The CW has begun casting for their television version of Wonder Woman, “Amazon,” and they’ve put out a casting call looking for a mid-20s woman who is over 5’10, and once you’ve exhausted Adrianne Palicki — who has already tried and failed to be Wonder Woman — there aren’t a lot of options that come quickly to mind. My choice? I don’t know. Not a lot of young, CW-level actresses with height come to mind. Jaimie Alexander? She might be too popular after the Thor sequel (she’ll play Sif), but if the CW acts now, maybe they can lock her down for a few years. Who would be your choice?

The internet will not tolerate Jaimie Alexander as Wonder Woman. She’s the type specimen of “pretty girl pretending to be a geek”.
I can forgive her pretending to be a geek, because she’s pretty. Sif haunts my dreams, and not in a bad way.
Yeah cause we all know there’s women pretending to like nerdy shit just to get the attention of those hot, hot geek guys.
You know dude comments like this work for established bloggers but when they come from guys like you they make you look like you are trying too hard to fit in. It’s kind of pathetic
Anyway back on topic yeah I guess Jaimie Alexander might do but she is too much of warrior type. The essence of Wonder Woman is pretty much parading her rack around so I think a simple hot girl with big breasts will work better. Like Emily Ratajkowski . I can see this [25.media.tumblr.com] working
Gina Carano. She’s 5’8″, but slap some big ol’ boots on her and you’re good to go.
Lots of deep v-necks, skimpy superheroine outfits, slow motion.. baby you got a stew goin’!
nice.
I’m surprised there isn’t more a race going here. Can DC get her for Wonder Woman before Marvel gets her for She-Hulk?
Jessica Biel, but for the eventual Justice League movie. Not a TV show.
Since just about everything Jessica Biel’s involved in is terrible, I say no.
About the only mid-20s actress over 5’10″ I can think of is Karen Gillan. Who is wonderful in many ways, but really not the Wonder Woman type. Too ginger. And too Scottish.
Is tall really a requirement for this? Because I really want to see Rachel Bilson permanently wearing that suit, even if she can’t pull off the acting part.
So much this
Just put Lisa Loeb in the costume for 5 min. so I can have a permanent boner.
Let’s be indelicate here. Wonder Woman has big hooters, and Jaime Alexander doesn’t. Find the next Lynda Carter out there, please.
My choice? How about finding an unknown who fits the part instead of trying to fit a famous, possibly less talented square into a circle?
Phoebe Tonkin or Shelley Henning from Secret Circle.
Tania Raymonde from Lost.
Janet Montgomery from Made in Jersey (she might be too old)
I second Phoebe Tonkin. Right age, perfect look, and has already been on some other CW shows, which apparently is good for her CW prospects.
Kat Dennings. Worth any price to see her in the Wonder Woman outfit.
I see that Jaime Alexander has a bit of a drinking problem.
Banner pic. Think Airplane.
Lynda Carter was 30ish when she played the part back when dinosaurs like me roamed the earth. Why does that matter? Because Christina Hendricks, that’s why.
Right, except this is supposed to be about a teenaged version of Wonder Woman, before she was Wonder Woman. Because the teenaged viewing demographic is a thing, I guess.
Right, right — except looking at the CW ratings numbers, I’m not convinced the teenaged viewing demographic actually is a thing. Wanna bet the audience for this show is actually going to be 45-year-old men?
^ It’s an odd fit for the CW, whose entire marketing strategy appears to be “Shirtless Men”. A teenaged Diana before she became Wonder Woman would take place entirely on an island inhabited only by women.
I said it before and I’ll say it again: Alice Eve would be perfect
the tightening of my pants seems to agree with you
I would like to nominate Alexandra Daddario
Brooklyn Decker. Might have to dye her hair, but she has been trying to make a run of acting, and has been decent. 5’9″ is pretty close, right?
