A rumor is going the rounds at the moment, telling us that a source “close to Warner Bros” is claiming that a Wonder Woman movie is being developed for a potential 2013 release.
Hot on the heels of a failed attempt at a television series, an attempt to make a Wonder Woman movie might not seem like the best idea available. Granted; this is still very far from being anything more than pure conjecture and rumor, but the simple fact that it got this far indicates that there is some serious interest here. The overall failure of Green Lantern and the lukewarm anticipation for Superman: Man of Steel should indicate that DC is doing something wrong here and that maybe the right answer isn’t to launch yet another movie following a single superhero. Maybe they’re better off moving ahead with Justice League next, following the grand finale that Christopher Nolan is bringing to the Batman saga next year.
Also, this brings up the question of who we’d like to see play Wonder Woman. There were a couple of discussions about this about two weeks ago, as Christina Hendricks had been pegged by director Nicolas Winding Refn as the ideal candidate to take on the role. Apparently, the suggestion sits well with Hendricks, who has been eager to tell the world about her love of the character. Last year, as she was on Rachel Ray, she even admitted to wearing “Wonder Woman underoos”.
THABATMAN- Will They ever get a Wonder Woman movie up and running?
