For as long as I can remember, various producers have been trying to get a full-length film of Wonder Woman off the ground. Various celebrity women would love to get their hands on it – Kate Beckinsale, Beyonce, etc. Megan Fox was thought to be a major contender, but then she bitched and moaned and talked herself out of the potential gig, declaring that Wonder Woman is a “lame superhero”. Anyway, the newest casting rumor is pretty spectacular… Christina Hendricks. Wonder Woman as a busty redhead? Sign me up.
Christina Hendricks says she would “love” to play Wonder Woman in an upcoming film adaptation.
The “Mad Men” actress told TV host Rachel Ray that nothing is official yet, but she did hear that she was being talked about for the role.
“I heard that rumor too — I don’t know where it got started but I love it!” she said.
“I’ve been wanting to wear that outfit my whole life! I’d love to (do it). That would be such fun! Let’s put it out there!”
Hendricks, 35, recently signed on to star alongside Sarah Jessica Parker and Pierce Brosnan in the romantic comedy “I Don’t Know How She Does It.”
The red-head is best known for her role as Joan Holloway on AMC’s “Mad Men.”

I kind of love this idea. Would men? Some men really adore Christina Hendricks, some don’t see the appeal. But I think women would be all over this. Christina is sassy and campy and funny and she would fill up Wonder Woman’s bustier to the point of exhaustion. It could be really interesting!

I love her on Mad Men and would probably watch her as Wonder Woman, but I think it’s an odd casting decision. Of course, I doubt the film will ever get off the ground, people have been trying for ages and it never works out.

Pass. Malin Ackerman for WW.

I don’t see it. I imagine Wonder Woman as more athletic.

Wonderbra, maybe, but Wonder Woman? she’d never be able to work the golden lasso without her boobs getting in the way.

Anyone who saw her on Firefly knows she can pull it off. Best villain that show had.

@ AMAZING how do you know christina can’t be bad ass, give her a chance for goodness sake.
love christina- just hope if the rumours prove true that she doesn’t lose weight for the role like scarlett johanson.

NO. You know who would’ve been great as Wonder Woman? Delta Burke or Dixie Carter (in their heydays). Now, Monica Bellucci.
Wonder Woman is NOT just the boobs, the gold rope, and the invisible jet. She is much, much more. (When I was little, my friends and I thought my Mom was Wonder Woman, because she’s so beautiful. But Mom would never do a movie!)

Linda Carter will always be Wonder Woman to me. I can’t think of anyone who is awesome enough to fill that role. Maybe Eliza Dushku? She is hot AND athletic….
Report this comment as spam or abuse
No way. She’s just not very fit looking, and can you imagine her chasing after the bad guy without ending up with two black eyes?

the only issue with eliza dushku is she can’t act to save her life. she can play faith and that’s it

OOH I would so like it if it where her to play my childhood superhero! I had it bad for wonder woman..at one point she was what I was going to be when I grew up..and I guess I sorta am with the amount of stuff I have to deal with and do..all of us women are wonder women especially those that work and have kids or are a single mother. I want to go see it..but if its not the right actress playing her I may think twice.

Hendricks can’t play Wonder Woman because: (1) too old; (2) too fat; (3) too pale; (4) too unattractive and (5) she’s not a big enough star to carry what would be a multi-million dollar movie.
This Wonder Woman movis has been trying to get off the ground for years now but nobody can get the go ahead. There is no script and no actress has been cast. I think this woman put herself in the running and now, as usual, the media runs with it. I don’t think anybody should hold their breath waiting for this thing to fly!!

To me, Christina Hendricks is that Seinfeld woman that looked great in some light, and hideous in others. I have no opinion on her playing Wonder Woman.

I vote no.

haha Marjalane is right.. She suffers from the ‘two face’ affliction. That was from the Festivus ep. Still one of my faves.
Oh and a resounding ‘no’ to her playing WW.

Lynda Carter could still play her — have you seen her lately? Still beautiful.
I joke, but she’s still WW to me.

Lynda Carter IS and always WILL BE Wonder Woman. Megan Fox could never ascend to that level. Megan is too petite and full of herself to play that part. Wonder Woman needs to be played by a confident, beauftiful, statuesque women.

Maybe Emily Deschanel? From Bones? I feel like she pulled off that look pretty well on the show.

I think she’d be great and she could rock dark hair.

If magnificent tits are part of the “role” then she’s hands down the next Wonder Woman.

I think she is totally wrong for the part and I think she put her name out there herself for the role.
I think Jordana Brewster or even Michelle Rodriguez would be perfect for the role.
I especially would like to see Michelle in a movie where she wasn’t killed off.

If her Wonder Woman top looks anything like that corset she’s wearing, then HELL YEAH!
And I don’t think she’s too old. She is after all Wonder WOMAN, not Wonder GIRL.

I think she would be an interesting casting decision, I could see it.
My husband doesn’t get her appeal and he likes curvy women *shrug*. Then again I don’t get that Hamm guys appeal either

She is way too talented and beautiful to do such a stupid movie. Two words come to mind: career suicide.

Nothing about that movie sounded interesting except for Joss Whedon’s involvement, which is no more. So I don’t care who plays Wonder Woman, because if it ever happens, it’ll be a really lame movie.

She really must be wonder woman when she can drag all that weight. Each breast is bigger that her head!

She would have to dye her hair black. To me that is part of what made Linda Carter so stunningly gorgeous those blue eyes and dark hair!

ummm…in what universe is this woman “fat?” are we so used to seeing emaciated women that when we see a curvy, healthy woman we think she’s fat? and for the record, mr. original kate uses the word “bombshell” with regards to this post.
