Gilda

Let's look at the qualities she has to have.

First, she needs to be tall with a killer bod. According to the encyclopedia of the DCU, Wonder Woman is 6 feet tall and weighs 165 lbs, and is generally drawn as being very muscular, but in a feminine way. Obviously, this is unrealistic for a live action film.

Terry Ferrel has the height, as does Famke Janssen; I don't really see any woman being "too tall" but many mentioned are clearly too short to be an Amazon. Courtney Cox, Eliza Dushku, for example.

She needs to be young, able to play in her 20's. Wonder Woman, Pre-Crisis was in her 50's, but she's immortal, so physically she needs to be at about the age of physical maturity, or in her early 20's.

She needs to be athletic. She's a warrior.

She needs to able to play innocent. The current Wonder Woman is, I believe, still a virgin; Pre-Crisis she got it on with Steve Trevor and eventually married him and became a goddess.

It has to be a relative unknown. Any "name" actess brings baggage to the role. Go with a tall, athletic, young actress for whom this will be her first major role.

I think you are on the money here... Just look at the Christopher Reeve Superman... who was he before Superman? And yet, he seems to define the roll in many ways...


...although I have a soft spot for George Reeves Superman...

I would like to say Charlize Theron, however with her doing Aeon Flux.....

My requirements would be a good dramatic actress that shows humor in her work, a good body but able to be physical. Lucy Lawless fits the bill but she will forever be typecast as Xena.

So it would have to be an actress not known for this type of role.

That brings my 3 top choices to be:

Neve Campbell (maybe too washed up)
Halle Barry (maybe too old)
Selma Hayek (maybe too ethnic)

Neve Campbell isn't quite right... IMO
Halle Barry has been tarred with Catwoman...
Selma Hayek is about as tall as a potted plant.

what about Rachel Weisz?
There is a pretty nice photoshopped pic of her at the site below to boot.

Lucy Lawless would be my first choice, but I could definately live with Famke Janseen or Terri Farrel as well.
