Director Nicolas Winding Refn has already stated he wants Christina Hendricks to play Wonder Woman, and studio execs at Warner Brothers have told him the success of his Logan’s Run remake will determine if he gets to make a Wonder Woman picture. Hendricks has already said she’d love to play the character. In other words, Hendricks recently telling Access Hollywood and Vulture that she’d like to play Wonder Woman isn’t a groundbreaking news flash, but it is about both Wonder Woman and Christina Hendricks and we have a picture gallery below. THIS IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE.
Hendricks has repeatedly stated her admiration for Refn as a potential director for a Wonder Woman film. Among the many nice things she’s said about him, she told Vulture:
I did Drive was because of Nicolas Winding Refn, the director. I had seen Bronson and I was floored by it, and I said, “I want to work with this guy. I don’t care what it is.”
And yet he didn’t immediately start filming a new movie called Trampoline Bikini Party? You dropped the ball, Refn. I thought we were friends.
Also worth noting, Jennifer Vineyard of Vulture brought up the BDSM facets added to the character by creator William Moulton Marston. When asked. “Would you want your Wonder Woman to be that kind of dark, sexually liberated character? Bring back the bondage?” Hendricks said:
Well, I would certainly do what Nicolas wanted to do, and I can only guess what his version would be, but as I grew up with and am now married to a comic book fan, I think it’s important to be true to the original comic books, because I know that the fans love every detail and it’s very important to them. So I think it would be cool to do that. I look forward to learning more about it, actually. I should probably start reading them, so that if someone were to ask me [to be in the movie], I would be fully prepared.
You hear that Refn? She’ll “certainly do” what you want her to do. Don’t drop the ball again. We assume you’ll be stopping by soon to borrow our trampoline, yes?

Could someone better than me at Photoshop PLEASE get to work on this? Thank you.
Isn’t she too old to play Wonder Woman?
Really? What a HORRIBLE choice! WW was an AMAZON warrior. There’s a world of difference between a soon to be middle aged Hollywood bimbo with big bazooms, and a warrior princess who, while she did have the body of a Miss America (literally), could also kick your butt without breaking a sweat. She could beat you down, all the while you were ogling her assets.
This chick does NOT fit the bill.
Can you photoshop obesity out of a movie?
Ummm hi, are people here actually saying that Christina Hendricks is too old and/or “fat” to play Wonder Woman? If so, I have a few comments:
a) She is arguably the most beautiful woman on the planet, and that’s not just because of her giant breasts.
b) Actors’ reputations mean nothing for casting because…example: that australian guy from “10 things I hate about you” is playing the joker? Lame. Yeah remember how poorly that turned out?
c) It’s a movie! Special effects plus amazing cast and crew equal a good movie, it doesn’t matter if Christina Hendricks is too old or too weak or whatever, that’s what the editing dept. is for, to make movie magic.
Case Closed.
Um, doesn’t WW need to do things like run? Or fight? I fail to see how that’s possible with those massive chesticles. Maybe if they were filming a porn version … but lets keep the broads with triple z chests away from action hero roles, okay?
It doesn’t matter if she is weak/old/fat or whatever? That’s what the editing dept is for, eh Scott? Then why cast her in the first place? They could cast anyone. Dumb ass.
Yeeahhhhh no. She’s zaftig, not Amazon Warrior. Also, I’m pretty sure WW’s powers didn’t involve her face having more plastic and botox than flesh.
Response to LovestoSpooge:
Exactly my point, you could cast anyone, so why not cast someone with some acting chops and not Michelle Rodriguez for the 50th time. And…to also reference something else, remember Uma Thurman in Kill Bill? Pretty amazing even though all of her stunts were preformed by Zoe Bell, so yes, you can cast a normal actress and get one of the most memorable female leads in an action film of all time. And since this is the internet…shut up you whiny bitches and accept the fact that even if you get your way and some 110 pound twenty something plays Wonder Woman the movie will still suck.
It’s just a shame that there isn’t some magical potion, or technological process that could alter the color of her hair. Other than that, she could make a fine WW.
Arms like a chicken wing and thighs to match- ready to butcher this casting
Yeah, actresses have NEVER dyed their hair or lost a few pounds for a movie role.
Funny, I don’t recall people bitching about Lynda Carter’s b00bs playing WW.
You folks are nerds of a degree heretofore uncatalogued. I’d pay 20 bucks just to watch her breathe for 90 minutes.
She’s not a good Amazon period. Yes, she can lose weight, yes she can learn to fight. Age is a factor, but she’s not too old yet. The main thing is she is a curvy woman. It’s the way she’s built. Even with losing weight she would never resemble the comic shape. No matter how hard she tried. She’s also about 6 inches too short. The point of casting comic characters is to cast someone who looks like the character not trying to mold someone who doesn’t.
As much as I love Hendricks’ work on Mad Men, I think she is a terrible choice for WW. My choice for WW would be Katy Perry and the film would be a superhero action/musical. My choice for director would be David Fincher.
