Torchwood's Amy Manson is in the running to play Wonder Woman in CW's Amazon
Jan. 16, 2013
That girl in the photo above, that scorching piece of ace is currently a popular candidate to play Wonder Woman in the CW's AMAZON.
The girl in question that I am objectifying goes by the name of Amy Manson, and you may have seen her in TORCHWOOD and BEING HUMAN. The Scottish-born actress has had a lot of experience in television as well as a few straight to DVD movies. Sources say that Manson has been rather impressive in auditions leading her to get several callbacks for the role. If chosen, she would play a younger Diana during her early days on Themyscira.
Back in September, I ran a "Cast This" specifically for this part. The readers of the site who participated chose Gina Carano as their number one to take on the role of Wonder Woman. The second and third place winners were Lynn Collins and Odette Annable (formerly Yustman), respectively. If I had to chose from those three, I'd take Collins. While I am all for bringing more female comic superheroes to the forefront (thought I wish they would expand outside of the usually choices), I feel like Wonder Woman's moment died some time ago.
The CW is eager to get AMAZON going, and it's possible that she will do a crossover with ARROW. OOOOOOoooo. I don't care for ARROW. I thought it was terrible, sorry.
Do you think Manson would make a good Wonder Woman?

meh...
Hope they are moving on with a movie, because the character has the potential! I really like what Jaimie Alexander has to say about a possible movie and the character, so I would give her a shot. And a big hell no to Gina Carano, they need someone who can act...

As for Lynn Collins, I've met her and she's dumber than a bag o' hammers. Odette Annable would be another great choice.

IMO...
I will end up watching this show to see if it's any good and to see if the CW can pull off Wonder Woman. And by the way, I think Arrow is a cool show. Underrated superhero.
