Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd be disappointed in Joss if he cast Eliza. She's a brunette who's done an action role. That does not a Wonder Woman make.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Angelina can do kind. And she looks like a bizarre semi-alien sex goddess. But I bet they look carefully at Rachel Bilson in a Year 1 scenario, too.

move out and draw fire
I'm betting they go for "it" girls first - Rachel Weisz, Keira Knightley, etc. They won't cast a non-white actress, which is a shame because there aren't too many white actresses with the physicality for WW.
But gah, if they just go for coloration we could end up with Liv Tyler.
Hmm...Hilary Swank?
Maybe this whole casting problem is the reason it's taken so long to get a Wonder Woman movie off the ground.

She doesn't ooze it, though. I can think of many, many comic book heroines she should play, but Wonder Woman isn't one of them.
But gah, if they just go for coloration we could end up with Liv Tyler.
Hmm. Oddly, she'd kind of work, but I don't think her acting is strong enough. Then again, it's stronger than some of the names I've seen people on the web suggesting. (Charisma Carpenter? Are people COMPLETELY mental?)
Hmm...Hilary Swank?
It's so outside of her narrow range I could laugh. (And outside of her narrow range, she's one of the worst actresses I've seen on screen.)

I haven't seen Blade III, but I can't discount Biel entirely. She's not my favourite, but it might work.
She has the physicality, and while that movie didn't showcase anyone's acting talent, she surprised me by having some in Summer Catch. Not ideal, but vastly preferable to Scarlet Johanssen or Lindsay Lohan or whoever the IT Girl is this week.
Then again, it's stronger than some of the names I've seen people on the web suggesting. (Charisma Carpenter? Are people COMPLETELY mental?)
Are there people out there delusional enough to think that Charisma and Joss want to work together again? I bet he'd cast Donald Sutherland as Wonder Woman before her.
Jolie would work for me, but I think Catherine Zeta Jones would be better if she could handle the action parts of it. (And lets face it, she has to be better able to handle them than Kim Basinger...)

Many of them. They think Joss should get down on his hands and knees and beg her to work with him.
Fandom's weird, yo. In certain sections, nothing is ever the fault of the actor (unless the actor is SMG), it's always the fault of ME, specifically Joss or Marti. Who are the Great Satans.

They're making a movie about Friendster.
Sher said Grace sparked to the chance to play a character looking for love while navigating technology such as instant messaging, camera phones and Internet porn.

I think reinventing the story from its bizarro Freudian and later gooftastic 70s roots is the hard part. Casting? Easy peasy after that.

Pretty much sums it up.
