Jennifer Love Hewitt Wants To Play Wonder Woman
June 10th, 2010There have been rumors of a Wonder Woman movie for a few years now, and even more rumors on who will be wearing the infamously sexy costume. Well, the latest actress to throw her hat tiara in the ring is none other than self-obsessed Wonder Woman fan Jennifer Love Hewitt. Here’s the skinny:
Hollywood stars Megan Fox, Eliza Dushku, Sandra Bullock and Beyonce Knowles all have been rumored to be of interest to studio heads. But Hewitt is determined to bring the role Lynda Carter made famous to the big screen.
She says, “I’m fighting so hard. I think Warner Bros. is getting ready to make Wonder Woman and I really want to play Wonder Woman. I am obsessed with Wonder Woman.” (Source)
Meh, I don’t know. I like Jennifer Love Hewitt, and I still think she’s a hottie, but I don’t think she has the body for it. Now before you guys get your panties in a bunch, what I mean is that Wonder Woman is a tad on the muscular side. And the only celebrity babe who comes close to how Wonder Woman has been depicted in the most recent comics and cartoons, is Jessica Biel. Slightly muscular, well toned, yet very feminine and totally drop dead sexy. So in my mind, Jennifer Love Hewitt doesn’t stand a chance. What do you guys think?

Although I do think JLH is a hottie, I agree that she isn’t the ideal wonder woman. But Jessica Biel? She may be muscular, but her face just isn’t pretty enough IMO. That big mouth is such a turn off. If they decided to make a Mr. ED movie, she would be perfect for the titular role. I nominate Emmanuelle Chriqui for wonder woman, but I think she’d be perfect for any role so I might be a bit biased.

There might also be the fact that LVH isn’t exactly a great actress. If she were to star in it you could almost guarantee it would suck. I couldn’t even handle watching her on ghost whisperer let alone sitting through an entire film.
Sandra Bullock would be amazing in this role (she’s great in anything).
June 10th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Very interesting! JLH sure has the “upper body” for Wonder Woman. I’ve never been a WW fan myself but I do like JLH. I definitely agree that she doesn’t have the muscular development to make WW realistic. However, many male actors have hit the gym to transform for a part, and a few women, but I’m not sure JLH has it in her. It would be great to see. And I don’t think she would suffer as much as some other actresses do in the gym as she has some “upper body” form to spare. If she really wants it, I hope she goes for it!

Of the bunch, I think she’s a good choice. Assuming there’s acting involved, that leaves Megan out. Eliza is a little too intense. I can’t see Sandra doing this, and Beyonce? Please. Jen has the perfect combo of body, acting ability, and good looks . . . I think she could do it. Maybe Emmanuel Criqui . . . maybe Kate Beckinsale . . .

Biel would be great – she’s got the acting chops & would Rock that costume & Black hair
Fox can drop dead as far as I care with her disregard for what a super cool superhero Wonder Woman is – why should she get the part if she doesn’t know squat about it & thinks it’s beneath her?!?
Love-Hewitt? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz
“Wonder Woman is a lame superhero. She flies around in her invisible jet and her weaponry is a lasso that makes you tell the truth. I just don’t get it. Somebody has a big challenge on their hands whoever takes that role but I don’t want to do it.” – Megan Fox

She begged for a Twilight role too. She needs to hit up Lifetime for a role to have a chance.
June 10th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
hahahahahahahahaha as if… what a desperate loser
June 10th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
Wonder Woman should be played by Catherine Zeta-Jones. Period. These girls are much too young; they can play the Debra Winger role in the sequel.
June 10th, 2010 at 5:56 pm
i think Sandy B would be the ultimate wonder woman
June 10th, 2010 at 6:23 pm
Any of those other girls I can kinda see but Beyonce Knowles just is not fit enough … I am not even going to pull the race card or even “She doesn’t look like Wonder Woman” she would have to lose a lot of weight & keep it off … something she has never been able to (w/out the help of PhotoShop)
June 10th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
I don’t remember Wonder Woman having cankles.
June 10th, 2010 at 7:01 pm
i really like JLH, and was hugely disappointed when GW got canceled (really stupid decision) – but she’s just not right for this part. For the reasons the blogger noted (as well as her height), plus her face is just TOO sweet/pretty. I like her face, obviously enough, but it just doesn’t jive with my impression of WW. Sorry, JLH – Still love you to bits! PS: i sincerely hope SOMEONE (CBS, ABC, don’t care) is decent enough to produce a GW movie to give the characters/fans some closure!
June 10th, 2010 at 7:36 pm
Bridget Regan, Molly Culver, Monika Schnarre, maybe even Rebecca Romjin or Natasha Henstridge, but not Jennifer. Love her, but she’s not right for it.
June 10th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
Nope, you’re right. JLove does not have the body. Too short, slope-y shoulders. She just does not embody STRENGTH. Please now, Wonder Woman came from an island of amazons, right? Statuesque Lynda Carter could pull that off and Jessica Biel, too.
June 10th, 2010 at 7:56 pm
Eh, I’ve always thought Kate Beckensale would have been perfect. She’s gorgeous and she’s proven she can do action, with the Underworld series. Hell effing No to Beyonce though!
June 10th, 2010 at 8:35 pm
Absolutely. JLH is well past her prime and is overweight in the wrong places. Jessica Biel and even Megan Fox could play it.
June 10th, 2010 at 9:25 pm
Leelee Sobieski should be Wonder Woman people!!
Amazonian Height… check.
Mesmerizing Eyes… check.
Chiseled Features… check.
Acting Ability… check.
Bodacious Assets… check.
Its a no-brainer!

Joss Whedon has been working the Wonder Woman script for years and he has certain actors he envisions for roles and sticks with the ones he know more often than not. He has worked with Eliza Twice (Buffy and Dollhouse) but I agree, she couldn’t do Wonder Woman justice…Just not amazonian enough. But everyone has overlooked Whedon’s Favorite Amazon Woman. Charisma Carpenter. She has the body for it and He has worked with her on both Angel and Buffy.
June 11th, 2010 at 12:14 am
Sofia Vergara has my vote and she has the body for it, but maybe someone else’s voice
June 11th, 2010 at 1:07 am
Principal requirement is that the candidate should not be a seriously talented actress – all the above qualify.
June 11th, 2010 at 1:16 am
Think about it people… If JLH got the part, she’d be subjected to weeks of rigorous work-out regimens. The studio would train her @$$ off (literally)! That can only be a good thing.
June 11th, 2010 at 2:11 am
Sandra Bullock?? Come on! She’s in her what..50s? Ditto Zeta Jones. If they want a big name it’s got to be Biel or Beckinsale since I didn’t know Fox refused the role. Beckinsale is a wee bit small for an Amazonian so I can’t see any one else but Biel, really.
June 11th, 2010 at 3:32 am
J-Love will need to prove she still has the bod!!!!!!!
June 11th, 2010 at 3:35 am
I have actually been pondering this question for a long time because it’s sort of impossible that DC will not try to bring Wonder Woman to the big screen.
The problem, however, is not that WW is muscular: it’s that she’s tall. In the comics, she and Superman are the two tallest non-giants in the JLA. And she has a 35-year-old face, not a 21-year-old face.
June 11th, 2010 at 4:12 am
perfect for wonderwoman ! she has a rockin’ powerful bod’ & looks natural & fiercely gorge !
June 11th, 2010 at 8:44 am
How about Catherine Bell? Tall, great body! Looks good in a uniform. And just beautiful. Emmanuelle Chriqui would also be a great choice.
June 11th, 2010 at 10:11 am
I still want Morena Baccarin to be Wonder Woman. Athletic ,exotic and way hot.
June 11th, 2010 at 11:23 am
Jessica Biel has manface. And can’t really act. I’d prefer J-Love.
June 11th, 2010 at 2:14 pm
Not a Jessica Biel fan, JLH is too short. Charlize Theron or Rebecca Romijn?
June 11th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
sHE CERTAINLY HAS THE teats TO CHALLENGE lYNDA cARTER
June 11th, 2010 at 7:31 pm
Celebs have been known to tone up for roles so that’s not a problem but if they want the film to be a success then her acting would be a problem.
June 11th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
Morena Baccarin is also a possible…A little more athletic than Charisma but I still think Charisma has the upper body for it.
June 12th, 2010 at 1:09 am
Yeah…except Megan Fox was never in the running because she has no interest in the role whatsoever. Pretty sure the second she was asked about it she said WW was a lame superhero. That’s just a fanboy fantasy.
June 12th, 2010 at 2:34 pm
BECKINSALE
June 12th, 2010 at 6:18 pm
How about Emily Deschanel? She already showed she could wear the suit well (on Bones). Acting chops she has, and a fit physique.
June 12th, 2010 at 7:27 pm
There is only one Woman for the role of Wonderwoman and that’s Monica Bellucci. It’s WonderWOMAN and not WonderGIRL, as most suggestions on the net are ridiculous… Monica however, embodies natural beauty, sensuality, with divine exotic amazonian features, all at a mature level. Also a perfect example of how a woman’s body should be, instead of the now-a-days “13 year old skinny/ no shape skeletons” that movie and the media forces upon us as ideal.
June 13th, 2010 at 10:06 am
Not a real big fan of JLH, but if you really think about it, she would be perfect for the part of Wonder Woman, more so than any of the above suggestions.
June 17th, 2010 at 2:00 am
Biel has a wonder uh lower half and JLH has a wonder upper half. Either gets my attention.
June 17th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
I`ll second Lee Lee Sobieski, as long as she does her own slow – mo twirl into costume!
June 20th, 2010 at 7:51 am
I can’t even believe JLH is in the running. As far as Beckingsale goes and Dushku… both whom I love, they’re just 2 short. Now 4 someone who I think would be ideal 4 the role; Charisma ( Buffy & Angel ) Casrpenter
Height 8
Weght 9
Physique 10
Features 10
Age 6 Better hurry up, she’s not getting youger; film the 1st two movies back to back and a 3rd one in a couple of yrs.
June 22nd, 2010 at 9:47 pm
I’d love to see Jennifer Taylor (Chelsea on 2-1/2 Men) pouring out of a Wonder Woman costume…! She at least looks the part, not sure if she has the acting chops, but probably could pull it off.
June 30th, 2010 at 10:55 pm
Baccarin would probably be good – Bell too if she looks as g8 as she used to….Deschanel is an interesting thought, but she might be too petite.
Hell no to Fox or Beyonce

Leelee…Leelee…Leelee…Leelee…Leelee!!!
