It's completely dependent on how well "Superman Returns" does at the box office. If it's a smash then the suits at Warner will decide that it's ok to use an unknown. If it tanks or doesn't do as well as expected they will decide the reason is lack of "star power" and insist on an A list actress for the role.
Now who *that* would be is a good question, most young A-listers seem to be the blonde teeny rocker type. Kate Beckinsale is the only gal I can think of with any name recognition but even that is pushing it.

I think Morena is an excellent choice. She's got the body to play the part, but also Wonder Woman, mythology-wise wasn't she supposed to be related to the Greek Goddesses? Wasn't she the goddess Diana or something like that? I'm fuzzy on all that DC mumbo-jumbo. But if that's true, I think Morena's got the "Greek" look goin' on.

Halley berrie played both storm and cat woman.
(not like that was successful really... but she did)

Yeah and that worked out so well for Catwoman. Methinks that studios are just not dying to copy that formula again.

Come on.....
I have nothing against Morena, but I think Joss should give equal time and let the rest of the gals audition for it also...
Who knows...Maybe Jewel could pull it off as well
Maybe let Summer give it a go....She's got the moves.......
And Let us NOT Discount Gina!!!!
Everything old is now open to new Interpreation
(Reference Battlestar Galactica)
Why does WW have to be a tall curvey White chick?
Gina has an AWESOME Bod and I think she would give a fresh new feel to an old classic.....
Did you ever get the feeling that your purpose in life was to serve as a warning to others?

Gina's great, but she'll be 40 something in no time. I think for a pontential franchise starter, the studio heads want someone a lot younger.

Halley Berrie played Storm in X-men. She lived up to that cartoon character very well, then she played Catwoman.
Halley did a great job as Catwoman. The movie failed not because of her, but because of the script/story, and that stupid suit she wore, but Halley herself did great.
This reminds me of that dreadful Supergirl movie that they brought out back in 1984. They found the right girl to play Supergirl. The suit that she wore was perfect, and it looked good on her...She WAS Supergirl, but the plot! OMG!!!! The movie was ruined because the plot was beyond stupid, but the woman who played Supergirl was perfect. The same goes for Halley Berry in Catwoman.
I hope to God Joss doesnt screw this Wonder Woman up. The good point to all of this is that Joss seems to like writing about women characters ( about damned time!) and it appears that his characters are always warrior women in one way or another, which is good, but it always seems that the women he picks are always young, and looking likes they need to eat something called food...Buffy, River etc. Way too skinny.
Joss, if you are reading this, please, oh pleeezzzeess don't screw up Wonder Woman...if you do, I might have to hunt you down and eat cornflakes out of your skull.

Strangely enough I thought Halley Berrie was a horrible Storm. She doesn't project even a fraction of the strength and toughness the sometimes leader of the X-men is supposed to have. On the other hand if Gina Torres had the role, she would have given Storm some gravitas, and some stone cold ass-kicking foxy believability!
