Who Would You Cast As Wonder Woman?

Lynda Carter, Olivia Munn, and three dogs dressed as Wonder Woman.

Invisible jets are about to increase an infinite percent on your TVs, because Warner Bros. TV is bringing Wonder Woman back to your living room. The studio revealed it was working on the project with Ally McBeal's David E. Kelley behind the scenes, creating an interesting topic of discussion: What the heck is David E. Kelley doing with a Wonder Woman show?

But a much more interesting topic came about in the comments section of our Wonder Woman mention: Who should play the new Wonder Woman? Let's examine the obvious and not-so-obvious candidates, and make sure you scroll all the way down for our pick.

Evangeline Lilly

Previous Experience: Kate from Lost
Pros: She's certainly hot enough.
Cons: She said she was quitting acting.

Katee Sackhoff

Previous Experience: Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica
Pros: She's got sci-fi cache! And she's a great physical fit for the role.
Cons: She's blonde!

Jennifer Garner

Previous Experience: That girl from Alias
Pros: She proved on Alias that she can kick ass.
Cons: She's a hotshot movie star now. Plus, she has a goblin-child to take care of.

Eliza Dushku

Previous Experience: Echo from Dollhouse
Pros: She's certainly hot enough. Is a good physical actress.
Cons: Not the best acting actress.

Summer Glau

Previous Experience: River from Firefly
Pros: Has a legion of stalker-like online fans.
Cons: She's a bit scrawny to play Wonder Woman, don't you think? Plus, she's a show cancellation magnet.

Kim Kardashian

Previous Experience: A sex tape.
Pros: Maybe she'd do her own stunts and hurt herself.
Cons: Everything else.

Betty White

Previous Experience: Guest Star from Everything Recently
Pros: She's the hottest thing in Hollywood right now.
Cons: Her sexiness might distract from the rest of the show.

Rachel Bilson

Previous Experience: Summer from The O.C.
Pros: She's soooooooo cutesy wootsy! Like a baby chipmunk!
Cons: Unless the new Wonder Woman overpowers criminals by being adorable, we're not sure she can pull off the gravitas the role demands.

Christina Hendricks

Previous Experience: Joan from Mad Men
Pros: Is there any other woman so wonderful?
Cons: There's not enough spandex in the universe for a top that could contain her superpowers.

Neil Patrick Harris

Previous Experience: Barney from How I Met Your Mother
Pros: He can sing! He can dance!
Cons: We're sure some lame-o will have a problem with this somewhere.

And our near-unanimous choice to play the new Wonder Woman...

Wonderful Woman, horrible Photoshop.

Aisha Tyler

Previous Experience: Lana from Archer (voice)
Pros: Every single thing about her.
Cons: Absolutely none.

  • devilspassmeby

    MONIQUE GANDERTON!!!! She looks exactly the part and she is a kick ass stunt woman!!!! She played Alia- in Smallville. MY VOTE : )

  • moroni8

    amanda peet alexandra paul carrie anne moss the women of charmed show

  • moroni8

    anne hathaway liv tyler jennifer connelly alicia silverstone keri russell julie strain

  • moroni8

    lauren graham and she can look the part and carry on a action t v show. is their a difference between drama and action was smallville drama and it really bored me

  • moroni8

    an actress but i cannot remember her name but she probably would of for sure done it and she has my vote.another actress was lindsay lohan who was serious about it.i am not so sure of who is being seriously considered

  • moroni8

    what about casting wondergirl who would that be with the original lynda carter they cast debra winger but that was the best choice of all at the time two ladies now in similar embarrassing ridiculous costumes

  • moroni8

    i also have an idea for any actress if any of them are willing to do this in a silly way and fight other actresses what would they say to eachother when they act it out

  • moroni8

    i used to think of alot of actresses for this role i only now like certain ones for this role but i could say what actresses i even like or showed me what they did to choose the ones amanda bynes of her reputation the actress that heroes show the blonde cheerleader tiffani thiessen i also say this because i think in a way of brunettes in certain roles

  • moroni8

    jenny mcarthy because of her old t v show called the jenny mcarthy show i saw her do something about wonderwoman that if she did a series of her she could do it

  • moroni8

    is her weakness a man she loves meaning that steve trevor guy. can some woman steal her man and hurt her that way and will they set a trap for her to take her down when she finds steve trevor is this show a remake of the original adventure is it going to be about world war 2 nazis

  • moroni8

    their are alot of evil people in the world today is she and is to me a woman of the old nineteen fourties during world war 2

  • moroni8

    will she meet her match will she take down every opponent will she be too much to handle will she have a power belt ripped off her and then she cannot win can she win without that power belt and if she could who could she beat

  • moroni8

    what do people like about her to have her use her powers on men for her to chase people down she cannot fly like superman or have super speed how will she catch the bad guys

  • moroni8

    i love the original adventure of the show with that hot looking outfit and villians these days in a modern way are also hot looking and sexy.in a fantasy anything can happen is she the kind of lady to do about anything people want her to do lets think this over a little the outfit may suck now with d c comics changing it

  • moroni8

    her villians must be sexy in a way of bad girls and stuff i mean if she takes her down it would appeal to men more and she would show her man the steve trevor guy from the old show what she is willing to do for him. this is ofcourse nothing but a fantasy

  • moroni8

    who would be her stunt doubles would she wear a wig like lynda carter did the wonderwoman has very long black hair she must think nicely of men and women to make it good as an example to all t v viewers i assume it will only have a pg rating the original had a g rating

  • moroni8

    does any actress really want to play her and if so who i think the actress whoever it maybe should study the heroine carefully she is a little weird and most people agree probably is because of her comicbook villians and their stories i also believe that people want this so so so much they must somehow like it and what if then if an actress has time and what if they had to replace her would they like that

  • moroni8

    does anyone here even read comic books about wonderwoman i heard that lynda carter did before she got to play her can they create comicbook villians and have her do some things but have it a modern day but with the same kind of lynda carter outfit

  • moroni8

    i also heard somewhere that they were watching the old lynda carter t v show and were trying to get ideas for a new t v series would lynda carter have the final say of who it will be can she judge the women on what she thinks is right for the role will actress carter be in the show will it be just like the old but with modern day villians with alot of action

  • moroni8

    i need more time to think about this i have heard hundreds of names of females mentioned i think this would be much harder now to decide.since so many television fans have said their choices over the last 20 years. i wish i could find some women and if they get into acting they were wonder women and then i could be in the series too they may say things also about the heroine but i do not like some things what i hear others say it would indeed be impossible to satisfy everyone and besides that no one knows how this show will go and what people like about it

  • moroni8

    are they looking for a young actress because i heard somewhere that joel silver who was in charge of the heroine said kim basinger.i think she should be between 20 and 30 and if i had a choice it would be someone who plays a heroine already and is never embarrassed of what wonderwoman does because i think all actresses would be and lynda carter was that way. is lynda carter daughter an actress too? i saw her once on television and that would give her the original lynda carter look

  • moroni8

    i would cast katie holmes or jennifer aniston the reasons are katie holmes would do i think anything they would want her to do as wonderwoman and if i were an actor i would love to be in the show with her i love this heroine and jennifer aniston because i think she has to prove that she is tough and many t v show fans think so and she has said before she is available right now

  • perspective1

    Jordana Brewster or Vanessa Marcil Giovinazzo

  • mrnich

    Taylor Cole, done and done.

  • tberger02

    Bridget Regan or Evangeline Lilly.

  • jnunes29

    Zoey deachanel. She's so similar to her sister Emily, and did you see Emily dressed as wonder woman during the Halloween episode? Wow! Zoey should be cast!

  • kit__kat88

    Eliza Dushku or Sarah Lancaster

  • Ider1031

    Tanya Memme from A&E's Sell This House. SHe's smart, beautiful,sexy, and funny. She has acting experience and she can sing..and she is Canadian! We need more Canadian Super-Heroes!!!

  • ubettergetit

    It is to bad Aisha Tyler or even a hispanic actress can't take the role but since any of them are out of the running I think from this short list I'd love to see Rachel Bilson. Also starting with such a young looking WW gives the show staying potential. Who knows could go 10 seasons like Smallville. A black haired Britney Snow could also be a good choice.

  • hyenajerk

    yvonne strahovski would be great and she looks amazing as a brunnete my top pic,Laura Vandervoort,and rose mcgowen ...and sarah lancaster...

  • Ocegues

    Neil patric harris ofcourse

  • cavorka777

    Evangelly Lilly or Megan Fox.

  • BMMTO

    Eliza Dushku, Rachel Bilson or Sophia Bush.

  • ConstantineStav

    Angelina Jolie... there I said it, not that she's ever gonna be on TV!So, why not Lucy Lawless?

  • KhodurElHussei

    Bridget Regan. The best possible candidate NO contest.

  • Andiezinha

    Evangeline Lilly, Jennifer Garner, Eliza Dushku or Summer Glau for me...

  • Silver074

    Sophia Bush, Sarah Lancaster, Evangeline Lily, or Rachel Bilson :)

  • RonAblang

    I would cast the WWE's Eve Torres. What a bod!

  • xanderodell

    Aisha Tyler? since when was wonder woman colored? why not colored you say? have you ever tried fixing your car when it's not broken? yeah, that's right. you'll f*** it up. my choice..

    Katie Cassidy
    Previous Experience: Harper's Island, Melrose Place 2010, Gossip Girl
    Pros: She fits perfectly.
    Cons: Acting skills lean toward more on villainous roles than superhero.

  • Infoxicated

    Sarah Lancaster, no question about it.http://www.sarahlancasterwebsite.com/ww-gallery/sarah-lancaster-wonder-woman1.jpg

  • RebeccaSobrin

    I think if they would make it into a Movie Jessica Alba gets my vote

  • Julanu

    Jennifer Garner of Evangeline Lilly

  • Loralee_jk

    Jennifer GarnerPrevious Experience: That girl from AliasPros: She proved on Alias that she can kick ass. Cons: She's a hotshot movie star now. Plus, she has a goblin-child to take care of. ????YOU ARE GOING TO HELL!!!Jens kids are SOO cute! and SOOO well behaved! U r a dick!

  • Loralee_jk

    ..I kinda want Megan Fox...I just think WW should be sexxy!!

  • cerberuspuppy

    Sigh. David E. Kelley? Really? So we can have Diana kvetching about her biological clock and the cute boy who works at Starbucks? What, they couldn't get Joss Whedon? Could be worse, I guess... Ugh.As for the actress, I'm honestly stumped. I can think of a few who have the perfect look, but probably not the chops, and several who probably have the chops, but not the look. I realize that the list in this article is a joke, but seriously I just don't see any of these people in the role. Some names on that list (Kim Kardashian?) are of course more infuriating than others.Since we're all shooting from the hip here, maybe Violante Placido (from the recent film "The American") if she can get the accent right. Or Michelle Ryan (from that sad pathetic Bionic Woman remake) IF it turns out that she actually can act after all. I'm not trying to be smarmy here- like I said, I really am stumped.moreless

  • turps756

    Sarah Lancaster,Eleanor "Ellie" Bartowski from Chuck. A perfect match
