Beyonce As Wonder Woman?

beyonceUsually when actors/celebrities/musicians drop hints at what role they want to play in interviews I don’t post it because that’s all they are, hints. However, in this case there is more than just hinting, meetings have taken place!

In an interview with the LA Times Beyoncé Knowles said she was interested in playing Wonder Woman, and has already spoke to DC and Warner Brothers.

“I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman? It would be great. And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It’s time for that, right?”

Beyoncé says that she has met with representatives of DC Comics and Warner Bros. to express her interest in a major role in one of the many comic-book adaptations now in the pipeline.

Beyonce has been getting more involved with the acting world recently, after her role in Dreamgirls and two more movies being released by summer next year. Whether or not anything comes of these meetings is yet to be seen. It could just be the case that Beyonce is letting people know she is interested.

    Actually A dark skinned Wonder Woman would work with her origin. She was created out of clay by the queen of the Amazons Hypolyta. So she could have dark brown clay colored skin. I’d like to see a better actress than beyonce though.

    Wow. If WB/DC actually goes for this, they’ll finally lay their (DC) film career to rest. Beyoncé fucking Knowles??? Lemme guess – she wants to do the soundtrack as-well? Oh, and have Hove produce it. Yeah, and make it just like Charlie’s Angels.

    To be fair, I couldn’t care less whether they make this film or not, because however they choose to shoot it, it’s going to be a clichéd piece of retro feminist crap.

    Al the hard-working staff at DC must be crapping their pants right about now.

    I love Beyonce’s music and style, and even her movies. The roles she have played so far were fit for her and those characters, but I believe Wonder Woman should not be re-made over with her as the tall Greek Amazon with the black hair, blue eyes and superstrength. If anything, she needs her own made-up superhero character. Or maybe she could be Firestar from the superfriends. Just like we had a good superman, x-men characters, fantastic four, ironman, etc, Wonder Woman deserves the right performance for all her long-term fans.

    She could be Princess Diana’s sister maybe, but not the original Wonder Woman.
