Deadline reports that there's a reboot of Sheena: Queen of The Jungle headed to the big screen courtesy of Millennium Films. The studios is seemingly hoping to cash-in on the massive success of Warner Bros.' Wonder Woman, which is now ranked as the fifth highest-grossing superhero movie of all time in North America.
Sheena actually predates Diana by four years, as she was the first female comic book character to receive her own title way back in 1938. The character was basically a female take on Tarzan: an orphan raised by animals who grew up to become a force for good in the jungle.
Sheena has been depicted in live-action before, first by Irish McCalla in a 1955 TV series, then by Tanya Roberts in a 1984 film, and finally by by Geena Lee Nolin in a short-lived 2000 TV reboot.
Sheena: Queen of The Jungle is currently set for a 2018 shoot. Be sure to share your casting suggestions with us in the comments section.
