Wonder Woman Movie

[Raph's Girl]

As we all know Gal Gadot is playing Wonder Woman/Diana in the DCCU starting with Batman v Superman. Well now casting has begun for the Wonder Woman solo film! Starting with Chris Pine as Steve Trevor!

Now, I wonder who'll play Etta Candy?

Nice choice. I think he'll do a good job as Steve.

So no Captain Kirk for Green Lantern, eh?

[Leo656]

But I WANTED Captain Kirk for Green Lantern.

I guess they could still get Eric Bana, but... he's kinda old now, ain't he?

[Jester]

He pulls off green fairly well...I guess.

They're going for "old" with Batman, why not an Old Hal? Might segue nicely into him going rogue and doing "Emerald Twilight" into someone else being the main man for a while.

Not that that'd ever happen with Geoff Johns waving the torch around.

I'd dig that brother. I'd dig that a lot. Not saying they couldn't, hell I'd love it. Just don't think they would. Even though they should; Eric Bana looks exactly like the way they drew Hal in the 80s/90s and I think they should just run with it.

I'unno, I think since they're specifically making the next one "Corps", not just "Green Lantern", there's room for multiple solo films with multiple Lanterns down the line. They could very well do Twilight, Kyle, all that stuff. Incredibly truncated, perhaps, and rather unlikely. But they could, and if Corps does well they very well may.

Since we're fantasy casting, who's our pick for Guy Gardner? Y'know, since Denis Leary's 80 now. Man, they really wait too long on this damn stuff.

And Johns used the Parallax stuff all the time in his books. I mean yeah he brought Hal back to the forefront, but it's not like he hand-waved the Parallax era, quite the opposite. True, making Hal's heel turn come about not from rage and grief, but from an alien parasite, was kind of a cop-out. But eh, Comic Books.

Rewind 10, 15 years, Dennis Quaid would be perfect. In fact, that's who Darryl Banks patterned Hal after during his run.

Eric Bana Green Lantern?



Yeah, I'm down with that! He'd be a great choice.

I edited b/c I misread your post when I first replied, Andrew.

It's not even a question. Stifler was born to play Guy.

But more in Goon-mode, not literally Stifler-mode.

[Leo656]

Man, I hate that guy. I mean, you're not incorrect, but I personally can't stand that guy. I hate him in everything, and while I know Guy's obnoxious, he's a personal favorite and I'd prefer he be played by someone I wouldn't want to shoot in the face every time I saw him. If I had any say at all.

Dude sure has a lotta tooth goin' on. That's distracting.

That's kind of the reaction Guy is supposed to evoke in people. And I like Guy.

[Leo656]

I suppose. I mean I can definitely see it. I hope we get a solo Guy flick where he briefly gets Sinestro's ring. That'd be hot. I'd like each Lantern to get one solo film after Corps, and then eventually, a second Corps movie. They could do the whole Twilight/Kyle Solo/Rebirth stuff over just 5 years if they each got a linked solo movie, and then the second Corps movie could be loosely based on the Rebirth series. That'd be a neat way of doing all their Big GL Stories spread across several pictures with different tones and storylines. Makes sense to me. "I'd book that sh*t".

Maybe we should get back to Wonder Woman before we get yelled at. Ares is probably gonna be in it, I figure. Who should get tapped for that gig, I wonder?

Whatever we get will be solely based on the stories of Geoff Johns (and if there's any other stories in there, it'd be filtered through his lens), so I wouldn't expect much or any of that beyond Guy being one face among many in some kind of ham-fisted and forced Sinestro Corps War.

Principal photography is underway on Warner Bros. Pictures’ Wonder Woman feature film, the highly anticipated action adventure from director Patty Jenkins (“Monster,” AMC’s “The Killing”), starring Gal Gadot (the “Fast & Furious” movies) in the role of Diana Prince/Wonder Woman. The character will make her big screen debut this spring in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” but the new film will mark her first time headlining a feature.

The film also stars Chris Pine (the “Star Trek” films) as Captain Steve Trevor, Robin Wright (“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” Netflix’s “House of Cards”), Danny Huston (“Clash of the Titans,” “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”), David Thewlis (the “Harry Potter” films, “The Theory of Everything”), Ewen Bremner (“Exodus: Gods and Kings,” “Snowpiercer”), Saïd Taghmaoui (“American Hustle”), Elena Anaya (“The Skin I Live In”) and Lucy Davis (“Shaun of the Dead”).

She looks like Padme there. If I didn't know better I'd say that was Natalie Portman reprising her old Star Wars role.

[Leo656]

I'm pretty sure they're both from Israel. A strong resemblance isn't that much of a surprise, honestly.

Everything I've seen and heard so far is intriguing. I like the idea of how it will be at least partially-set during World War II, and how it will play heavily on more mythological elements like the Gods and Ares and Circe and all that.

Like "Captain America" meets "God of War". I'm all over that. I'm guessing the parts set in the past will display how Ares was the aggressor manipulating events to plunge the world into war, and then the modern scenes will show the parallel of how he's doing the same thing once again, possibly as a way to help set things up for the JLA movie.

Should be pretty good. I heard they had a rocky start but it looks like they've pulled everything together pretty nicely.

Do people actually want a WW movie? I know people online have whined about one for years but does the general public want one? The tv show didn't get picked up for a reason. Gal Gadot is very attractive and I don't mind her as WW and she looks cool in her promo pics and I'd like to see her be a cool character in Justice League but a period piece just screams Captain America: The First Avenger rip-off. Hopefully I'm wrong, I've never thought WW was a cool character but enjoyed her in Bruce Timm's shows and the animated DTV.

I've mentioned this before but yeah I don't think the Green Lantern film was that bad (really what was so bad about it besides trying a bit too hard to be Iron Man/Generic Marvel film?) so I don't really want another origin film with GL or Hal, keep it in vague continuity if you must or just say Hal is off on another system and make it about other Green Lanterns. GL while I don't actively like the concept I always end up enjoying the stories. Man, I'm excited for all the DC output but I'm already feeling like I will be burnt out just like with the MCU.

Looking good so far. I think Gadot's gonna do great as Diana.

She's the most iconic female superhero in the world. Why the heck WOULDN'T people want to see her have a movie?

And the TV show didn't get picked up because it was just plain bad, not because of the character.
