Could Jessica Biel Be Playing Wonder Woman After All?

Could Jessica Biel Be Playing Wonder Woman After All?

I damn well hope so i hear you say! The lovely Miss Biel had some interesting words for MTV news...

Jessica Biels only other foray into the world of Comicbook movies was in "Blade Trinity", which is widely considered to be a bit of a let down. But would she consider returning to the genre?

“If Wonder Woman had the right script and it was really powerful and emotional and interesting, I would be into that kind of thing,” Biel told MTV News while she was promoting her upcoming 1920s comedy of manners, “Easy Virtue.”

Biel was actually rumored to be playing the role back when Joss Whedon had the reigns in 2007. And then again when the since debunked "Justice League" movie was doing the rounds.



So, the opportunity is there for Biel to give the role a second shot. The question, she said, is how strong is the script?

“I feel that sometimes the character development gets thrown to the wayside in those movies, and I’m really interested in that kind of thing,” she said. “So if both the elements could be there—the physicality and a real developed character, whether it’s a Wonder Woman thing or a Justice League thing—I’m open to it.”

When asked about a possible return to the "Blade" universe..

“I would always consider anything,” Biel said. “I had a really good time in that world. That was fun for me. I like that kind of physicality and playing a tough person who has awesome skills—like ninja skills—that’s pretty cool.”

Bucky-- Alba is hot, but she is a hot midget. Not WonderWomanly atall.

Sppppeeeaakk ooooooo Leeeee7777777nnaaaa...

I think the fact that she says she'll do it if someone writes the right script, should make someone write the right script. Please. Get her in there!

I think Biel is totally hot ~ Alba is just as (in my opinion though even hotter) hot as Biel. But neither are appropriate for Wonder Woman ~ Diana is of Greek decent so the first thing is the actress to play Wonder Woman must be either Greek/Greek decent or look as though she was. Second neither Biel or Alba is tall enough to be Wonder Woman ~ Wonder Woman is like 6' tall ~ Biel is 5'8" and Alba even shorter. You need someone at least 5'10" to play Diana. Height is not always an issue with comics characters on the screen ~ we like Jackman even though he is over 6' and Wolverine is 5'3" in the Marvel universe and 5'8" in the Ultimate Universe ~ we bought a 5'10" Keaton playing the 6'2" Batman, and a 6'+ Aflack playing 6' Daredevil and the 5'8" Downey playing 6'+ Tony Stark ~ but height was not part of what makes the character who they are. But Wonder Woman and other characters are imposing due to their height and thus height is an issue. These are what make Alba and Biel the wrong choices for the Amzaon Princess known and Wonder Woman.

Ok, The story of the Amazons may be viewed as a Greek "Myth" but i was thinking about it. 2 Years ago i saw a Documentary about the discovery of a Priestess that eluded to a Matriarchal society that indeed did have Women Warriors that rode horseback and were well known archers and large women at that. It even went so far as to mention that these women would cut one of their breast off in order to give better aim while using their bows. The thing is that these womans graves were found in the northern Mongolia area actually in the Russian territories. Maybe a faction that split , got lost or left or defended a region. The point is that they were there in number with grave and gold and pomp. Shouldn't be to hard to find online. I would but , well isn't always the travel not the destination? That being said if Wonder Woman is created or remembered because of the Greeks , then make her Greek! It is time for Humanity to put in the extra effort to retell the stories as they were intended and to lose its tendencies towards its xenophobic currencies.

Well, she says she's interested in the role, that's not bad. I like actors who care about the characters they perform, but I think there's more people interested, not her alone. If she's not tall enough, there are some tricks to make her appear larger as she is without recurrring to heels.

I IS BACK BOW!!! KNEEL BEFORE LEEE!!!

Heh heh owwww i gotta bad Hangover!

Anyways, the good thing is, shes hot, she wants to do it and i really think shes near perfect for the role! Plus shes not a big big name and not BEYONCE lol! We could have alot worst!

Actually there is this gal, well actress lol and she is perfect, its the woman in the recent PRISON BREAK with the long black hair and sleep with me blue bright eyes!!! OMG she looks like shes born for the part! PERFECT i tell ya!!! Mmmmmmmmmmm perfect! ; )

WONDERWOMAN HAS TO BE STATUESQE, GEORGEOUS..THERES BEAUTIFUL, SEXY, PRETTY, WONDERWOMAN HAS TO HAVE THESE QUALITIES TO HER, WICH MOST HOLLYWOOD ACTRESSES HAVE, BUT THEY HAVE TO HAVE A BALANCE OF BEAUTY AND BRAWN,SHE'S GOTTA KNOW HOW TO KICK ASS AS WELL AS LOOK HOT..BEIL HAS IT BUT IN MY OPINION, I WAS HOPING FOR A GREEK BEAUTY, NO NAME ACTRESS.
Betty
Betty - 5/16/2009, 7:42 AM
Shibazz-- That kind of interest and research would be awesome. I think it is asking a little much of today's pg13 movie maker though.

Jessica Biel is probably the most beautiful person in the world. Height doesn't matter at all... So many actors are short, don't you know how things work? For example, Tom Cruise is like 5'3. They just cast short people around him to make him look bigger. I could punt him across a room. He's the Misson Impossible guy, he's a bad-ass.

She has a perfect body, a gorgeous face, and she's trained in combat. She is perfect for the part.

All of you fanboys that are protesting this right now are gonna be jizzin' in your pants when the movie comes out.

Shibazz, if only the filmakers did as much research! Although, im pretty sure even the WW comics dont go into that much detail about the Amazons. Height is not an issue unless she was a midget! Biel is tall enough to pull it off. I would prefer if they cast a Greek actress too but the bottom line is, they may not find one suitable or good enough. If they dont, Biel or whoever can be made to look Greek, i mean isnt that what acting is all about? Hugh Jackman is Australian, Christian Bale is Welsh etc

"do/did some research" has to be the most widely used word on internet blogs.
