I'd prefer to see someone completely new. It's a pity to me that people want to stay with the same actors from shows they like.
I love Morena to bits, but as lovely as she is, she's by no means an Amazon Princess. Keyword here being "Amazon."
I think Gina would be great in that role.
As far as the ethnicity hang-up goes, I don't know that fanboys would object too much. All most of them will see is big, beautiful woman before them. However, take a look at Catwoman, Sue Storm (Fantastic Four) and Harvey Dent (Batman); those are three characters off the top of my head that change in both comics, TV and movies, and I don't recall much out-cry.

Morena is certainly lovely enough, and no doubt she could buff up if necessary. In the spirit, if not the letter, of Wonder Woman, I would think that presence would matter more than height, and she has that in spades. Gina would be fantastic also. And she would certainly look great in the clothes! I have had a few other thoughts as well, but I mainly hope Joss gets who he wants for the character as he writes her.
And while we're on the subject, if the movie is going to use the Steve Trevor character--I vote for Nathan! He's got all the skills for the perfect Whedonesque character--and he looks great in uniform!!

as soon as i heard that joss was doing wonder woman, i just kept thinking: "gina torres, gina torres..." she's an amazonian goddess. it's perfect. and who cares if she doesn't look exactly like the comic book wonder woman? she's lovely & amazing.

Anybody thought about whether Summer could be WW?
Just a thought, she has got the moves.

I don't think Morena's right for the role. And Summer and Eliza Dushku and Gellar are all too small. Actually, I think Katherine Heigl would be a really good choice.
I'm sure there are a lot of people in Hollywood with some good casting ideas (including Whedon). Hopefully the best one wins out.

I vote for Nathan as Steve Trevor too! He'd be great. I doubt it's going to happen. I don't think Joss would have that much pull in casting the parts. There was this article, which is a bit old but hey whatever works:

Gina would rock, however I was under the impression that it was an origins type story, so the actress or character was younger. Probably mid twenties, that sort of thing.

I think that Morena has that ageless quality and look of wisdom that a 1000 year old would require, although Gina does have the height and look of an amazon.
It's a toss up for me.

Uh...perhaps you didn't read any of the outcry against Jessica Alba as Sue Storm, but it even made it to these boards. I'm not even a fan of the Fantastic 4 comics and I agreed she didn't look the part enough. These characters are comic book icons. You're not gonna get a 300 pound, hispanic superman to go over well. However, if we are throwing out the looking the part department I'd rather have Nathan Fillion play Wonder Woman. That guy's just plain awesome at anything he does.

I read a JW interview about a year ago where he basically said something along the lines of "Charisma Carpenter will be doing a reading for WW, of course."
I actually like the idea of her in the role, but I doubt that it would happen. As for Morena, I don't know, I've never seen her in anything else so I've no idea what she could do. All I can imagine is Inara playing WW.
Anyway, I hope we find out sometime in the soon.
