I thought Jessica Biel might make a good Wonder Woman, but yeah Morena could fit the bill, she has that who regal thing going on. And she looks the part too.

Alba- she can bring in the box office that is why they are thinking her- that and she is so damn pretty-even if as an actress she is- mheh...

Its too bad Gina is too 'old' to play WW ( she could play her now but the are looking for someone on the young side so the can believably do a trilogy), because she has the acting chops, the hotness and the presence to play her.

'Might have been on the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Sorry to bump this, but I *must* redeem myself.

#1. Wonder Woman should have been made 12 years ago
and she should have been SEAN YOUNG.

#2. Since JENNIFER CONNLEY has gone got herself all
emaciated, she's out too.

#3. MORENA BACCARIN is the only logical choice!
I thought an "unknown" would be best. I forgot that
to the Peanut Gallery Morena *is* an unknown.

MORENA BACCARIN IS WONDER WOMAN!!
DO YOU HEAR ME HOLLYWOOD??

I think it's got to be Morena or Lauren Graham. Comic chops are a must for any Whedon script.

My sister suggested Lauren Graham, which isn't really that bad of a choice but I think Morena would be better.

Woah, weird.

You're not my sister are you?

No, not the last time I checked. That's weird...

It would be nice if they picked a Wonder Woman who isn't quite so, uh, white. She is supposed to be an Amazon princess.

Then again, DC Comics conveniently neglected the details of the mythology when they made Wonder Woman. After all, what kind of Amazon woman doesn't use a bow and hasn't cut off her right breast! Geez! No wonder I prefer Marvel comics.

I'm sure Morena could do it, providing she's up for the action sequences. I don't recall Inara doing any serious fighting, so it's hard for me to picture.

I just dont see Morena being cast as an ass-kicking super-hero. Shes definately got the pretties but not the feminine braun. Has anyone else thought about using Summer Glau or Gina Torres instead? Gina has the definitive amazonian appeal to her yet we all know Summer can perform some amazing fight scenes. That would be a tough pick.

Since Ive mentioned the other girls I might as well bring Jewel into this. Kaylee as WonderWoman is just a thought a cant fathom: it would destroy my perception of her everytime I watch the series. Dont get me wrong, I love Jewel's acting but she portrays Kaylee so well that Its hard for me to think of Jewel acting in any other way. Come to think of it, Im sure most of us feel the same way about all the girls from the series in general.

I'll be in my bunk.

I don't think Inara did any major fighting either, except in Shindig where she tried to teach Mal to sword fight. thought Morena did well with that action sequence also in the action sequence in Serenity in the "temple". With a bit of trainging, I think she will make a great WonderWoman.

My husband is hoping for Salma Hayek though.
My hope is for Morena

Having met Morena in RL, I can tell you -- she's a bird: very slender and delicate. However, she's pretty tall and "plays" much larger on screen. That old saying about the camera adding ten pounds is quite true.

Don't forget that a cinematographer can do a lot of tricks with lighting and camera angles, too. If she got the role, I think she could be believable as WW. Who is, after all, a comic book character!

IMHO, Summer is just too small. She's much shorter than Morena. She certainly demonstrated her kickass chops in Serenity, though.

I totally agree that Gina would be awesome.

You need to get the Wonderfalls DVD set. Jewel plays a TOTALLY different character in that series (three episodes plus a teaser in a fourth) and absolutely nails it. Still, I don't see her as WW either.

Oh, and by the way, Aerin (who said that Morena is too white to play an Amazon woman): you do know that she's Brazilian, don't you? Hmmm... Brazil -- Amazon -- Brazil -- Amazon. That sorta rings a bell...

I don't disagree on any particular point.
