OlderBeyonce To Play Wonder Woman?
Beyonce has expressed her Amazonian ambitions, telling the LA Times that she wants to be the first black Wonder Woman. In fact, she’s already in talks with DC Comics and Warner Bros!
She tells the paper, “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?”
Beyonce continues, “After doing these roles that were so emotional (Dreamgirls, Cadillac Records) I was thinking to myself, ‘OK, I need to be a superhero.’ Although, when you think about the psychology of the heroes in the films these days, they are still a lot of work, of course, and emotional. But there’s also an action element that I would enjoy.”
As for costuming, Beyonce wants to stick to the original: “I would definitely have to keep it right for that costume. The way that Lynda Carter wore it, she was sooo fine. She was amazing. I saw her costume at the Met. Her waist was unbelievable. It was pretty crazy, actually, her proportions. But I love Wonder Woman and it’d be a dream come true to be that character. It sure would be handy to have that lasso. To make everybody tell the truth? I need that. It would come in very handy.”
If America’s ready for a black President, maybe a black Wonder Woman isn’t so far off.

I’m all for a black Wonder Woman, but please find someone who can act first.
OH GOD PLEASE NOO!!!
Beyonce I saw your acting…so I say NO. Don’t ruin Wonder Woman. I have a felling if she did get the roll, she would play that character she played in the Austin Power’s movie she was in.
Beyonce, Saha, whatever you call yourself now, do not mess with a classic. Its bad enough you messed up a Stevie Nicks song, don’t touch this.
Go to hell Beyonce! Stick to what you are semi good at and singing…
you SUCK at acting…
Go to hell Beyonce! Stick to what you are semi good at and singing…
you SUCK at acting…
george miller the director has already cast the role of wonder woman to an australian model named megan gale.
megan gale will be perfect for the role
Dream on, girl!
so are we all going to ignore how racist comment #2 is? negro? REALLY?! wtf ? im surprised you didnt use the term “colored” seriously im not a super PC person but **** that ****
whatever.
blacks are getting somewhere!!!
anything is possible for black people now, so blacks, don’t use any excuse!
and “negroish?”
okay, just ignorance.
I wouldn’t mind a black Wonder Woman but with that being said, NOT BEYONCE she is a horrible actress!!!!!!!!!!!
Not her, please give the part to someone who can act and who is pretty.
Errr… no.
She can dress like Wonder Woman at home, for Halloween, or maybe even in a music video, but in a feature length film? Hell to the no!!!!
A Wonder Woman movie has been talked about for years; maybe the problem is casting. But there is no way that Beyonce is the solution.
Seriously!!
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA
The female Barack Obama she is NOT.
She’s a horrible actress and singer. I don’t color the color of the skin, please find someone who can act please!
This is just dumb, I am all for casting different ethnicities in non-traditional roles, but this one makes absolutely no sense. A black, latino or oriental superman or batman could work, but Wonder Womans’ entire identity and story is wrapped up in her Greek origins. The actress that plays wonder woman has to be Greek, or at least Greek enough looking.
Also as other posters have mentioned…Beyonce can’t act
Beyonce would make a TERRIBLE Wonder Woman!!! That would be so sad. She needs to stick to writing music, singing, and dancing.
#2 you are a racist *****!
I’m black and I don’t want to see a black Wonder Woman anything, let’s leave Wonder Woman as she is.
plus
Beyonce + acting = Major DISASTER!!!
Umm sorry beyonce but you are a really really really bad actress, actually i don’t even consider you actress,don’t play the card -excuse-skin please, cuz that has nothing to do with it, i perfer seeing a talented black actress who deserve bettre that role than you, sorry but you can’t have it all, keep sticking screaming in your songs..you’ll be busy ..it’s better than nothing.
I understand the whole “equal” thing. Always have….
But really! I agree with #16. Wonder Woman is an ICON in the DC Comics and always will be…AS A GREEK PRINCESS!! It would be almost unethical to do something like that. That’s like making a new Superman movie and casting Chris Brown as Clark Kent! No disrespect to African Americans. They deserve to be involved in everything as much as the rest of us are..
Think about it…if there was a movie about Mr. T…would it be ok to cast someone like Brad Pitt to play him?
I vote NO you can’t!
Oh hell noooooooooooooooooo
Maybe Christina Aguilera but not Beyonce WTF
she’s Beyonce’ so she will get the part!
I don’t care what type of person plays Wonder Woman (black, white, asian, etc.) … all I care about is that they can act. Unfortunately, Beyonce can’t act. She should seriously stick to the singing thing!

I don’t know what happen to her. It seems the more successful she becomes the dumber she becomes. She needs to take a break from the spotlight for a year or two.
Isn’t Linda Carter half Mexican? I agree with the people who say Wonder Woman is an icon and shouldn’t be tampered with. If they were going to do that, get someone else. Beyonce can’t act her way out of a paper bag.
No! NO and NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Ok this is getting ridiculous….wonder woman is traditionally white..thats what she is, we dont take any traditionally black characters and change them do we? If we did that..oh I wouldnt be able to imagine that! The scandal that would ensue! Ok we have an african american president…..i get it thats super..but please people stop being so idiotic about **** ok?
THis ***** has lost her damned mind. Hoe sit down. Speaking as someone of color and an avid reader of DC comics, I prefer they stick to what’s what. She is delusional.
Does anyone remember a black cat woman?
black cat woman = halle berry = disaster!
Not possible!
George Miller (the director of Happy Feet) has already purchased the rights to a Wonder Woman movie and has already cast Megan Gale (ex-Supermodel) in the role. The movie was due to start filming a year or so ago but filming was suspended due to the writers strike.

Why is it racist if you look at skin color to exclude someone but not the other way if you only look at skin color to include someone, they can’t have it both ways, if you take out the fact the she has darker skin pigmentation then some people because she probably lighter skin and with her blond hair then a lot of people who consider themselves white there would be no reason for her to get the part, she is not famous enough to carry a major movie on the other hand she is not an unknown that would peg peoples interest , she isn’t a good enough actor to get the part for her acting abilities, so after America just elected a mixed race black man to the most powerful office in the world, and after a black women who not only is the richest women in America but also one of the most powerful help get him there, we have to her from millionaire Beyonce that because she is black she should be able to play the part of an iconic charter in a movie, has if there was no black role models and it would be a service to the public, talk about self serving.
GOD NO!!! MEGAN FOX IS SO WONDER WOMAN!
Please let this be a rumor!!! Wonder Woman is greek and not black. Not even someone with blond hair should play her. Megan Gale is perfect. I hope they stick to her. And not everyone loves Beyonce as much as she loves herself. Someone should tell her that. Her movies and music suck and she needs to stop letting her fashion retarded mother dress her!
Beyonce can’t act.
WOW she really thinks highly of herself, doesn’t she?
is she even an actress??? what has she done other than that musical with Jennifer hudson??????? go away, she cant act and she can barely sing
LOL…NUMBERS # 4 AND # 8………She needs to just stick to singing and quit trying to branch out……..Why do celebrities HAVE to start other so-called talents, other than what they do…It is a never ending process, of ………COOKBOOKS, BABY ITEMS, HANDBAGS,WIGS, C.D.’S, CLOTHING LINE, MAKE-UP, PERFUME, SHOES, LINGERIE, AND HAIR PRODUCTS…..We are flooded with this crap, and most do not do well anyway……..Don’t we have enough junk on the shelves ?…………and on T.V.?……Go away Beyonce, and just stick to your vocal chords…….You are NOT a Wonder Woman….
It’s not about the color, but can you find someone with women’s legs at least?
First of all-COMMENTER #2 IS A RACIST!
Second- Beyonce can’t act…..I don’t care what race/skin color Wonder Women(linda carter is part mexican after all) just make sure that whoever the actress is has some actual talent!
IS SHE SERIAL???!! OH HELL TO THE NO!!!!!
oh hell no! NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Kill Me Know and Mlle, there were/are 2 WW movies. Megan Gale was tapped to play WW in the Justice League movie, which is now stalled, indefinitely.
The 2nd movie–scheduled for 2009/2011 has also been stalled due to Josh Whedon quiting. Whedon wanted Colbie Smulders from How I met Your Mother for the part and Joel Silver had wanted Jessica Biel, bot neother could agree. Silver also specified that he wanted someone between early 20s and mid-20s for the part who is at least 5′8′.
Both movies have stalled indefintely.
I don’t believe Beyonce is seriously in talks for the role.
JARED, PLEASE DO NOT turn Obama’s presidency into a GIMMICK.
WW is a cartoon character. Obama is a real person.
I hate that people are trying turn this educated man into some sort of politcally correct gimmick. “Oh, a black president, now let’s paint everything black because it’s the popular thing to do.” What the hell does Obama being the first non-white president have to do with an historical cartoon character or film character, in the case of James Bond? First Daniel Craig spoke about a black James Bond and now this. It’s turning absurd and insulting to blacks that Obama’s real victory/success is being spurned into a “comical” gimmick to be politcally correct.
i think they should get a more skilled, talented and more athletic actress to play Wonder Woman….
NONONONONONONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!First they take our my freedom and now my imagination!!We need to stick to the original!!!White.Sorry Beyonce we’re just not ready for this.
Since when has Beyonce been black? Maybe a *black* Barbie but a black girl? Bi*tch please. Rihanna’s more black than Be-yawn, & that’s sayin something. At any rate: I’m hungry.
NO! Leave Wonder Woman to a white woman with Black hair and blue eyes… Linda Carter was so perfect for that role…
If she’s wants to be a superhero, she can be Storm…
Megan Gale is pretty but she needs braces… She’s got money go get her teeth fix. Her buck teeth sticks out more than her other little teeth. I don’t remember Wonder Woman with buck teeth…
that’s like making superman black. lmaoo a white superhero should stay white… and a black hero should stay black.
no matter what color wonder woman is.. the movie would suck major balls. movies (regular or comic book; superhero) suck when they have a female lead.
No!
No!
This could slide down the Blacula rails and I don’t think we need that.
Lynda Carter is too fabulous to be redone by anyone. Besides, she was just photographed somewhere and she looks AMAZING.
No one should be Wonder Woman untill Lynda Carter is no longer with us, and I sincerely hope that is a long, long, long time away.
SOPHIA BUSH = PERFECT WONDER WOMAN. SAY NO TO BEYONCE.
We can have a black wonder woman (greek) and a black Bond (scottish/swiss) right after we have a white Martin Luther King and a white Shaka Zulu.
beyonce cant act for ****
they betta get halle or gaberiel union
this bisth dumb learn how to act first
Oh hell no. Whatever, I dont’ care if WW is black, chinese, irish. Whatever. But please God don’t ruin her with Beyonce. WW’s been punished too much already…
i the color doesn’t matter why are the blacks making difference all the time? who the **** needs a new wonder women? and who cares about that old **** anyway? yeah she can be wonder women on her video clip but anyway….and she’s NOT wonderful at the first place..
Ok, I agree that there should be some more black peopel palying superoheros I mean not to sound rude or anything but how many well known white ones have we got spiderman, super, batman, x men (except storm) , fantastic 4, hulk etc. I think it’d be nice to have a black wonder woman but I wouldn’t put beyonce as my first choice though i have to admit i was impressed by her performance in the cadillac records trailer. But a superhero movie is not just some emotional drama/ romantic comedy for one thing there’s no singing, second you have to deal with truckloads of comic book fans and action movie fans. Playing a role lik e batman or spiderman isn’t just taking on some character nobody’s heard of you’re taking on an icon even if they aren’t real they still are widely recognizable figures in the world. Still who knows? And they haven’t said that Beyonce is going to get the role its like Angie Jolie inquiring about Catwoman just cause she’s interested doesn’t mean they’re going to hand it to her on a silver platter.
3 reasons why this is a bad idea.
1st) like everyone realizes, she CAN’T act
2nd) it goes against the entire original storyline
she’s suppose to be a Greek princess!
Okay you could make her the new WW, half Greek, half black… have Linda Carter hand her the costume.
This is stretching the story 50,000 miles just because she saw a 70s TV show when she was little girl…
3rd, last and most important reason) SHE CAN’T ACT
Wrong. Megan Gale (Australian model) has already been cast in the role.
I am not a racist but please…
I love Wonder Woman but will be next? black Superman?
She could play a new superheroine character if she likes it that much. Uma thurman did it she can do that too.
But I wouldn’t go to see it. I hate her!
P.S. I loved Halle as Catwoman (althought the film was crap)
Considering how WB and Joel Silver have gotten nowhere on their DC superheroines, it’s doubtful Beyonce will get that chance. She could try for another, completely original superheroine, but it’s still iffy.
I think Stan Lee’s version of Wonder Woman could be plausible, but not with Beyonce.
i would love her to be wonder woman, shes gorgeous and she CAN act, shes an amazing woman and wonder wonder may be an icon, but she was made an icon when america was still heavily racist and she wasn’t written specially for a white woman, and its not an autobiography of a white woman so why does it matter if they make her black, anyway she would do a good job at keeping her sexy :P
NO NO NO NO NO NO
HALLE BERRY FOR WONDERWOMAN
cause she can act
I agree with some of the comments made. Some are quite funny. She is a decent singer and I thought she was pretty good in the Austin Power’s movie. HOWEVER, it would go against the whole history of WW. They would have to rewrite everything and I just don’t see how Hippolyta could have a black daughter, so I guess they’d have to rewrite Greek history as well.
Talk about life imitating art…aka Dreamgirls….LOL!
KEEP DREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
As a black male who is infatuated with comic books, I could never see Texas Battle, Corbin Bersen, or ANY black actor for that matter to ever portray the caucasian roles of either Batman or Superman, and I wouldn’t want the same to be done to Wonder Woman as well. She was made as a caucasian, stick to her being caucasian forever.
Like another poster tated, she could easily play a role of Vixen. Or perhaps Texas Battle could play the role of Icon in an upcoming movie.
I don’t want to see characters being forced into popularity with roles originated by white people to suddenly become blacks, because there is a need for blacks to be extravagantly represented in comic books from every company that sells the comic book genre, because we are behaving as if we don’t even have our own original characters. When we do.
Black Wonder Woman? Lets not strive to create extra confusion for the Wonder Woman character than there is already (which is more than sufficient for the character right now).
I Repeat: We already have our own originated black characters, with black origins, and mythology, lets build up on that before we get attached to a white character to become remotely popular.
My point of view…

Is Megan Gale not playing the role anymore? I am so disappointed!
Beyonce better hope that Halle Berry doesn’t audition for this role!
Nick @ #70
Love you. As a comic nerd myself, I just don’t see this happening. Besides as echoed before, they’d have to rewrite history…Beyonce can not act and in my opinion barely sing (she does the talk singy thing, which irks me.)
Novel idea, just find someone else. There’s enough super heroes in the DC and Marvel Universes that everyone does not have to fight over one or two of them.
Besides Wonder Woman is not ready for all that Jelly.
Beyonce, you would SINK the wonder woman movie with you awful acting. Sorry, just because you have everything you could ever want doesn’t mean you get to live out your “superhero” fantasies at the expense of a good film. She’s so full of herself. BLEH.
OMG you people take things up the *** she means that she wants to play superhero that would be kinda like the “black wonderwoman” she doesn’t mean that she’s gonna change wonderwoman into a black woman.
Please no… she cannot act. Please stick to the singing.
I hate beyonce, she is boring and she always wants to be the center of attention.
ok she is talented, but wonder woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! never, Linda Carter was way hotter
lynda carter was mexican/ irish “greek looking” she did a great job, but a new black or chinese wonderwoman would not be the same, they need their own characters and build them up, i am not surprised beyoncé made such a ditsy comment though

lets try to keep some originality to the comic. wonder woman was white, simple as that…
its like saying lets do a remake of malcolm x but have russell crowe in the lead????
Any guy ever give a cr*p about Wonder Woman?
Who the hell would want to see her legs and thighs in a Wonder Women costume, please girl , no on wants to watch that jelly for 2 hour on the big screen, and who besides Beyonce thinks that it is time to see a black Wonder Women, so what’s next Will Smith saying it’s to to have a black Spiderman.
well if they even consider giving beyonce the roll
just because of colour(cos we all know she cant act!!!)
then they might as well give to oprah!!!
give it to megan gale!!!
aussie aussie aussie! oi oi oi!
wow that’s a terrible idea! :(
what’s next, nicolas cage playing luke cage in Power Man and Iron Fist?
Andrea, you are hilarious!!!!!!!
why is it always about race? why not acting ability? does she have the chops for something this big. NO. please NO.
Oh please, Lynda Carter was not a great actor in Wonderwoman…it was a pretty cheesy show. I think Beyonce will do fine, she doesn’t need acting chops for the wonderwoman role, she just needs to look good in the costume. I think she will be recognized for playing the role of Etta James…I think she will be a contender this time around for an Oscar. I think the academy is dying to give her one and I think this might be her year.
It’s not about race here, it’s about character! Beyonce does NOT suit the Wonder Woman character. She just doesn’t!
About the catwoman disater…
Catwoman’s personality never had anything to do with race, it was more about a woman who considered herself as weak being impowered. That’s why it worked in the television series(and in the batman movie) for her to be played by different actresses, they fit her personality. They were all very strong and charming.
Halle Berry’s problem was in the movie’s writing! It was horrible, it didn’t even resemble catwoman. It was just bad!
Being Greek is part of Diana’s character, Beyonce’s personality just doesn’t fit! Not to mention her horrible acting!
Definately NOT!!!! It has nothing to do with a black wonderwoman. whoever plays her had better be able to act and BeDunce is NOT the one!
“time for a black wonderwoman” shes said that so when she doesnt land the role, she can cry racism. what a ****** move.
besides megan gale looks alot like wonderwoman from the comics..and her acting cant be any more worse than beyonce.
really –> apparently jamie fox has confirmed to play the role of peter parker in the new spiderman movie.
Regina –> dont forget that stupid ‘cat hat’ thing she had to wear.. that costume was so bloody wrong.
I think will smith would make an awesome war machine >_>
HA HA HEE HA HU HEE HA HA HUU, and I thought my jokes were bad! Beyonce don’t fcuk with Wonder Woman, what’s next a black 007? You people quit sticking your noses where they don’t belong.
okay thats just ridiculous wonder woman is a GREEK AMAZON!! i used to watch the show with lynda carter and beyonce is gonna make the character all wierd cuz she cant act and and will make the movie all cheeeezy.
beyonce can not act……
SHE CAN’T ACT PLEASE WE ARE NOT READY TO GET TIRED OF WONDER WOMAN NOW (im black)
If you don’t look the part to play a certain hero, the character should not be changed to suit some “actress” who fancies having a go at a super hero film. Some characters have changed skin colour over the years like Harvey Dent, Pete Ross and Catwoman but in my opinion this only works if they are secondary characters as an iconic figure like Wonder Woman or Superman etc. are classics that should not be tampered with.
However the one hero that had his appearance changed that has worked for me is Nick Fury. And he wasn’t changed just so Sam Jackson could get a job in a superhero film. He was changed in the comics purposely to resemble Jackson by Mak Millar in the Ultimates, and now he actually gets to play him on the big screen which should be great.
Christina is the real Superhero not Beyonce
does she really think she has the midas touch and everything she touches will turn into a hit.! maybe jay-zs been filling her head with this nonsense or maybe she’s on crack!!
I don’t care about any so-called talks she’s having with DC Comics. Megan Gale is rumored to play Wonder Woman in the upcoming 2011 Justice League movie.
Being black, I think it’s a great idea to have a black Wonder Woman, but not Beyonce. IMO, she’s not that great of an actress. It’s crazy what she asks for to do movies!!! Right now, she’s so not worth it. IMO, she needs to invest in some acting classes. That’s just me.
SO what if your black white or anythin still a person????
but no not the part for her lol
x
Hmmm..She needs to learn how to act first. BTW Jude, Wonder Woman was originally played by Linda Carter and she has Mexican origins….I guess anyone with mediterranean looks can play the role, even a light skinned black with those features can play the role…ahh why are we putting so much emphasis on race??? let anyone play the role of wonderwoman..doesn’t matter if she’s black, olive, or light…we have done this throughout history, Look at Jesus, he was from the MiddleEast so he had to look Middleeastern (at least that’w how jews looked back then before they moved into Europe and mixed with europeans), which is completely different from the Jesus you see on paintings…the same was done with other mediterranean and middle eastern historical icons (they were given blondish hair and blue eyes by this northern-europeanized society).
WTH ARE YOU PPL BEING RACEISTS !!! ??JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE..I MEAN..WE ARE ALL ONE…WHY DO COLORS MATTER TO YOU THAT MUCH….WE’RE ALL THE SAME…EVERYONE HAS THE SAME FEELINGS…HAPPY…SAD..SHY..SCARED…ETC
SO STOP ALL YOUR FOOLISHNESS AND GROW UP…YOUR JUST ACTING LIKE KIDS…AND MAKING THINGS COMPLICATED…WHY CANT WE ALL JUST BE EQUAL…WHO CARE WHAT COLOR WE ARE…WHITE..BLACK…YELLOW…RED…BROWN…IT’S ALL JUST USELESS COLORS…NO ONE IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER…JUST DEAL WITH THIS LIFELESS STITUATION…GROW UP AND DO SOMETHING USEFUL WITH YOUR LIFE…DONT WASTE IT ONE SOMETHING MEANING LESS !!
MY MOM AND DAD ARE HAVE DIFFRENT COLORS OF SKIN BUT I LOVE THEM BOTH JUST THE SAME !!
STOP BEING SUCH BABIES AND GROW UP FOR GOD’S SAKE !!!!!!
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.
Beyonce, being the first black president is a powerful thing; being the first black astronaut is a powerful thing; being the first black Wonder Woman sounds childish. Why don’t you take the powers you already have and use it to direct and produce black female superhero films. I’m glad Will Smith didn’t recreate, but created black, unique superheros (MeninBlack, Hancock, Independence Day,etc.) Superman is Superman. If they tried to redo him as a black man, then to me it would seem like now we have to jump on the ‘first black this and that’ everything bandwagon of unnecessary substance.
Beyonce has far too big a butt, far too thick of thighs and even knees too! She probably has fat ankles too! Her body is NOT ONE to be in a Wonder Woman outfit! Did you SEE her on SNL!
Beyonce, first let me say, I love you to pieces…but as a fan of DC and Marvel comics, I have to say…HEELLLLL NOO! Sorry, and this coming from a black girl herself. No offense but I want the traditional WW because I’ve always been a fan of sticking to the comics for better realism..so nothing personal, bu ya, as I said b4… *ahem* hell no. -_-
am I the only one who thinks that Angelina Jolie (as overdone in roles as she is..but regardless) Still looks like the epitomy of WW..why fate fate..why fight the obvious..no need to spice up what’s already there. I think she has the voice..the attitude, and the body of the Amazon princess, since xena is too old now…lol.
You guys are just plain dumb. Beyonce CAN in fact act. You should REALLY look into her performances on screen. She brings a lot of power and emotion into her performance. Just wait for Cadillac Records to come out and you will all be dumb founded. I would LOOOVE to see her play Wonder Woman and people should look into what this girl can actually do before they judge.
Beyonce is UNIDENTIFIABLE as Wonder Woman. She is 5′6″, black & thinks fighting is like dancing. She dsnt take the role of playing WW serious & dsnt respect the fans enough 2 know that her playing Wonder Women would be TRAMATIZING & destroying the integrity of the comicbook storyline. There are already plenty of other black superheros that she can portray on the big screen. Storm who marries Black Panther (also a black superhero), Vixen, Misty Night, Nu’Bia- R they nt good enough? Why does she want to portray a superhero from Greek mythology? Why does she want 2 change an already established icon 2 suit her own needs & ego? When you change the most minut detail of a superhero whether it b the costume, their super power abilities, hair, eye color, skin color, demeanor it becomes a Big Deal. It has nothing 2 do with race & more w/poking holes into everyones favorite & beloved superhero. It puts hardcore comicbook fans in a uproar & justified outrage. Hugh Jackman knew this when he took the role of Wolverine & is very serious in how he portrays Wolverine. He is careful to stay true 2 the character in every way, shape and form. He is dedicated 2 the fans. Whomever takes up the role of WW must have the same dedication & consideration in order 4 the movie 2b a success. Your 1st obligation is 2 the fans- mke them happy because they are the ones who care the most. You need 2b able 2 identify w/WW on ALL levels & Beyonce does not. Wonder Woman is already powerful. She dsnt need 2b black to prove it. It’s like Kato from Green Hornet being played by Ed Burns, Foxxy Brown by Denise Richards, Zorro by Brad Pitt, Cleopatra Jones by Meg Ryan, Shaft by George Clooney..Could You dig it? Black people would not like it if their favorite superheros were so unjustly misrepresented. They would flip & w/good reason. So keep Wonder Woman the way she was created in the comics & on TV. Beyonce is seriously overreaching & out of her league to play Wonder Woman. She simply is UNIDENTIFIABLE.
Aaaah…Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce…
1st mistake is you begged. Wonder Woman doesnt beg, she commands. Wonder Woman is a Amazonian Princess Warrior. Very unbecoming OF YOU to beg.
2nd mistake is you’re black, Wonder Woman is not. Recognize.
3rd mistake is you think you can act. Delusional.
4th mistake is Wonder Woman doesnt wear weaves.
Go shake your ass somewhere else and try not to fall again while you try to balance that weave on your big head. If you were a boy you still couldnt do it.
Jessica Biel and Beyonce no, please, they are not right for the Wonder Woman role. Megan Fox is the one.
Beyonce please just stick in singing.
I love you but acting is not your field, so keep singing honey…….
