Lynda Carter Reveals Whether She'd Like To Cameo In New Wonder Woman Movie!

David Bentley over at The Coventry Telegraph managed to catch up with Lynda Carter and asked the actress if she'd consider a small role in the rumoured big screen outing for the character which is reportedly set to hit cinemas in 2013. Carter also reveals whether or not she thinks there is anyone in particular that would be a good fit for the role of the Amazon princess!

"A cameo is kind of a broad word," she said when asked if she'd accept a cameo in the movie which will be produced by DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. "As they say: "There are no small parts, there are only small actors". If it's something that is gratuitous I won't do it; if it's just for me to show up in it I wouldn't do it, but if there is something written that they think would be appropriate then most definitely I'd consider it. I would love it."

Carter was then quizzed over which actress she thinks is right for the role and her answer echoes that of many comic book fans who believe that an unknown would be for the best: "I've seen the faces of so many people (actresses), but the interesting thing about Wonder Woman is that you really knew her by both characters, because the audience knew she was Wonder Woman when I was playing Diana Prince, so for them it wasn't two different people," she said.

"And I never dumbed her down. I just thought she needed to be smart and capable, but nobody really knew how smart and capable. It's got to be somebody that you want to be best friends with; she's got to have that likeability about her, so it would be nice to have somebody who's unknown."

If Lynda Carter is gonna make a cameo then they better find a Wonder Woman who looks better than Lynda did in her days and that wont be easy.



I would hate to see a flat chested Wonder Woman!!!


Whoever ends up being the next wonder woman has to be a Goddess in the Flesh.

great find

Josh she also mention this on Daybreak with Lorraine Kelly yesterday i saw the interview. Lorraine Kelly said to Lynda Carter do u feel Angelina Jolie be good as Wonder Woman. Lynda Carter said its better for an unknown actress instead of a big name actresses. i cant find the full video interview on youtube but i did find this clip with Lorraine Kelly turning into Wonder Woman when she was interviewing Lynda Carter.

Lynda Carter is a rare actress -- a really classy lady with principles and respect for the profession and the material without being a headcase. You never hear anything bad about the lady. At one time, she was voted the "most beautiful" during the WW run, and she is still beautiful. I was absolutely thrilled to see her play the principal in "Sky High," which was great casting.

She is the reason that Sarah Lancaster HAS to play WW.
They already look like mother and daughter.

I've never been a huge fan of Wonder Woman, but JMS' run on the title has been pretty interesting so far even though I honestly have no idea what the hell is going on, lol! :P Carter should definitely have a small cameo or role in the new movie and Queen Hippolyta sounds like an ideal choice. But who should play Wonder Woman? EMILY BLUNT!!!

Ugh, cameos cheapen movies...they pull you right out of the story. "Oh, look, there's so-in-so," or, "hey, isn't that's the 'original' fill in the blank actor/actress." Nah...pass. I like Bridgette Regan as WW.

I second patriautism. Sarah Lancaster should play WW and Lynda Carter should be Queen Hippolyta. That would be perfect.

tazmaniak - 9/15/2010, 2:06 PM
She's way too old for Hippolyta.The character would have been in her prime when the Amazons went to Paradise Island, and she hasn't aged since.They shouldn't even go over 40 for the actress, much less 60.

She's more than a MILF. Lynda Carter is the very rare, and elusive GILF. Just like Helen Mirren.

InTylerWeTrust - 9/15/2010, 2:35 PM
A cameo, cool. But not as WW's mom. Hippolyta should look like she can still throw down a bit, and Carter looks fragile and so aged nowadays, I'd rather not see her in the part.

I agree with InTylerWeTrust, Lynda Carter as Hippolyta would be an odd fit. I'd cast Carter as HERA, Catherine Zeta-Jones as HIPPOLYTA, and BRIDGET REGAN as WONDER WOMAN.

Oh and for all the pervs among us. We know who we are! lol. If u like Lynda Carter have a look for her in 'Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw' for some nudey boobage hehe ;)

MagnaSolaris: That is true, but that is one of the few gripes I have about Hopkins as Odin, actually. I would have preferred someone like Stellan Skarsgard, who is 6'4" and a great actor, but Hopkins is talented enough so I won't nit-pick him. Besides, Odin looks old in the comics, Hippolyta should still look like a woman in her early 40's who can still throw down. Lucy Lawless would be ideal IMO.

"There are no small parts, there are only small actors". This doesn't make any sense lol. If there weren't small parts they wouldn't call them cameos lady! Sheesh.

In my casting choices I will like to see if Cate Blanchett should choose to play Queen Hippolyte. Lynda may get tired of it, she's been guest starring in Smallville playing Chloe Sullivan's mother. She may change her mind. That will be a great idea for her to do a small cameo role in the Wonder Woman movie. Just like the Original Superman movies had 2 cameo roles on Noel Neill and Jack Larson.

@ Lee777 - I wouldn't see it impossible for them to cast her as Queen Hippolyte.

And regarding playing WW, if it wasn't for Sandra Bullock being too old I would go with her. But my only choose is the one and only

Have Mercy!

@ Brazilianbatman - ure' having too many caipirinha's and hanging on the beaches of Rio. WW is probably the only female superhero that will work on the big screen. Comparing the idea to a Batgirl solo flick is crazy. But Batgirl porno parody can work lol.
