Have Patty Jenkins and Warner Bros. found their Queen Hippolyta? According to The Wrap, none other than Nicole Kidman is in talks to join Gal Gadot and Chris Pine in the DC Comics adaptation, which is set to shoot very soon.

Apparently the character she'd be playing is a "high ranking Amazonian warrior", but they don't specify whether it's Hippolyta or not, simply adding: "While Kidman’s potential role has yet to be confirmed, the Queen of the Amazons in the Wonder Woman comics is Hyppolyta, who also happens to be Diana Prince’s biological mother — though it’s unclear whether the film will remain faithful to that storyline."

Gal Gadot will be introduced as Wonder Woman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice next year, before going on to star in her solo adventure which is set for a June 23rd, 2017 release.

If this movie is anything like the Wonder Woman movie I watched on PornHub last night, then I'll be a happy camper.

OH DAMN.
I did not expect this, still just a rumour but ...

This would be a HUGE grab for a CBM.
And not just a Glenn Close-type waste of a role ... She'd be the freaking Amazon Queen!
And Kidman really does embody the beauty of Hippolyta, not to mention she's tall, like 5'11 which is perfect.

.................ummm, cool I guess, but as someone pointed out she has already been in a DC movie, a not so good one. She can do a good job probably but this doesn't really excite me, people like sean bean being added just seems run of the mill, the director really excites me, though, this movie could be really good but this is I think tied with Aquaman as my least anticipated DCEU movie.

I'm getting a Clash of the Titans vibe from this, and not in a good way.

Kidman is old and busted and not much of an actress. So many better choices...

Hmm, and impressive catch if they manage to get her.

"yikes white washing again"

Some people have some weird definitions of what's white, and what isn't
