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?

In order for Wonder Woman to work, we would have to update her entire image. Bring her into the modern world like The Dark Knight franchise. In the comic book world she now wears a leather jacket and leggings not underpants. Unfortunately the character in the in the movie world is very weak. However done properly a good writer can re invent anyone. Good luck Holywood, although I am truly grateful that Megan Fox will not be playing Wonder Woman, She is pretty enough but she doesn’t look strong enough to carry the Amazonian look :/
Although I thought that Megan Fox was a good fit. I v changed my mind and think that Lynn Collins (John Carter, Wolverine Origins) is a much better fit for the role.
Megan fox seems too cool for school. Wonder woman has one of the richest origin stories of all the legends. She was the only true warrior training from childhood. The amazons are stronger than men and ww stronger than amazons, mix that in with greek mythology and you have an epic warrior not just a superhero. You want this movie done right you need real women directing writing and acting and in hollywood you simply will not get that. Megan fox needs more roles where she bends over and doesn’t talk much.
You are so right Loren. I wouldn’t even want to watch the movie with Megan because she doesn’t deserve the role.
It is not very smart career wise either as most comic genre movies and tv series are successful and one genre film made her famous in the first place.. For every green lantern there are 3 iron mans. At this point in her career you would think she would jump at the chance since she is not really in great movies anymore. Sadly comic books still sell mainly to teen boys so of course she has f cups in the book so good luck finding anyone but a porn star to fit the bill physically.
Cobie Smulders for the role, hands down. She’s goes the hair, the eyes, the cheekbones, the muscles, and the body (a bit doubtful about her waist. It needs to be slimmer to be perfect), AND she can pack a punch! She’s also got a very goddess like feel to her when she’s not in casual clothes and I believe that she could be a great Wonder Woman. She played Maria Hills in the Avengers, and I don’t know, I think that is an indirect way of saying that “Superheroes are awesome! It’s an honor to be starring in a role about them!”
You are right. She looks just like diana. She is super skinny though and the modern ww is muscular. Depends on which way they go with the character. But I have never seen anyone who looks more like her.
