Beyonce Wonder Woman Role – Beyonce has revealed that she is in talks to play Wonder Woman.She told the LA Times that she wants to be the first black Wonder Woman and will team up with DC Comics and Warner Bros for the project.She tells the paper:
“I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman? It would be great. And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It’s time for that, right?”
Beyonce continues:
“After doing these roles that were so emotional (Dreamgirls, Cadillac Records) I was thinking to myself, ‘OK, I need to be a superhero.’ Although, when you think about the psychology of the heroes in the films these days, they are still a lot of work, of course, and emotional. But there’s also an action element that I would enjoy.”
Beyonce added:
l: “I would definitely have to keep it right for that costume. The way that Lynda Carter wore it, she was sooo fine. She was amazing. I saw her costume at the Met. Her waist was unbelievable. It was pretty crazy, actually, her proportions. But I love Wonder Woman and it’d be a dream come true to be that character. It sure would be handy to have that lasso. To make everybody tell the truth? I need that. It would come in very handy.”
Beyonce singing=yes.
Beyonce acting=nooooooo.

Wtf.. go away beyonce.. wonder woman was not black.. you cant go changing history because you feel like you should be a super hero. megan gale is the perfect fit for this role. because she aesthetically resembles the original character so well. and no.. it is not “time for that” just because obama the legend is now present does not mean there should be a black wonderwoman arghh and race isnt even important “a powerful thing” wtf. the actress needs ot look like the character.. simple as that. and you do not. dont see people going and putting in white actresses for storm, they stayed true to the comic.

Hey there, Shaniqua… I mean Charisse, it’s not about a non-white playing the role. It’s about someone who’s not of the character’s ethnicity playing the role. I have black friends and I grew up watching four black television programs and I loved those shows. I have no problem seeing black people in roles. The characters need to be kept in their original ethnicity. I would flip out if they had anybody who wasn’t black play Storm, Blade, Black Panther, Deathlok, Luke Cage, Silhouette, Bishop, or any other characters who were originally black. In the words of some black people, “That’s not what it need!”

This is ridiculous it won’t work with Beyonce, just like it didn’t work with the Honeymooners. The Kramden’s and Norton’s weren’t black. Come on ppl Beyonce is no Linda Carter just like Cedric the Entertainer was no Jackie Gleason; she is not the person for this role. I hope hollywood doesn’t destroy this iconic figure being politically correct.
