Ashley Newbrough is 24 and has all the right things going on to bring a fresh face to Wonder Woman. She can act and has the physicality/look.
Would be great to see if she gets in on the auditions.

[Haephestus]

Jaimie Alexander, Lynn Collins and Cobie Smulders all seem like worthy candidates for the role.

But, in reality, it will probably be at least another year (if not longer) before they even start the casting process, so who knows what other suitable actors will be more publicly known at that time. It may also depend upon whether WB/DC are willing to risk making a female superhero/action movie without a "major" name (e.g. Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie or Anne Hathaway) in the starring role.

First two posts, both about this actress.... Hm...

Welcome Ashley or her PR guy. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Lynda Carter is 5' 9" and just as slender as someone like Olivia Wilde. There isn't really a guarantee that finding a complete unknown is equal to getting the most perfect Wonder Woman.

Ashley Newbrough is 5'9. 24yrs old, physically has the look and the whole thing going on for Wonder Woman.

Adrianne Palicki

Out of the top four, it's between Alexander and Collins for me. Alexander instantly has that look for WW but collins brings the exotic, amazonesque WW vibe strongly. Out of the bottom two, I was fine with Palicki when I saw her but Gale in that first pick really evokes Diana!

[Predator jp]

Lynn Collins for me as well but her age is the problem.
rumour says that WB is planning to do a JLA movie in 2014 or 2015 and then solo movies.
Lynn Collins is 33 years old now so she will be 35-36 in JLA movie and almost 40 in solo movie which said to be a origin story.

CBR has an article called "WOMEN OF THE DCU WHO DESERVE THEIR OWN FILMS" and among others there's WW.

WONDER WOMAN



In the DC Universe, the Amazons of myth relocated to a mystical Paradise Island that was hidden by the goddesses of Olympus. Protected and isolated from the violence and persecution of "Patriarch's World," the Amazons continued to train in combat while developing advanced technology. Legend says that the goddesses eventually gave Queen Hippolyta a child, breathing life into a baby formed from mud on the island shores. Named after the goddess Diana, this newborn Amazon was gifted with strength, agility, beauty, a connection to nature and a warrior's spirit. As she ended her second decade of life, Diana was chosen to leave the island as an ambassador, teaching women of the world the Amazon philosophies while also protecting Earth from strange menaces.

"Wonder Woman" is both a coming of age story about an individual who is powerful enough to deck Superman with martial arts skills rivaling Batman's. Her battles range from confronting mythical beings to taking down alien conquerors and Earth-born super-villains. A film could showcase her initial journey into Patriarch's World, facing suspicion due to her strange powers and her pagan beliefs. She is a woman who has never left home her entire life and is now thrown into a larger world, surrounded by strangers. For the first time, her word and beliefs are questioned and scrutinized by a culture she doesn't quite understand. Many of us can relate to that. She's someone who has to adjust to the fact that her message and teaching will be harder to spread than she thought, but this will only make her mission all the more important.

There is already talk of a new film being put into development with Michael Goldenberg attached to write the script. Hopefully this will work out and we will indeed have a new Wonder Woman movie. If we do, I would want to give Adrianne Palicki another shot, as she took on the role of Diana for David E. Kelley's "Wonder Woman" pilot. While the Kelley pilot did not have a great story or direction, the cast was well chosen and it was clear that the tall and athletic Palicki could be a great fit for the role, both visually and personality-wise. She's proven her acting chops with roles in "Supernatural," "Robot Chicken," "Smallville," and "Friday Night Lights." Give her a better uniform and script and let's see what she can really do!

I quite liked Palicki if i'm honest. Wasnt perfect, but i prefer her all the actresses suggested in this thread so far. And yeah Wilde is a better actress but she doesnt have the look or build for it.

People couldn't imagine Chris Evans as Captain America before his transformation. Even Chris Hemsworth had to grow his hair and bulk up before he got the look down. Wilde is prettier, better actor, more emotive, and naturally fits Diana's demeanor. All Palicki has going for her is height. Different priorities I guess.

This is how Wilde actually looks like in films.

Palicki was an awful choice for Wonder Woman. The script for the pilot wasn't the only reason it didn't take place.

I would take Olivia Wilde in a second if those were our only two choices.

I thought at looks wise she was pretty good, although she needed to hit the gym hard.

She's also considered a fairly good actress but she wasnt given much to work with. Look, i dont really want her as WW, i'm just saying that i can see why CBR would give her another chance.
