Beyonce: I Want To Play Wonder Woman!

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Beyonce wants to be a superhero.

The pop star, whose new album, "I Am... Sasha Fierce," is due Nov. 18, has told the Los Angeles Times that she wants to play Wonder Woman on the big screen

"I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman?" she asked the newspaper. "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?"

And she's not just talking about it - the "Cadillac Records" and "Dreamgirls" star has reportedly met with representatives of DC Comics and Warner Bros. regarding the iconic comic book character, an Amazon warrior who wields a golden lasso that makes tied-up villains tell the truth.

"I love Wonder Woman and it'd be a dream come true to be that character," she said. "It sure would be handy to have that lasso. To make everybody tell the truth? I need that. It would come in very handy."

According to Beyonce, her recent dramatic roles have made her interested in donning Wonder Woman's red-white-and-blue bathing suit.

"After doing these roles that were so emotional I was thinking to myself, 'OK, I need to be a superhero,'" she said. "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."

While Wonder Woman has never reached the big screen, Beyonce said the Lynda Carter-starring '70s TV series inspired her.

"I would definitely have to keep it right for that costume," she said of Lynda's legendary outfit.

Getting Wonder Woman to the movies would be another breakthrough for Beyonce -- while "The Dark Knight" broke box office records this year with another DC hero, Batman, the superhero genre has been dominated by men, with "Catwoman" and "Elektra" both box office disappointments despite star power from Halle Berry and Jennifer Garner, respectively.

Any thoughts? i think she is certainly pretty enough.

Shes hot. But she is not Wonder Woman.

If Samuel L Jackson can play Nick Fury why not Beyonce for Wonder Woman... Looking closely at her I see a strong resemblance to Wonder Woman the only thing different is that Diana's skin is traditionally lighter... but Beyonce isn't exactly very dark... I think with some heavy coaching in the acting dept, she could/would be a clear hit.

Oddly enough I don't agree with Beyonce as Wonder Woman. Not because of ehr skin color but because I don't think an extreme amazonian warrior when I think of her.

A black Wonder Woman? no thanks.....I cant stand when people want to mess with a character background so much. Little stuff is ok though, but movie DD king Pin still sucks and a bad casting.

I actually enjoyed MCD as the Kingpin. He had the build and there isn't a white star that I can think that could pull of the resembelence.

But Beyonce as WW would suck. First of all no version of WW is black second of all I doubt she even knows a thing about her character and may just throw in some of that bulljive Sasha Fierce persona.

Michael Clarke Duncan did a stellar job as Kingpin. This was because he's simply a good actor. Beyonce Knowles is not.

I don't see how Megan Fox fits the role besides her appearance. She's a young woman who'll probably be the love interest for the rest of her career where as Wonder Woman is a strong independent woman. If Beyonce could act, I'd be all for it.

i wouldn't only a white character or someone eaisly passed for white should play her. and even then they must look like her.

it's stuff like this:



It's 'time' for that? What, a white one isn't good enough or something?

if brad pitt turned around and happened to be the biggest black panther fan ever and wanted to make his movie, there'd be riots.

why does it even matter anymore? pick up the comic. find a person who bears some resemblance to the character that's had a consistent look for 40+ years, make sure they can act, and cast them...

its not rocket science...

i'm not mad or anything, just... having one of those 'wtf' moments...

As a black man I agree as well. I wouldn't get excited if I saw a black WW. I would be like "WTF?!"

How about Tom Cruise for Silver Samurai

Antonio Banderas for Cable

Leonardo Dicaprio as Luke Cage

Jackie Chan as Captain America

Hell let Wesley Snipes be Quicksilver.

bleh. black panther is the king of an african nation, however wonder womans island is fictional and thus it's up to the director to construe it as he may, wonder woman is a a character who could really be played by any race, I don't see why beyonce can't do it....as long as they dont make wonderwoman a musical it'd be fine

Maybe because the source material is based off of a white woman. If it was another woman from her home then ok but a black woman calling herself Diana whatever that last name is, is just stupid. There are white people in Africa so what is stopping Tom Hanks from being that king?

But every story has her as being white so they would have no way of justifying her being black in the movie. If they replaced Steel or the GL with a white or hispanic or anyone else then I would be upset. Just because their stories don't focus around their color doesn't mean that it is ok to change it.

she's an amazon based on greek legend. that part has never been in dispute at all.

that's never changed in what, 60 years of comics?

Yes Kate can off anything, but not Wonder Woman..

I feel this way about Beyonce doing this role..

Warner Bros' must want this film to FAIL AND FAIL BADLY, if they really are serious about hiring a singer to do an actresses role..

Beyonce is just hot and some of her songs are jams, but as an actress, she cannot act her way out of a toilet seat..

Here's a better choice for WW, Jennifer Hudson, at least she has an academy award to her name.. laughing laughing

My opinion on skin colour in superhero movies is this:

If their skin colour is directly inherent to their story, then keep it as it is. E.g; Black Panther.

If it's not, like Blade, then do whatever you want. Blade just happens to be a black man, he could easily have been a white man or an asian man, but by chance, he wasn't. Black Panther has to be black.

I'm not entirely versed on Wonder Woman, so I don't know.

i think the color should be the same as the comic character. and wonder womans island is from greek legend and they all are related to the greek gods which are white.

She is tall, the same height as Wondie pretty much.
She would look insanely amazonian especially if she bulked up for the role.
Anyway, she is well over 40 now so she can't play wondie. smile

WTF are you smoking?

Catwoman sucked balls and flopped big time at the box office, one of the reasons is that it wasnt close to the real Catwoman. Wtf? a black WW wont change the character? damn right it will. Just like what if they casted LL Cool J as Wolverine instead of Hugh. Now, would X-Men and Wolverine have the success they have if they did this? HELLZ NO!! There are black Canadians you know! laughing laughing

This aint Xena they are messing with here, there are a lot of fans and history with this character. They shouldnt screw with it by changing the skin color just because Beyonce feels she can. This hole this thing is just because a black man became the most powerful man in the world. I think I can I think I can.......

While Megan Fox lives and breathes, I see no reason for Beyonce to play Diana. wink

I don't mind Diana being more dusky, being of Greek heritage, but a mulatto like Beyonce is going too far. Sorry. There are characters out there who are 'racially neutral', but WW isn't one of them. Same with this idea of Will Smith playing Steve Rogers/Captain America.

Yeah, 56s post is a fail. He missed the point of my post. You cant mess with a characters history that have been around for years. People bitched about Transformers because Bay change their looks. Catwoman was a huge flop and one of the reasons is they changed the looks of her. Same shit here, they shouldnt change WWs looks. Especially just because someone feels they can, I think I can fly a plane, that doesnt mean I can.

No, it's because some characters can have their race changed and it wouldn't change who they are, but other characters it doesn't work.

We have to remember how it was rare to have black characters of any substance up until a few decades ago. For decades it was white characters being written & drawn by white men in their 20's to 40's. Then more visibility came for blacks & other minorities, and TV & films started to usher in a new age of multiculturalism in the 1970's. Comics eventually started to follow. Of course things are often so set in stone with comics - because fans are leery of change - that it's difficult to get around what's already established, while still trying to reflect the multicultural society that is North America.

A character like Steve Rogers, can never be played by a Black actor. No one will believe a black man in 1940's America would be chosen to become the symbol of America to her enemies overseas. Now, Isaiah Bradley would be a different angle...
Putting aside the Halle Berry fiasco, a black Catwoman wouldn't bother me at all, so long as she was sexy & smart.
Someone like the Black Widow, it's not possible to go with anyone other than a white actress, if she's supposed to be Russian.
But Wonder Woman? I don't think so. I think the character can be played by someone of Latino or Mediterranean background, but not black.

The actress who was cast for the aborted Justice League movie - Megan Gale - certainly had the look, and she was of mixed English/Polynesian background.

Beyonce can wait until Justice League gets off the ground, and go for the part of Vixen.

If she could act it honestly wouldn't matter. I wouldn't mind it if Naomi Campell was the White Queen (Emma Frost) but I don't think she could act.

actually it would matter alot of people would complain about a black wonder woman (including me) Black people should stick to playing black characters. Honestly why not just make a movie about someone like wodner woman that happens to be black if she wants to be her so bad. But it has to be somebody that looks white or latino or close. Blacks just too different.

To each their own, maybe it would matter to you but not to me. I'm not saying that WW needs to be black, I'm saying if she could act then why not.

The White Queen thing though could be an interesting development IMO if she were black.(But she has to sound British IMO)

To bad she can't act. I want to see violence. And I like the idea of the actor having the Codename White Queen and being black.

Maybe they could keep Captain America white but make him muslim.

I should take over the Ultimate Universe...it can't get any worse then it is...barring Ultimate Spiderman which was alright when I read it a while back.

honestly, it would kill the actual believability of the characters if they didn't look like their comic counterparts... if jim rhodes was white or emma was black, i'd look at it, and it just wouldn't click with me that it's the character i read about every month...

regardless of acting quality...

I suppose and I guess with the Animated Show depicting different appearances it'd be a bad business decision. As you'd end up confusing people.

Although it would work in the Ultimate Universe IMO.

well, ultimate, or any parallel universe, is a blank slate... you can make a black nick fury or a gay colossus (though i hated that), and it works, because parallel earths means a carte blanche to do as you please...

Truth.

I didn't like the gay Colossus either but I can't really think of anything to separate him from his 616 counterpart.

Maybe they should have made him a stalinist?

Iceman really should have been the closest case.(See that Family guy thing)

I got an idea for a thread...

Mystique a man...who shapeshifts into a women.

Jean a corpse.

Storm a sexual deviant.

Xavier and Magneto should have been lovers.

Nightcrawler an atheist.

This is Morrison type stuff. ;P

She was dwarfed by everybody on Enterprise. I doubt she would have the sheer physical presence needed for the role.

Catwoman was a huge flop and one of the reasons is they changed the looks of her. Same shit here, they shouldnt change WWs looks. Especially just because someone feels they can, I think I can fly a plane, that doesnt mean I can.

Or it was a flop like Elektra was a flop. Because it sucked. No, you're still a racist, that can't spell, as evident in my last post. Kthx

I don't see any racists on this thread; just people being reactionary to positive criticism. Stop with the threats of reporting, it just looks juvenile.

Catwoman was a flop because it sucked. Not because they changed the character's ethnicity. That would only matter if the world was as full of racists as this thread is.

I thought Patience Philips existed for years though? I remember picking up a Catwomen issue years back before the movie came out thinking it was Selina but it turned out to be a Catwoman in a purple costume who had black hair and was a of mixed race. I also remember seeing the name Patience Philips. I never bought the issue but I always thought the movie was based off her. confused

I must ask you what race are you? I find it funny how you just throw out that everyone here is racist because they don't want a black Wonder Woman much less one played by Beyonce who has yet to show that she could do action movies. You are one to talk about spelling. "kthnx" is not a word. You sir are racist.

WonderWoman is supposed to be Greek no? And throwing race and color out the window, Beyonce sucks, plain and simple. People credit her for her acting in a few movies, but what did she play? A SINGER. Thats like giving Mary Kate Olson credit for playing a little kid. Not to mention by all reports Beyonce is a very stuck up, diva'ish singer.

Beyonce as Wonder Woman? No thank you, but I'd be happy to give her a part as Vixen as a consolation prize.

it basically does the island is almost all white greek women. I'm not sure if there are black ones and they are then they are rare. But i feel for movies based on existing chars the actor should look somewhat like them

It's full of Women thru out history that have been killed by their abusive husbands and lovers given a second chance at life by the Greek Goddesses and Hermes. hipolyta isn't even Greek persay. She was the very first woman killed by her husband. She was pregnant at the time. When the Goddesses revived the souls of the women, hippolyta lone was pregnant and always felt that longing even tho she couldn't figure out why. which is where Diana's soul comes in. Anyway, general Phillipus or how ever you spell her name is black. there are many diverse amazons.


Sadly, Beyonce is not Wonder Woman. She should be a background amazon dying on the battle field in a flash back.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Beyonce wants to be a superhero.

The pop star, whose new album, "I Am... Sasha Fierce," is due Nov. 18, has told the Los Angeles Times that she wants to play Wonder Woman on the big screen

"I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman?" she asked the newspaper. "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?"

And she's not just talking about it - the "Cadillac Records" and "Dreamgirls" star has reportedly met with representatives of DC Comics and Warner Bros. regarding the iconic comic book character, an Amazon warrior who wields a golden lasso that makes tied-up villains tell the truth.

"I love Wonder Woman and it'd be a dream come true to be that character," she said. "It sure would be handy to have that lasso. To make everybody tell the truth? I need that. It would come in very handy."

According to Beyonce, her recent dramatic roles have made her interested in donning Wonder Woman's red-white-and-blue bathing suit.

"After doing these roles that were so emotional I was thinking to myself, 'OK, I need to be a superhero,'" she said. "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."

While Wonder Woman has never reached the big screen, Beyonce said the Lynda Carter-starring '70s TV series inspired her.

"I would definitely have to keep it right for that costume," she said of Lynda's legendary outfit.

Getting Wonder Woman to the movies would be another breakthrough for Beyonce -- while "The Dark Knight" broke box office records this year with another DC hero, Batman, the superhero genre has been dominated by men, with "Catwoman" and "Elektra" both box office disappointments despite star power from Halle Berry and Jennifer Garner, respectively. i don't know about anyone else, but the idea of a wonder woman movie sounds foolish. the thought of beyonce, a singer not an actor for christ's sake playing her is just more reason for warner brothers to just put it on indefinite hold.

they should focus on making a good superman film for once. hint: have superman actually fight someone worth a damn, then maybe they can do a....... *yawn* wonder woman movie.

why does a superhero have to be played by a black person to be considered "bold"?people like beyonce need to be drug in the street & shot.i would much rather see a selma hayek as WW than beyonce,but i guess that wouldnt be considered "bold".honestly,why do blacks always think things like this are owed to them?i hate hearing"its time for a black president " & other such bs,because if i dont agree im racist.what if i was to say its time for an latino president?or an asian?or indian?why is it if i say we don not NEED a black president im racist,but if i say we need a latino president to which im sure the blacks wont agree,they are not racists?i only have a problem with the blacks that feel theyre owed something because of something that happened hundreds of years ago.they themselves never went through slavery.& before anyone does call me a racist,just know i have a gf thats half black which also makes my daughter partially black.anyways,lol,F beyonce we DO NOT NEED A BLACK WW

Whoa slow your roll dude, who said blacks think they are owed something here? No one said this would be a bold move or anything like that. I don't know if you were reading other posts but many black people like myself also disagree with a black WW, we also disagree with Beyonce in a comic movie.

Also I don't think you're racist, but I find it funny that your only defense to not being racist is the fact that you're married to a half black chick. Its funny that you had to defend yourself in that way without even being accused.

Way to release that pent-up angst in the form of unecessary tirades and over-the-top outburts there champ. You'd do better to express your skewed viewpoints and lunacy on the streets of Harlem rather than on a message board where noone in particular cares what you have to say though. I suggest a remedy for you would be a lot of fresh air, and perhaps a healthy dose of vag...well, good luck on your journey towards growing a pair.
