Joss Whedon - "Wonder Woman" Movie - Who should play wonder woman?

[snippety do dah]

So for now, let's ... wonder. Kate (Evangeline Lilly) from "Lost," perhaps?
Or how about Kate Nauta, who plays pistol-whipping Lola in "Transporter 2"?
Lindsay Lohan said it would be "cool" to play the star-crowned demigod.
Mischa Barton, Eliza Dushku and Katie Holmes are all rumored to be
interested. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Sandra Bullock were reportedly thought
to be too old.

And apparently Lucy Lawless was offered the role and turned it down. [(! ! !
! ! ! ??)]

As much as I'd like to see her do WW, I think I'd rather see an unknown play
the part, mainly because I can't think of anyone right now who would be
perfect for it. A ten-years-younger Lucy, or Lauren Graham, would be my
first two choices.

David

Wow, that surprises me. I think she'd be perfect for the role and I'm
surprised (assuming the rumor is true) that she would turn this down.
Especially after she agreed to do WW's voice on the Justice League DVD.

As far as who does get the part, if it's not LL then I'm hoping for an
unknown, athletic actress.

Of the ones that article put on their top list:

Charisma Carpenter: I liked her on Buffy but I'm not sure I can
picture her here.

Priyanka Chopra: She's pretty and I don't know her. If she's
athletic then she'd probably work for me.

Megan Fox: same as above, except she seems kind of young

Morena Baccarin: seems like a good choice to me

Evangeline Lilly: She's OK but too well known right now IMO.

Cameron Diaz: Dear god, NO!!!

Denise Richards: again... dear god, NO!!!!!
