Wonder Woman Solo Movie Fancast

Kathryn Bigelow as Director
Kathryn Bigelow is an amazing director who has a (as some may not know) following to direct a Wonder Woman movie,. With films like The Hurt Locker under her directorial belt I can see why so many people choose her. She's been noted for keeping steady with action, character development and keeping a consistent tone within her films. All these qualities is what Wonder Woman needs for her first true live action film.



















Gal Gadot as Princess Diana/Wonder Woman
Gal Gadot is Wonder Woman. It's said and done and I don't plan on changing it one bit.  I don't want her to actually go by Wonder Woman though as this film will play out in different dimensions like Thor did. Princess Diana somehow someway ends up on Earth and is seen as a threat by Superman or Batman. Gotham (in Batman's case) or Luthor (in Superman's case) will brand the woman a hero and will become known by the media as 'Wonder Woman'. Gadot can pull of the badassery needed for a new-age Wonder Woman. She'll be a violent hero doing what she needs to do to protect Themyscira. No Invisible Jet, no Lasso of Truth. Sorry, just blades and hand to hand combat for this princess.



















Viggo Mortensen as Zeus
Casted due to requests for an older actor in the role of Zeus, I chose Viggo due to his exstensive filmography in great movies such as Carlito's Way and Lord of the Rings. An actor I felt could not only pull off the look but also has the credibility and prowess to play a God and not come off as if he's trying too hard. It would be great to see Viggo in a CBM especially if he's playing Hera's scandalous husband and the father to Wonder Woman. 

Lynda Carter as Hippolyta
You take the most-known Wonder Woman and you make those who pay attention nerd out by casting her as the mother of Gadot's Wonder Woman. Lynda Carter is not only a nod to the original television series but a strong actress who can no doubt holds her own on-screen.Lynda will be playing Hippolyta, the biologival mother of Wonder Woman through a cheating Zeus. Lynda will have to play someone trying to fight through the pain of being used and doing what's best for Themyscira.



















Helena Bonham Carter as Hera
The actual wife of Zeus. Helena is a strong and one of my personal favorite actresses of all time. She will be great at portraying Hera's struggle as she puts up. with Zeus' crap all the time while simultaneously showing her power as she is the Queen of the Gods. With dabbles in such films like Big Fish, Sweeney Todd and Harry Potter, Helena is truly an underrated yet appreciated actress which will create the perfect blend of high-profile and up-and-comers for this cast.
 

Rosamund Pike as Artemis
Artemis is responsible for the badass part of Wonder Woman's 'beautiful badass' appeal. Goddess of the Hunt she attended the birth of Princess Diana under Hera's request adn blessed the child with knowledge of weaponry and combat. Rosamund Pike is no stranger to these types of films as she played Queen Andromeda in Wrath of the Titans. She also has films such as Pride and Prejudice and Jack Reacher.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as Aphrodite
A foreign actress fetched atraight from the Hottest Women of 2014 list, she's the woman who blessed an infant Diana with eternal beauty and elegance. As far as her role, Aishwarya is just there to look pretty, at least for this first film. I did put thought into her being cast as I wanted to avoid cliche choices for Aphrodite such as Jessica Alba, Beyonce, etc.



















Joe Manganiello as Hercules
A demi-God and the son of Zeus, much like Aphrodite he won't be used for much in this film except eye candy. Expect more apperances though, and possibly a solo movie.



















Eric Bana as Ares
The God of War, Ares' main objective is to dispose of every deity until only he can rule. He waged a full-on war upon Diana's birth that lasted until her adulthood. He is said to be invincible and can only be killed by two mystical blades possessed by Wonder Woman. With roles in films like Troy and Star Trek, this is the only actor I feel is worthy enough to don the suit of the God of War.



















Eva Green as Circe
Wonder Woman's wicked foil known for her immortality, stunning physical beauty, a powerful command over wicked sorcery, a penchant for turning human beings into animals (like her mythological antecedent), and a delight in humiliation. Eva was my only other candidate to play Wonder Woman and I decided beforehand that the runner-up would be cast as Circe. Looking back, I made the right decision. Green is one of the most talented actresses to date. I recall being enthralled by her performance in 300:Rise of an Empire and I expect her to bring that same energy to the Wonder Woman film adaption.
