I don't know if Joss will get the final word here. Big studios like seeing big figures. They know that Linsay Lohan already has a market that she will bring with her name. If you try to sell Morena next to Linsay the studio is just going to laugh. I'm a little scared here.

I would be so torn if this happens. I really want to see what Joss comes up with, but I just couldn't see some moron playing any role that Joss has written. You have to have some acting chops to deliver Joss dialogue. Ugh

I'm in the Morena for Wonder Woman camp too, though I do think LiLo might be able to pull off Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark, I mean. The modern jeans and T-shirt version, not the old Donna Troy bell-bottomed tights one).

(Of course, the current WG has a pretty involved origin story, one that requires Diana to have been around for over a year [in order to have befriended Helena Sandsmark, Cassie's mom]. Plus, WG's only really interesting IMHO when Superboy's around for her to play off of, and that means a whole other bag of gummy-worms.)

Okay, I had heard about Summer Glau possibly being cast as Wonder Woman, but hadn't heard about Morena. I did some searching and found this little article on Iofilm.co.uk...

"There was clearly a lot of camaraderie amongst the cast, good-natured banter batted back and forth and they laughed at each other's jokes, which is always a good sign. There was a lot of male love in the room for Summer Glau, an ex-ballet dancer who plays River Tam and who trained to do 95% of her character's stunts. Joss (we're on first name terms now) will be making Wonder Woman next, and I wouldn't be gasping in surprise if Summer dons the spangly hot pants and armbands. Although she's a bit short to convince as an Amazon."

And on IDon'tLikeItThatWay.com...

"Now that writer/director Joss Whedon has wrapped Serenity, his full attention has turned to Wonder Woman and finishing the first outline and the story's basic structure. No word has surfaced on casting, but there are some reports that Morena Baccarin and Summer Glau are now the two leading candidates. Both actresses fit the role physically and both worked with Whedon on Firefly and Serenity. Other reports have Katherine Hiegl in the lead. Other reports say that I wore a Wonder Woman Halloween outfit until I was 13, but whoever says that is a god damn liar, and can't prove it despite what they say. That video of a boy spinning around with a golden lasso could be anyone, and to be honest, I was really more into Catwoman."

My feeling on this is that Morena looks more the part of WW, but Summer's dancing background would probably make her better for the fight scenes and such.

If wishes were horses, we'd all be eatin' steak.

I like Lindsay in her place as teen queen. She's not ready for anything more. I think Morena looks the part if she can get a little more muscle. As far as Summer I love her with all my heart but she doesn't look like wonderwoman at all. Although the charchter could use a revamp sp?

On behalf of tall women, if anyone shorter than 5'8" tall and less than 130 lbs gets the roll, I will personally stomp the crap out of the Hollywood ASSMUNCH who casts some little anerexic twig as an AMAZON!

How 'bout Gina Torres as Wonder Woman? Okay, black Wonder Woman is a departure, but she's got the Amazonian 'tude.

Well I'm desperate to be Mal's copilot but that is also never gonna happen.

Morena would definately be my first choice for Wonder Woman, who is one of my all time favorite comic book characters! I would have to say that if Lindsey Lohan were cast however I might have to boycott the movie on principal. I am sure Joss has more sense then that!

Much as I hate to say it, I seriously doubt Joss has the clout to cast someone as relatively unknown as Morena or Summer for such a high-profile project. He may not even get a lot of say into who gets the part.

This is a tentpole movie, which will have a lot of cash (both in terms of budget, and marketing)riding on it. Add to that the fact that female-led action films don't have a very good track record at the box office.

So, regardless of how good Joss' script is (or isn't, who knows?), I imagine this is one that the studio is going to play as safe as they can. Which usually means putting the biggest name possible in the role.

I hope it's not Lohan. I'd totally get behind a Wonder Woman starring Jennifer Connelly, as she's possibly my favorite woman in the world (on the list of people I DON'T know personally), but it doesn't really seem like her kind of role.

If not, toss her into the trash can w/ Paris Skankton.
You're right about the weight loss, but that doesn't mean she's doing drugs.

There's no hiding the fact that the girl loves to party. Maybe not in the Tara Reid level, but then who is ? I'm not here to gossip, but Barry Bonds says he never used steroids either. I'm just saying that those who really know probably won't talk....'till their book comes out.

I thought about this some more,and I'm less inclined to think LL is right for the part. She's not old enough, for one, and Lucy Lawless it too old( but still smokin' hot too ).

So I really don't know. Morena is damn sexy, and could act the part, but could she pull off the physical part ? I know River could, but there are questions about her as well. Easy on the eyes, for sure, but an Amazon warrior? Then again, why not ? she doesn't fit the '70's version, but look at what was done w/ Battlestar Galactica..... sometimes the updated version is better.

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss
