Teresa Palmer Cast as Wonder Woman?
Filed under: Action, Casting, RumorMonger, Fandom, Comic/Superhero/Geek
Word has it this morning that Wonder Woman has finally -- thank the friggin' Lord, I tell ya! -- been cast in the upcoming live-action Justice League of America. Moviehole reports (via the director of one of the gal's most recent flicks) that Teresa Palmer has, in fact, landed the role. I'm going out on a limb here, but I'd say the director Moviehole spoke with was Ron Hardy, who worked with Palmer on December Boys. Since that was an Aussie pic, and Clint from Moviehole is an Aussie, I'd imagine he's pretty close to the production. But I could be wrong, and if I am, Clint will send us an email.
Anyway, this looks to be a bit stronger than any other rumor -- Clint has already updated the post telling us an Aussie newspaper is running the rumor today, and the entire online community is buzzing. Could we finally have our first official (damn you Biel!) Justice League cast member? Palmer is an up-and-comer; she got her start in Wolf Creek as a background actress, before going to do films like The Grudge 2, December Boys and the upcoming Kids in America. She's Australian, which automatically makes her sexy enough for this role in my book, and she's 21-years-old. Nothing is set in stone yet, but you might as well start debating -- is Teresa Palmer a good fit for Wonder Woman?

As long as she dyes her hair black :P. Don't recall her acting chops (good thing or bad thing??). I'm still concerned over the whole recasting of Supes and Batman likelihood. Court is still out on this one

She looks a lot like Rachael Taylor until you get a closer look.

She looks good, but I read elsewhere that she's only 5'5. Wonder Woman, the Amazon princess, cannot be 5'5, can she?

This has to be another rumor. I hope it is. I cannot believe that they are giving the part to an Aussie, when there are hundreds of American actresses who could eaisly play, and look the part of an American Icon. Nadia Bjorlin, Megan Fox, just to name a few, have not been asked too test. They look the part way more than Palmer. Like I said this could be nothing more than a rumor.

NADIA BJORLIN, FROM THE MOVIE REDLINE, WOULD MAKE AN INCREDIBLE WONDER WOMAN. SHE HAS THE TOTAL PACKAGE. LOOKS, HEIGHT, EYES, PERSONALITY.
