The Top Ten Realistic Wonder Woman Candidates
There’s been plenty of hype about a potential upcoming Wonder Woman movie. And some actresses like Jennifer Love Hewitt have openly expressed interest in playing the role. So taking into account a number of factors, I decided to come up with a list of 10 actresses I felt could capture the role quite well.
What factors might you ask? Well first of all, no blonds. Sorry Paris Hilton. Second of all? I’m trying to take into account their popularity as well as acting experience. I mean sure I can strap on 10 really hot brunettes we don’t know, but there’s at least something about these 10 women that would probably “work” here.
So let’s dive right in.
Jessica Alba
Alba is an obvious choice but certainly appropriate. Anyone who’s seen Sin City and Dark Angel can certainly understand where I’m coming from here. She’s had experience with action movies and wouldn’t you just love to see her in that outfit kicking ass?
Jennifer Love Hewitt
Hewitt is the furthest from this role out of anyone on this list simply because she just doesn’t seem like the action type. However, given she wants to play the role I think she could nail it. Just imagine Hewitt going to the gym for 6 months and then blasting out with an amazing body. It could work.
Megan Fox
Any Questions?
Kristin Kreuk
I think she’s got a great look for Wonder Woman. Plus she’s got the comic book experience with her role on Smallville. She may seem too sweet and innocent but no way. Anyone who’s seen Smallville knows she has her badass moments on the show.
Carmen Electra
I think Carmen Electra would be great for any superhero movie female lead. It’s just a question of her acting. Is it good enough? Frankly I really wouldn’t care.
Demi Moore
You have to admit. Demi Moore, even in her 50’s would kick ass as Wonder Woman. Think about it. She’s a very good actress. She’s been in action films. She’s got the perfect hair and body for the role. I think she could pull it off and quite well I might add.
Olivia Wilde
Just because she’s like the “it” girl right now. It would make perfect sense for her to step in for this role. Something tells me she’s already been asked 100 times.
Leighton Meester
Yes, Leighton Meester. The Gossip Girl star was born for that uniform. And given her impending sex tape you know she’s got the attitude.
Jessica Biel
Action movie experience. Rock hard body. Sexy, yet very tough looks. Biel could easily do well on that invisible airplane.
Mila Kunis
I think this is a great selection. I’m not sure what happened to her in Forgetting Sarah Marshall but Kunis is a bonafide hottie right now. I think she simply grew up. She looks more like a woman now. Attach a “wonder” in front of it and I think we have a great candidate.
I’m sure there are more out there but I like these 10.

I definately like the ten you mentioned here but I’ll throw Kate Beckinsale and Jennifer Connelly into the mix. Connelly has the look but Beckinsale has both the looks and the ass-kicking ability.
@ ComfortableMadness
Connelly would make a real good Wonder Woman if she could pull off the action. She’d have no trouble with the acting.
I think I like Demi the best out of all the potential choices.
I think Connelly looks too much like a dude but I agree that she does have a wonder woman look. I almost think Beckinsale is above the role. Sure she’d be good but she’s all British and classy and stuff.
I have to say I disagree with most of your choices. The Wonder Woman character was made to look like an “Amazon.” They have to be somewhere along the lines of Brooke Shields or Lucy Lawless. But I could definitely see either Demi or Jessica Biel playing that role.
I have to agree with xtheenderx.
Most of these women are too small in stature. You need someone in the 5′9” and up range I would think.
I personally think Rebecca Romijn would be a solid selection.
Where is Angelina Jolie? Surely she is a little old for the role but if there is anyone in the world who possess the “Amazon” look, it is her.
one name and one name only….rupaul
Olivia Wilde has the face. Jessica Biel has the body. The rest are too soft, too small, too child-like, too old, or too whore-ish. Megan Fox is horrible for Wonder Woman - you need a strong woman you admire for her strength as well as her beauty. Not someone you want to throw over the couch for a quickie.
(Except for a couple) That was a pretty shitty list.
Most of them would.. I guess… work as Wonder Woman. Olivia Wylde is my best bet though.
As for Megan Fox.. She’s a pretty girl. But such an attention whore. If she had the least bit of acting ability to back up her looks I’d care a little bit for her, but I’m getting very sick of this obsession over her this past year or so. She’s not the best looking girl in entertainment today, by far, and she’s certainly not the best actress either. It just seems to me like all these dudes who go on about how hot she is are only doing so because the dude next to them is saying it. And he’s just repeating what everyone else down the line is saying.
Sheep mentality. Hello Idiocracy!
It’s been mentioned already, but I think Lucy Lawless would definitely nail it.
Lawless in her prime “Xena” days is practically already Wonder Woman with a color scheme change.
Megan Fox might be good-looking according to people that don’t mind dead, talentless eyes. (So the question would be: did you just pick her because she’s everywhere nowadays, and “hot”, or do you actually think she could pull off a role that doesn’t just require bending over different parts of machinery?)
And Kristin Kreuk is just terrible in every aspect of the word, so I will just assume that you hate Wonder Woman.

Please Joss Whedons original pick of Charisma Carpenter is spot on. I don’t have half the enthusiasm for this flick that I had when he was at the helm. And whoever said Megan Fox wasn’t hot. Puh-lease! The woman is a looker, but her acting… idk I’ve never seen her act. And Demi is awesome, but she is too too old for this role I think. I do think it should go to a woman in her 30’s.

check out Bridget Regan ..she is on a syfy show called The Legend of the Seeker…she would be perfect for the role.
Wonder Woman is an Amazon - ergo a tall woman. Several of these choices are clearly not Amazon material (even though they’re hot actresses with talent). They would have to go with someone with actual size - she doesn’t have to be 6 feet tall, but she can’t be short.
IMDb “Monique Ganderton”… uber hot stunt woman that could nail down the Wonder woman action… has doubled for Rebecca Romijn (Mystique in x-men) and Bridget Moynahan… plus, she’s tall.
Another vote for Bridget Regan. The woman IS Wonder Woman.
Yvonne Strahowski of the Chuck TV series would make a very good Wonder Woman. She’s got excellent set of knockers (always a requirement), she can act, she’s tall, and she can do action scenes. Actually, I think she’d be close to perfect for this role, except that she’s a natural blonde, but she would still look good as a brunette. She’s just that HOT!!
Olivia Munn FTW.
The woman to play wonder woman whom ever it turns out to be has to have amazonian qualities.Tall and curvacious are the qualities whe must have.Unfortunately lucy lawless seems to have lost some of her size but if she can regain it she would be perfect.I really don’t see too many women today fitting this bill.If Helga from American Gladiators could act she would be perfect for the part.She is a strong,curvy and gorgeous woman.
I honestly dont like all 10 of them… i do love Kristen Kruek from smallville but shes short gal. but theres only one actress that definitely fits the role ….its BRIDGET REGAN of Legend of the Seeker. She is just PERFECT….c”, )
Reading the description, I had such hopes for this list but it was essentially the same carbon copy of all the vapid ‘let’s put any remotely hot chick in the suit’ kinda list. Carmen Electra?! Mila Kunis?! Megan *yaawwnn* Fox?! Feel my wagging finger of shame!
… and why eliminate blondes or redheads from the list? Yeah, they have this stuff called dye. Lots and lots of actresses use it. Totally changes your haircolor! Pfft.
silverhorizon is made up of ample amounts of genius! I almost credited you with complete genius genetics but Kristin Kruek is heinous. Short is the least of concerns in regards to casting her as Wondy.
Bridget Regan is the first and so far only choice I have felt completely able to embody Wonder Woman. Beautiful, great (natural) figure, impressive and believable in her fights scenes and best of all a very talented actress… and a natural redhead who looks incredible with her raven locks.
