Bollywood Star To Play Wonder Woman?
I haven’t posted much up to this point about Joss Whedon’s upcoming Wonder Woman movie, mainly because… well, I am not that interested in it. There have been some casting rumours floating around out there, but nothing that really seemed to have any substance to it. I mean, Sandra Bullock? Come on! But now someone over at sliceofscifi is reporting that the tiara and lasso may in fact be taken up by Bollywood hottie, Priyanka Chopra. Personally I think this would be great, because Wonder Woman should definitely have an exotic beauty about her. The only question is whether or not Ms. Chopra is up for all the action requirements of such a film. Apparently this also disproves rumours that Morena Baccarin (Inara from Firefly) had a lock on the role. But was that seriously a possibility or was it just some Whedon fanboy’s wet dream?

Casting rumours!!
Seriously, does anybody care about Wonder Woman? I’d imagine them having a pretty hard time finding any semi-known actress to play in it since its so ridicoulous.
Posted by Henrik on June 28th, 2006Not sure how much of a rumor this is. IMDB has it as “in negotiations”. I’m not sure how much I like this. I really was leaning towards Morena.
Posted by themarina on June 28th, 2006i could care less who plays wonder woman, but they are heading into the right direction, you have to get an unknown to do it.
Posted by Chopper on June 29th, 2006A hottie Indian actress will seal the deal. Best to keep this exotic and unique. If it ends the way my imagination is allowing me to, it can be at the very least a cult classic.
