Kate Beckinsale has joined the race in those who are vying for the role of Wonder Woman in Joss Whedon’s upcoming comic book film. According to JoBlo, the British actress is already in negotiations with Whedon for the part and will start filming in September.
Sounds like bad news for Buffy The Vampire Slayer Sarah Michelle Gellar, Charisma Carpenter & teen queen Lindsay Lohan who were all hoping to land the role which was played on TV by the sexy Lynda Carter.
Charisma Carpenter went so far as to put off having another baby in hopes that she would be Whedon’s Wonder Woman.
“I’d like to (have another baby) eventually, but I want Wonder Woman right now. I’m not holding my breath (that’s good, I hear that leads to some problems), but I’m crossing my fingers and toes and praying (it seems that it would be difficult to walk around like that).”

I have to say I have to rank Kate #1 followed by Charisma. Gellar comes a bit later, and Lindsay Lohan way behind.

I think that Kate is okay, but I really think that Megan Fox would be better. She is younger and looks just like Linda Carter. I would rather see this part go to Megan!!!

I am a HUGE WW COMIC BOOK FAN……and Just saw the Transformers movie. I’ve never seen Megan before but when i saw her in this movie, i think she’s THE ONE. She is SPOT ON.
Beckinsale is too old and frail looking (though i LOVED her in Underworld and Van Helsing). WW is a strong lady but she never looked like a stick.
I strongly doubt that Charisma can carry a movie on her own (I’m a huge Buffy fan too) and she doesnt look exotic enough. Remember that WW, in the comics, speaks Greek.
Even the mention of Gellar and Lohan is beyond rediculous.
If Zeta Jones were younger (though i hate her guts) I think she’d be perfect too.

I totally agree that Megan Fox should play Wonder Woman. She’s young enough. I have been a huge fan of WW since I was a little girl. I thought no one was able to play the role after Demi Moore got too old, but after seeing Transformers, I am convinced she would be a great leading lady! As long as the movie wasn’t too bitchy and feminist…
