In 1975 a Wonder Woman TV Series was created and Lynda Carter got the spot as Wonder Woman! Now we're getting a new Wonder Woman film set to release June 23rd, 2017, and Gal Gadot will get to play the Mighty Amazon in this film. With that said, Lynda Carter, when asked in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, spoke on whether or not she thought there should have been another Wonder Woman film made after her series. "I think we need to move it on."
When asked about what she thought about Michelle MacLaren's departure, she responded by saying she, herself would love to have a creative position in the film, "I would love to be involved in a creative position of it." She then continued, "I know so much about what people want from it, I think, that just being as a consultant on a movie. I think it needs a woman." Even though she would like to be involved in the film, she revealed that she hasn't talked to Warner Bros. about her having a possible part in helping create the Wonder Woman film. "Not yet, no, but I may."
Will the classic Wonder Woman have a cameo appearance in the film? Does she even want to have a cameo? Well, according to Lynda Carter she'd want an important role, rather than a brief "Hi and Goodbye.” cameo appearance. "Well it’s not so much that I want to cameo, if I have a part, if there was something that was nice about it, or if it was a piece that meant something, whether if I was the mother, or an image from the past, or whatever it is, then it would be a little bit different." She then made clear that a cameo is most likely a no-go for her, "But to do a walk on as a cameo, for the fun of it, I probably wouldn’t do it."
So, now that her thoughts are out, what do you think? Should Lynda Carter have a pivotal role in the new Wonder Woman film? Or do you think that she should just settle with a Stan Lee-type cameo appearance? Sound off below with your thoughts!
