This better be good! 😐
ERIN CUMMING (Spartacus) TAYLOR COLE (The Event) or JODI LYNN O’KEEFE (Prison Break) all perfect for WW! 🙂
Lucy Griffiths (Robin Hood) TANIT PHOENIX ain’t bad either, anything but the obvious pic of SEEKER girl, shes all freckled up and basically played the same role on that cancelled syfy show. Its like picking Spock boy for Namor lol! : p
Of all the names that have been mentioned, Nadia Bjorlin is the one to play Wonder Woman/Diana’s. Not only does she have the look, but the build too. She is the total package. It would be a mistake if they pass over her. I hope that she gets the part.
Olivia Wilde
i reckon she would be perfect for WW
I TOTALLY agree with you!!! Is she in the running? I’ve been saying for YEARS that Nadja Bjorlin would be perfection as Wonder Woman, she has the look, the gorgeous eyes and her voice is beautiful!!!!
This is a joke right?? She’s a CEO??? The amazon island has been reimaged as a company????
WONDER WOMAN/DIANA PRINCE: ALEXA DAVALOS (CLASH OF THE TITANS)
MYNDI MAYER: ROCHELLE AYTES (DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES)
ETTA: KRISTEN BELL (VERONICA MARS-WHEN IN ROME)
HENRY DEMETER: JOSH LUCAS (POSEIDON-LIFE AS WE KNOW IT)
STEVE TREVOR: JUSTIN HARTLEY (SMALLVILLE)
ED INDELICATO: ADRIAN PASDAR (HEROES)
OR
WONDER WOMAN/DIANA PRINCE: ERICA DURANCE (SMALLVILLE)
MYNDI MAYER: ROCHELLE AYTES (DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES)

STEVE TREVOR: JUSTIN BRUENING (KNIGHT RIDER)
ED INDELICATO: ADRIAN PASDAR (HEROES)
Turns out your Steve Trevor casting suggestion was right!
Thank you for even replying : ) I did like him in Knight Rider and I was sorry the network didn’t renew the show. I was actually very glad to see that they went with an actor that was on their Network before (and that one of the reasons I thought of him).
I was (and still is) a 70’s-80’s tv shows fan. I grew up with most of the TV & Movie remakes they are doing now: Wonder Woman, Charlie’s Angels, Dallas, A-Team, The Hulk, etc.. and the cancelled Bionic Woman and Knight Rider. Of course the original shows were amazing and the actors were unforgettable…The stories told back then, where well written and executed, they touched us, they were fun, and original.
So of course it is hard to “fill these shoes” but the new generation is not bad (not bad at all) and people should not judge, well at least not the actors…the Networks, the Producers, The Casting Directors,The Writters ect…Maybe but not the actors, like Sandra Bullock said at the Oscars “actors, act”. Besides look at Smallville, a story we new but could not imagine what would happen in 10 season’s, with wonderful actors and ensemble (congrats, sorry to see it end).
PS: who ever comes up with an original idea…can send it to Hollywood and make millions, maybe even billions!!!!!!!
I really hope they sign Traci Dinwiddie for the role. She’s perfect, she has the experience, skill and look as well as vunerability. It would be so disappointing if she were overlooked for an audition when she has so much online support.

The one and only Wonder Woman : Traci Dindiddie

look at these pics. she is also a great actress !!
Traci Dinwiddie should be cast as WW! She’s perfect 🙂
Traci Dinwiddie.
She has the talent, the looks, the versatility, the understanding, the body and the soul.
You should seriously consider Traci Dinwiddie for the role of Diana. I learned of her work from the show Supernatural and thought she was wonderful. After hearing about the WW tv pilot, her’s was the first name that came to mind. She’s sassy and has the presense to pull off the “Amazon” vibe.
Consider Traci Dinwiddie! She’s pretty perfect for the role.
Traci Dinwiddie is the perfect choice for Wonder Woman. She has the look- long black hair, athletic build and a strong presence and also has the kick ass attitude needed for Diana. The casting director would be silly not to cast her.
She might be slightly older than some other candidates but she has the wisdom and life experience that could bring real life to this role. I’ve never seen Wonder Woman as a just out of high school, barely legal 21 year old anyway. It’s called Wonder WOMAN not Wonder Girl.
Dinwiddie for Diana!!
Allow Ms. Traci Dinwiddie to audition and you will not be dissapointed. This woman is a phenomenal human being and tremendous actress. She has the looks, the body and the attitude to play Wonder Woman both on a TV series and a movie.
Traci Dinwiddie. She’s got acting chops and she’s got guns. And she’s hot. I think she’ll be able to pull off the dual role no probs. #dinwiddiefordiana!!!!
Traci Dinwiddie is the perfect choice for the next Wonder Woman. Not only does she have the body and the beauty required for the role but also has the charisma and screen presence to breath life into the legend that is Diana/Wonder Woman.
Kryptonsite says that Adrianne Palicki will be playing Wonder Woman…WTF!!! She is freaking blonde!
I doubt I’ll be popular for saying this but Adrianne is all wrong for the part. She’s already been in Smallville as a mind-addled teen who claimed to be Supergirl. She hasn’t got enough experience, or the right look. Quite clearly, the casting people weren’t really bothered about picking the right person.
Nobody wants to see them remake Wonder Woman badly. Congrats to them for not taking the time to consider a better actress. Enjoy the ratings drop.
Jennifer connely’ violante placido’ Rhonda mitra’ the girl from 300′ zantana from from smallville ‘
kristen kruek’ and any other brunette oh there. thanks to the idiot who cast a blonde. give your self 2 pats on the back you possibly ruined the chance for a successful w.w. show for good a fing blonde
Hey! Adrianne’s hair can be dyed black, okay?!? Gawd! THINK! Its Hollywood! I happen to agree with the choice. They say the new series is gonna be different…that its gonna be a comedy drama….if that’s the case, fine. Adrianne is perfect for that!
Perfect to play Wonder Woman/Dianna Prince would be Perez Hilton!!! LOL!!!
GET US OUT FROM UNDER, WONDER WOMAN!
Bridget Regan for Wonder Woman !!! 🙂
Wonder Woman…
A CEO and vulnerable woman who needs a nurturing best friend.
What is this crap?
This deserves to fail.. send a message to the producers that we don’t need a complete rewrite of one of the most famously, iconic female characters.
i LOVE dc COMICS AND STRONGLY BELEIVE THAT WONDERWOMAN WILL BE A HIT.
How do we send in a resume for the parts?
Now that Adrianne Palicki is unfortunatly Wonder Woman, does anyone know if Nadia Bjorlin auditioned?
As far as I can gather, Adrienne Palecki was the only one who auditioned. I’m guessing she was cast because she was under contract with NBC/Universal/Comcast.

Dude, you obviously don't know the Wonder woman mythos very well, do you?
not a tv series. . . what the hell, i want it to be a blockbuster movie . come on superman , batman, wonder woman, flash green lantern, aqwaman, and justice league in movies not tv shows.
look at marvel. . . there all in movies, from blade, x-men, spider-man, fantastic four, iron man, hulk and now thor and captain america and the avengers. . .
come on DC and Warner Brothers. . . wake the hell up
I just hope that the actress is relatively unknown and actually in her late 20’s. Not some old plastic lady playing young.
This sucks a blonde I’m not even going to waste my time. Idiots I tell ya
How about Jennifer connely or Megan gale I’m so pissed
Gina Torres should be cast as wonder woman. Tall, Exotic, and can whip some serious tail. Absolutely beautiful

She may be blonde as herself. But she isn’t blonde now in her role as Wonder Woman.
Adrianne is a good choice. Fans always want someone who – Looks the part, has the physicality for the part and has the acting chops and understands the appeal of super-heroes.
Adrianne- is a comicbook fan (loves Supergirl and Alan Moore written comics.
-was an Emmy Nominee for Best Supporting Actress for a former tv role so she has the acting chops.
– is a relative unknown yet NOT inexperienced as an actress.
And unlike Gina Torres, she looks the part.
…and Adrianne did track & field in high school so she is Athletic. (Yet is NOT bulky looking.) Classy and doesn’t look like an Adult film star like some others.
Actually I should play Wonder Woman. In 30’s. 6′ tall long black/dark brown hair, and blue eyes… I even have been told that I look a lot like Lynda Carter.. and I was mistaken for WW/Carter one time in a Halloween costume. I think when it comes to superhero movies you need actors/actress that you have never hear of… so that way when you see the movie it seems more real.. instead of picturing what other movies the actress has played in before.. Also… when you want to make a sequil, you will get the same actors.. unlike the Batman movie.. need I say more??? Well the Woman they did pick to play WW is from my home town, and same high school.. I just a few years older. 🙂
