Hey, remember David E. Kelly’s “Single Female Lawyer” version of Wonder Woman which hilariously imploded? Well, just stare at the banner picture for a little while and all will be forgotten. Christina Hendricks just has that effect on people.
Nicolas Winding Refn (Bronson, the upcoming Logan’s Run remake with Ryan Gosling) has been talking about Wonder Woman for quite some time. He’s also been taking on more studio-friendly directorial jobs lately (Drive, the aforementioned Logan’s Run) to put himself in a position to be offered a big project like Wonder Woman. Now here’s the awesome news:
At the U.S. premiere of Refn’s Ryan Gosling neo-noir Drive at the Los Angeles Film Festival last night, Refn referenced the Wonder Woman project he’s long wanted to make, then pointed at his Drive co-star Christina Hendricks and said, “If I ever get to do it, she’s going to be it.” Hendricks would almost certainly be game — she told Rachael Ray last year that “I’ve been wanting to wear that outfit my whole life … I had Underoos — I had Wonder Woman Underoos.” Warner Bros., sign these people up now!

Listen to Vulture, Warner Brothers. DO IT. Also, find us some recent pictures of Hendricks in underoos. For research purposes.

good lord, please, no.
she’s not much of an actress. she’s a ginger. she’s not in shape.
having big cans and being the only fat girl in hollywood that the internets want to fap to does not mean she should be wonder woman.
I’ll take Firefly-era Christina Hendricks.
Now I’m going to be picturing Christina Hendricks in Underoos all day.
Yes please.
I think Zac Efron would be the perfect Wonder Woman.
Strong, athletic, yet still feminine.
I’d watch the hell out of this, but then again I’m not as ignorant and hateful as James Walker.
All the CGI in the world couldn’t make me want to watch her fat girl tits clumsily fight bad guys. Wonder Woman can NOT be a pre-diabetic
What Wendy said.
@King Dong Bundy: C’mon….You’re telling me that being smothered by Diana’s Cleavage of Justice doesn’t sound like a good idea to you? Not even a little bit?
Yeah, ’cause those goddamn skinny waif-ish chicks they have in superhero movies seem much more realistic. I think Hendricks could kick ScarJo’s and Malin Akerman’s asses.
ScarJo would run 5 steps and Hendricks would be out of breath. Size is not strength, especially if you’re as untoned and unathletic as she looks. Plus she’s a ginger (wannabe) show me ONE of them who has ever kicked anyone’s ass.
If I wanted to be smothered with a 200lb’s chick’s huge cleavage, I’d just ask my mom.
For all you saying she’s too fat or out of shape, you do realize that actresses like Scarlett J. had to go through rigorous training to get in shape for their action hero roles? Why should it be any different for Christina?
I don’t think she’s fat be any means, but she would have to tone up for the role. And those bitching about her hair color, it’s called hair dye. You act like these actors who are ripped in movies just slid out of their mother’s wombs that way.
I swear, some people just enjoy tearing people down.
All these Christina Hendricks haters are HOMOS!!!
Yeah! And all those HOMOS eat dick!
Thin doesn’t equal fit and vice versa. I’m tall and thin and I have several chunkier friends who could out run me. Also, check out the banner pic comparison — you don’t think they could work with that? Damn.
hEY J. Walker. Being a ginger makes Christina Hendricks perfect for Wonder Woman. Brunets are nice but red heads are pure heaven!
@ Ann: Everything you just said.
