Kate Beckinsale would make a better Wonder Woman


When considering the over-hyped report that Lindsay Lohan wants to play Wonder Woman, one should remember that Kate Beckinsale was originally said to be in the running for the role:

Ever since the summer we have been discussing how Kate Beckinsale is a likely candidate for Joss Whedon’s upcoming project Wonder Woman. When Whedon was asked on whether he had some likely candidates, the director mentioned that he was looking for a ‘young’ Wonder Woman for his ‘coming of age’ story.

Though we did not know how young he was talking about, we figured that it still would have been too risky to drop down to Peter Parker’s age (Spider-Man, high school) and thought we’d best leave our fingers pointed at Beckinsale.

Hell, she was even caught wearing a Wonder Woman outfit while out one Halloween night.

Now that Lohan has received a lot of press for a prompted comment that she made way back in June (thanks to Egotastic for finding this) that she would be interested in playing Wonder Woman, it’s only fair to point out that Beckinsale fills out the outfit a lot better and is a more experienced actress. She can also look fierce for the part as we’ve seen in Underworld, (ok, we’re assuming) while we’ve only seen Lohan playing herself in some teen movies.

Here is Beckinsale with her husband of almost two years, director Len Wiseman, out in Santa Monica recently.
