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.

SO what if your black white or anythin still a person????
but no not the part for her lol

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…….
