A few years ago, at Comic Con, Lake Bell dropped something that made fans go wild, she said
"I'll be honest, I think I'd make a great Wonder Woman. So if anyone out there is listening…". Fans reacted pretty well, they didn't boo or throwing tomatoes at Lake. Fast forward 2 years later and a similar situation unfolded last night while the 34-year-old actress promoted her newest film
Black Rock, Lake said that she would still love to play Wonder Woman.
Thank you, that's awesome! That is a secret dream of mine. I said it so randomly at ComicCon then it was definitely a thing for a second. It's so funny because you say those things in passing, stupidly… 'Cause I was there for comedy, I wasn't there for anything else, but it was at ComicCon so people were like, "Oh, wait a second, Lake Bell's making a play for something." But yeah, it's totally a fantasy to be a superhero and to kick some f**kin' ass. I mean, I think growing up I thought she was the most remarkable person ever, so it's more nostalgia than anything else. To play a superhero in your core you have to have a little bit of a sense of humor because you have to suspend disbelief and lean into something that's an icon. It was initially a drawing to embody a concept, and you have to have some playful spark in you.
So how do you feel about this? Would you like Lake Bell to play the Amazonian Princess? Or do you have someone else in mind? Comment below and let me know, as always you can hit that red thumb button or follow me on Twitter!
