the villain. (God, the man could play villains. Benedict Cumberbatch, you're no Ricardo Montalban.)
It sounds like a rush job (Dougray injured himself while filming Mission Impossible 2 and he wasn't able to play Wolverine).

Crosby wore a red, white and blue uniform. Wonder Woman’s white outfits were from the late sixties and early seventies. (Early issues had her in other colors and often not jumpsuits) Though Wonder Woman switched back to her traditional costume and regained her powers prior to the Crosby movie. It's possible the Crosby film was developed during the powerless/jumpsuit era)
While Cassidy was good in Blade Runner I think we dodged a bullet there. She always plays with a hard edge that isn't really Wonder Woman (well at least when I was reading WW).
That being said, by 79 she was back on TV as the star of the short-lived 240-Robert (kind of a CHiPs meets Emergency ripoff).
The Cathy Lee Crosby Wonder Woman came out in '74. It was supposed to be a pilot for a series, but the studio ultimately decided to go a different direction entirely with the Wonder Woman series, so we got the Lynda Carter version the next year. Cathy Lee Crosby says she was initially approached to reprise her role in the '75 version but declined it. I've never heard that the role was offered to Joanna Cassidy. As I understand it, Joanna Cassidy auditioned but Lynda Carter won the role outright.
It starred John Bennett Perry (Matthew's dad) and a young Mark Harmon.
Obviously, you've erased 20-25 years from it.This was 25-30 years ago.
My memory isn't the greatest!
I remembered Harmon was in it. I forgot Perry’s dad was.
