Who will forget the Amazonian Princess known to mortals as Wonder Woman is set to the big screen come Justice Leagues ( 2015 ), with much of the character's onscreen success depending on proper casting.
1. Morena Baccarin- is no stranger to playing women blessed with other worldly beauty, as the exotic and sensual Inara Serra in Joss Whedon's Firefly ( 2002 ), the last of the Ori in Stargate SG-1, and the leader of an invading alien race in V ( 2009 ). Since Diana of Themyscira is a human, not an alien entity, the role would actually be less of a stretch than usual.
Baccarin has since found stability with Showtime's Homeland, so no one's doubting that she could pull off Wonder Woman. Her built-in fan base 9 and no doubt an endorsement from (Whedon) would certainly help sell the casting.
2. Gina Carano- is an Actress with a knack for hand-to-hand combat ( and looks every bit as disarming ) are hard to come by, so when MMA fighter Gina Carano was cast as the lead in Steven Soderbergh's Haywire ( 2011 ), it didn't take long for Wonder Woman fans to start drumming up support.
Carano's performance silenced those who thought her lack of experience would be distracting, and landed her roles in the upcoming Fast & Furious 6, and the all-female version of the Expendables. Could Wonder Woman be next?
While she is sure to garner attention fromWarner Bros., unless the studio is going for a hard-hitting and brutal action movie, Carano is a long shot. Then again, she and Henry Cavill have recently revealed that they're an item; if we were the suspicious type, we might wonder how they met. Perhaps there's some truth to those rumors of a Wonder Woman cameo in Man of Steel after all...
3. Gemma Arterton - It's no secret that Gemma Arterton's filmography so far has been less than stellar, critically if not financially. BUt while the films she's appeared in may have been aiming low, nobody seems to have informed her of that. The most recent example being her role as the titular sister in Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters ( 2013 ).
Arterton has, so far, made a career out of elevating scripts with strong performances aided by her not-unpleasant looks. But if given a solid character to play - like, say, Wonder Woman, we have no doubt she'd convincingly sell the role. Or at the very least, welcome the challenge.
Since the drawbacks to casting established actresses with mass appeal ( Jessica Biel, Kate Beckinsale ) in the role is the difficulty in suspending disbelief, Arterton is the best of both worlds. She's stood out in problematic blockbusters already, but lacks a role that has come to define her - yet.
4. Bridget Regan - casting Wonder Woman may sound like a tall order, but if you ask the online fan communities, Bridget Regan may be the name you hear more than any other. While that tends to be a sign of enthusiast getting ahead of themselves, in this case the argument is a compelling one.
Regan's work on Legend of the Seeker ( 2008 ) is the main evidence of her ability to do Diana Justice: a medieval-fantasy adventure series casting Regan as the last of her order, in a quest to vanquish evil through swords and sorcery ( with a dash of romance for flavor ). It's not easy to hold one's own in battle and dialogue, but over the course of the series two series, Regan created one well-rounded warrior woman.
A relative unknown with two years experience playing a similar role could be the direction the studio wishes to take. If Regan wins the role, skeptics should rest easy: Diana is in good hands with this fan-favorite.
5. Lynn Collins - American Actress. She made television appearances in True Blood and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and is recognized for her roles in films such as X - men Origins: Wolverine and John Carter.
6. Jaimie Alexander- American Actress best known for portraying Jessi on the TV series Kyle XY and Sif in the 2011 superhero film Thor.
Choose your bet for the new cast of Wonder Woman in Big Screen.
