Lynda Carter On What She'd Like To See From The WONDER WOMAN Movie
Lynda Carter has previously given her opinion on Gal Gadot as our first big screen Wonder Woman, but now that it's been confirmed that a solo outing for Princess Diana is on the cards, what does she hope to see from that? Find out after the jump.
Lynda Carter played Wonder Woman in the popular TV series about 35 years ago, but she's still the one best qualified to offer advice on how to properly portray the character (after all, it's her or Adrianne Palicki who was Wondy for all of 5 minutes). Carter has said she fully supports Gal Gadot bringing Princess Diana of Themyscira to the big screen for the first time, but at the recent God's Love We Deliver 2014 Golden Heart Awards event, Vulture asked the stunning actress what she hopes to see from the first ever solo Wonder Woman movie which will follow Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice in 2017. She first reveals why she thinks it took Warner Bros. and DC so long to get this project together. saying, ""I think females baffle men, and so, that’s made it difficult to get a Wonder Woman movie made." She might be right...but it seems DC are confident they've got a handle on this female character at least. Carter then states that she's looking forward to Diana having a good sense of humour in the flick -- she'll be disappointed if that "no jokes" DC policy is true (it isn't).
"Ultimately, she’s about truth, and it’s all heart with her. She’s a strong female force. … She’s strong, but she’s so much more — not everybody gets that ... Most important, I want her to have a heart and a strong sense of humor."
let's hope Miss Carter gets her wish, because if this incarnation of Wonder Woman fails to strike the right chord with audiences in Zack Snyder's follow up to Man Of Steel, there's always a chance this planned solo outing may never see the light of day. More at the link below.
