Can you see Beyonce Knowles as Wonder Woman? Yeah, neither can I. And I say that not because Beyonce is black because frankly that part of it doesn't bother me at all. It's just that I'm enjoying this new era of comic book movies where we're casting really talented actors as superheroes and not just Arnold Schwarzenegger in a Mr. Freeze suit. To cast Beyonce as Wonder Woman would just send the wrong message about the film from the very get go. You develop a WONDER WOMAN film for years and years and then cast Beyonce?

If you're wondering where this rant is coming from, Beyonce told the LA Times that she has met with representatives from Warner Bros. and DC Comics about starring in WONDER WOMAN though to be clear it was Beyonce, and not WB/DC, that called the meeting. Says Knowles, "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?" It would be a bold and powerful choice to cast a black actress as Wonder Woman. And it very well may be time for that. But it's neither bold nor powerful to cast Beyonce and it's certainly not time for that.

Source: LA Times

Extra Tidbit: Beyonce will be the musical guest on this week's "Saturday Night Live" with Paul Rudd.

How can you complain ...
about who will play WW? Why arent you complaining about how bad of a story WW really is and that it would tank huge at the box office? Or the fact that not one A-List director would touch this with a 10 foot pole. Unless she is naked there will be no hope for this movie.

I definitely like the idea of Monica Belluci playing Wonder Woman, Beckinsale and and Lucy Lawless would be great choices as well.

Okay...No. Really. Just No.
If they go with a woman of color for the role, then they should choose Priyanka Chopra from India. She can act, can do action, look Wonder Woman-ish. Of course it would be mucho hard to sell Wonder Woman to the domestic market with Priyanka as the lead since prolly 5 people in US know of her, but it'd be a no-brainer for the International in terms of Asia and parts of Europe.

No offense to Beyonce because I do like two of her songs, but I wouldn't pay see Wonder Woman if it starred her. There's really no evidence that she can carry a film. I did like her in Austin Powers and her signing in Dreamgirls. But, unless Wonder Woman is going to sing for some crazy reason, I don't see it. And even then, just do dubbing for a great actress ala My Fair Lady with Audrey Hepburn. If they do cast her, they should give her the best acting coach in the world and a good luck charm. Maybe she'll surprise us all one day with her acting, but this news doesn't make me wanna jump thru hoops to see the movie.

If Lucy Lawless was back in her Xena days, she'd be a cool choice. Well, she'd be a solid choice now, though it'd be a hard sell beyond the comic-scifi-fantasy convention crowd. It's hard to pick someone for this role...maybe Kate Beckinsale? Rachel Weisz? Anne Hathaway? They all can act and do some action. Hey, if they really want to get a super beautiful woman behind the role, then they should choose Monica Bellucci. She can act when the role is demanding (which means it's been in French or Italian), plus, you know every straight guy alive will pay to see her wear that Wonder Woman outfit and kick b*tt.

@WRITER19. No, you're not the only one. I'm a big supporter for Beckinsale to play Wonder Woman. Never mind if she hasn't got a big enough bust; Angelina stuffed her bra for TOMB RAIDER. Easy fix. Beckinsale is the perfect choice. If not her than Rachel Weisz.

But these Beyonce rumors are just all sorts of wrong. And it's just like Sampson said; not because she's black but she hasn't proven herself as an actress. If they're going to ignore years and years of comics and cast a black woman as Wonder then I say Angela Bassett. She was my pick to play Storm in X-Men. Would've have been a hell of a lot better than Halle Berry.

I hope this next bit doesn't come across as racist, but I hope that now that there's a black president they're not going to start casting black people in roles that aren't fit for them. The prime examples being this and the Will Smith as Capt. America rumors. I love me some Will Smith but I'm sorry, Captain America is a white male. If its an original piece of material that they want to change for a black actor, they should definitely accommodate. But if you're going to adapt an already published piece of work (and in these cases, years and years of comic history) then I believe the filmmakers should have an obligation to honor and respect the source material.

Beyonce is a bad a choice because she hasn't proven herself as an actress. And yes, I think it is a bad choice because the actor should at least somewhat resemble the character already embedded in peoples minds. Its not a race thing, I'd be equally pissed to learn that matt damon was playing war machine instead of Cheadle, b/c it doesn't fit the character, despite him being a great actor.

Please. I'm sorry, but Wonder Woman is neither black nor white (she should be of Mediterranean background). Besides, do the words "Wild Wild West" mean anything to anyone here?! A terrible movie that still makes me cringe every time I see it on the tube (thankfully late at night) being an old Robert Conrad fan.

As for Beyonce playing the part, someone needs to tell her to get over herself. She is no actor and she could only do for Wonder Woman what Halley Berry did for Catwoman. And least we forget that Berry has an Oscar? Lets just can this one next to JLA and get going on the Green Lantern, his is the only character that can become a film people would want to watch. Maybe even Flash is they made him kid friendly. But enough with Wonder Woman!

Kate Beckinsdale as storm? why not? Halle Berry is pretty far from African. she didnt look anything like Storm. It's interesting how you guys cry about a character being played by a different race but don't bat an eye when iceman is made a kid. the "artistic integrity of the artists" argument is thrown out the window the minute these comic books become movies. That shit ain't about art.

For me it's not a racial thing, but come on enough already. Could you imagine what X-Men would have been like with say Kate Beckinsale as Storm? So now Hugh Jackman is going to star in the Black Panther I guess. Try explaining that one. Not to mention Beyonce SUX as an actress. Isn't she happy enough being Lady Jay-Z? Guys I'm telling you, no way her fat a$$ fits into that swim suit, let alone the invisible plane!

Yeah, I say nay to this. Nothing to do with skin, I just can't see it. Kingpin could've been so much better if the right actor was found. Daredevil...ah, it's so hard to say if that was a good or bad film.

As for WW, I have no clue who's the right choice.

IN THEORY NOT A BAD CHOICE
But the woman simply can't act well enough to carry the role. Sure, Austin Powers aside this woman is gorgeous and has pipes but ever since Downey, Bale and Norton have set the standard for superhero acting, there's no longer any room for a sub-caliber actor to take on any superhero role. The bar has been set and Beyonce isn't even close.
