Having yet to see John Carter, I can't offer up my own opinion about Collins portraying DC's amazonian princess but I will say that I thought her portrayal of Silver Fox in X-Men Origins: Wolverine was one of the few bright spots. Of course, let's not forget that
Nicolas Winding Refn is passionate about Wonder Woman and has stated that he would like to place Christina Hendricks in the title role. Also, recent breakout star and MMA fighter
Gina Carano has also generated some buzz about putting on the classic tiara and bracelets. And let's just all try to forget about that
Wonder Woman television pilot starring Adrianne Palicki.
Wonder Woman is a fictional character, a DC Comics superheroine created by William Moulton Marston and H. G. Peter. She first appeared in All Star Comics #8 (December 1941). The Wonder Woman title has been published by DC Comics almost continuously except for a brief hiatus in 1986.
Wonder Woman is a warrior Princess of the Amazons (based on the Amazons of Greek mythology) and was created by Marston, an American, as a "distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to a world torn by the hatred of men." Known in her homeland as Diana of Themyscira, her powers include superhuman strength, flight (even though the original Wonder Woman did not have this ability), super-speed, super-stamina, and super-agility. She is highly proficient in hand-to-hand combat and in the art of tactical warfare. She also possesses animal-like cunning skills and a natural rapport with animals, which has been presented as an actual ability to communicate with the animal kingdom. She uses her Lasso of Truth, which forces those bound by it to tell the truth, a pair of indestructible bracelets, a tiara which serves as a projectile, and, in some stories, an invisible airplane.
