The Wonder Woman movie is a project that has been in-development for years and years now. It has been off and on since way back in 2005 (at least), until earlier this year when it was reported that Warner Bros. and Silver Pictures were trying to get the project moved along (finally), looking for a good spec script and the “right” director to bring the female superhero to the big-screen.

Hollywood hottie-of-the-minute Megan Fox has ben rumored to play Wonder Woman in the movie version, and this was only further sparked when a fan-made image of her in the outfit made its way online (shown above and below). However, like the rumors of her taking over from Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot, Fox has denied speculation that she would play Wonder Woman.
But if you’re thinking she might want to do it if asked… not only does she deny she’s been approached, but she flat-out disses the character and the idea of a movie featuring her:
“Wonder Woman is a lame superhero… She flies around in her invisible jet and her weaponry is a lasso that makes you tell the truth. I just don’t get it. Somebody has a big challenge on their hands whoever takes that role but I don’t want to do it.”
Megan Fox as Wonder Woman
Wow, Fox certainly doesn’t shy away from saying what she thinks. Not only does it appear that she doesn’t like the character, but that she doesn’t “get” her…. Having said that, I have to say I’m kind of in agreement with her. I won’t go as far to say the character is “lame,” but as superheroes go, I don’t think she’d be the first one I’d set up as my next tentpole movie project (although, perhaps that isn’t fair to say since this has been a project in-development for years, even before other superhero movies were made).
Also, I’m not sure if a Wonder Woman movie would do all that well at the box office. It certainly wouldn’t tank, but I don’t think it would be the smash success that films like The Dark Knight and Iron Man were (I think more along the lines of The Incredible Hulk). On the other hand we ARE talking about Megan Fox in a low cut top and short skirt, bounding about and flying through the air…
Sadly, as it has been for a while now, there is no official news yet as to which creative direction the Wonder Woman movie will go – with neither a writer nor director in tow – but at least we know now who most likely will not be donning that outfit.
What do you think of Megan Fox’s comments about Wonder Woman? Since she most likely won’t play the character, who do you think should play her instead?

Angelina Jolie nor Megan Fox would be ideal candidates. As you recall, Wonder Woman is an Amazon so you would need someone with, at least, some muscles. Both Jolie and Fox are to skinny, with no muscles whatsoever. It would also be great if they would cast someone who can actually act.
Wonder Woman a lame superheroe? The only lame thing is Megan’s commentary. I don’t know all the hype about thi girl. Certainly she is cute and hot but she doesn’t have the acting chops to carry a character like Wonder Woman. Neither the class, she is way too much overly sexual and trashy to portray a regal, immortal princess/goddess. Lame? She shows she doesn’t know Wonder Woman story and the greatness she means. Although her creator’s purpose was to create a hero who would win over evil with her heart not her fist he unintentionally created the greatest heroine of all history. She can overpower any heroe and is a good match for Superman. And even better she doesn’t have a waekness like krytonite. If you have seen the Justice League last seasons she was powerful, yet graceful. In one chapter she fight with Superman and give him a hard time (and some bruises!). The end of season 2 where they were betrayed and captured by Hawkgirl and the tanagarias she was the one who free the other Justice League member. Superman wasn’t able because he was under a red sun and was powerless, she doesn’t. And in the end of season 4 when the bad guys had all the Justice League heroines under control trough their comlinks she battle 4 of her colleagues and they were frighten because she was too powerful. When Huntress ask if they have a plan, Hawkgirl answer: “to stay alive” and in some point of the battle when she got rid of the 4 (Black Canary, Hunterss, Hawgirl and Raven) they exclaimed; “we’re getting cream here”. So, Megan Wonder Woman is a great, complex character with one of the riches backgrounds of DC history. With your comments you just demonstrate your ignorance. You are not tall enough, classy enough less smart enough to portray the greatest female action hero ever! Please producers made the movie quick and select someone like Rhona Mitra, Kate Beckinsale, Charlize Theron, Milla Jovovich or even Megan Gale. But not this child who would never fill the shoes Lynda Carter once wore! NEVER!
If Fox has watched the Lynda Carter 70s versian of Wonder Woman. I agree That Wonder Woman was lame! The whole stand by your man theme made me sick! I only hope the producers of the show stay away from that mentality. Who ever is the next Wonder Woman is, She should be tall, At least 5′10″, No munchkins will work for this role.
There’s no way Megan Fox could be cast as such an influential superhero. No matter the comments about Wonder Woman’s powers, she has definately become an icon among women everywhere. The perfect woman needs to be cast in this role, someone who can relate to everyone and promote the awesome, inspiring image of Wonder Woman. Meaning that whoever they do cast needs to be an amazing actress, kind and georgeous to boot. No need to fret. There’s no way Fox could fit the calibur this role is going to require.
Lauren Graham! Of the Gilmore Girls fame. Her looks are spot-on. Also, she is in her forties, which would be ideal to convey the characters authority and strength.
i think the person should play wonder woman is heroin from x-men origin:wolverine, kayla silver fox.
I think Megan fox remembers the 70’s Wonder Women. I do agree that she is too small to play the part. As for what she has said….You would need someone who can act to play this part.Come on…She puts down all the movies she has ever been in.
She is an awesome Transformers Babe plus her role on another DC Comics Comic Book Character that Cowboy with a horrible face Jonah Hex which she plays as the leading lady of Jonah Hex, I think she can manage a little.
Looks can only get you so far. I agree she needs more acting lessons….Her attitude sucks.
