Three Identities & Three Love Interests For <em>Wonder Woman?</em>

Three Identities & Three Love Interests For Wonder Woman?

TV Guide’s William Keck today posted some “exclusives” that were made up pretty much of some details that we’ve heard before — that in addition to being Wonder Woman, Diana Prince will also have the alter ego of “Diana Themiscyra,” which sounds super-complicated in such a way that forum commenters are having a field day with it. (In the script itself, in context, it actually makes sense).

Here’s what Keck revealed in today’s column:

In addition to Wonder Woman’s mousy alias, Diana Prince, she will have a third, more powerful persona named Diana Themyscira, the confidant C.E.O. of Themyscira Industries. But it appears this Diana has placed her company in the hands of trusted confidant Henry Demeter, a 40-something man who runs Themyscira’s day-to-day operations. While this fella has been a father figure to Diana, he could be a future contender for her heart. Also vying for Diana’s affections is Ed Indelicato, a blue-collar tough guy slightly younger than Henry who has close ties to the police department. But it appears this stoic hunk is too devoted to his job to show Diana much attention beyond professional devotion.

And fear not Wonder Woman loyalists. Added in the mix is Diana’s longtime boyfriend from the DC Comics. Steve Trevor, played as a military major by Lyle Waggoner back in the ’70s, is being re-conceptualized as a thirty-something veteran of the army who now works in the Justice Department.

Serving as Diana’s confidants are a pair of ladies named Myndi and Etta. Best friend Myndi Mayer is a sexy 30-something press secretary who dresses to the nines. She’s the one who encourages Diana to get out there and meet men. Etta, also in her 30s, is Diana Themyscira’s sunny personal assistant who is always supporting her boss.

As for the Amazon herself, producers will be looking for a muscular actress in her late 20s to 30s with flowing black hair and blue eyes who is able to kick butt. This Amazonian princess from Paradise Island fights for justice but also dreams of living a more normal existence.

    ERIN CUMMINGS would own as Diana, anyways NBC don’t turn it into that other CW superhero show cough cough and you’ll do just fine! 🙂

  2. IT WILL BE INTERESTED TO SEE WHERE THE THREE IDENTITIES WILL LEAD TO. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT KIND OF VILLAIN THAT WILL POP UP IN THE SERIES. I AM HOPPING THAT ONE OF THEM WILL BE THE CHEETAH OR THE SILVER SWAN. LET FACE IT HEROINES IS ONLY GOOD AS HER FOE IS BAD. GOOD LUCK TO THE NBC SERIES. YOUR TRULY CHARLES DAVID HASKELL

      No. A superheroine SHOW is only as good as its villains.
      Wonder woman’s main villain is Ares.
      The other villains just make for good TV.

    Yep, this show screams EPIC FAIL. 3 ID’s I mean REALLY? If Bridget Regan were playing WW I’d see this, but since it has Elizabeth Hurley as one of the villians I MIGHT still see this.
