Megan Fox Disses Wonder Woman, Won't Play Her

A live-action Wonder Woman movie has been in some stage of development for a long time now, ever since Joss Whedon was real close to making it a reality. Recent rumors have suggested that Warner Bros. is still interested in finding a way to bring the character to the big screen in order to eventually incorporate her into a Justice League film, but execs are taking their time with the property to make sure they get it right. At some point in the past year -- while the Wonder Woman news had been quite scarce -- someone decided to create a fan made WW poster with Megan Fox decked out in the superhero's classic costume. This, of course, led to rumors that the high-in-demand actress might be suiting up for her first solo superhero flick, though nothing ever came of it and Fox moved from Transformers to Jonah Hex and Fathom.

Now, though, according to statements she made to Times Online, it would appear as if Fox will never ever play Wonder Woman simply because she thinks the character is, well, lame. Says Fox, "Wonder Woman is a lame superhero. She flies around in her invisible jet and her weaponry is a lasso that makes you tell the truth. I just don't get it. Somebody has a big challenge on their hands whoever takes that role but I don't want to do it." The Times Online also claims Fox turned down the chance to take over for Angelina Jolie in the Tomb Raider series, so don't expect to hear her name associated with that re-invented franchise either. For now she's just doing her thing.

Oh, and I love this quote (on what she did to prepare for her role in Jonah Hex): "I didn't even train for this role," she laughs. "Just quit smoking - that's all I did. My weight fluctuates constantly. I don't really take good care of myself. I'm not that type of girl, I don't pamper myself, I don't have a special diet, I just sort of exist and survive. Whatever happens, happens."

I agree Joe. Lynda Carter's beauty blows Megan Fox away! They need a very beautiful striking actress to play Wonder Woman and someone with a not so frail body like Fox.

Wow that fan poster is horrible. What did they do to her head? Why is the head weirdly shaped? Why is she balding????

Great news for both Wonder Woman and Tomb Raider. Now they can get real actresses for those roles.

The character being lame is not the issue, the issue is her being a lame representation of the character, and I totally agree with joe and MDR...

if it had been made earlier, milla jovovich wouldve made a great wonder woman..instead of playing ultraviolet. but i think that it needs an athletic,blue yed,dark haired beautiful actress. and im sure lynda carter will have a cameo in the film. maybe ww's mother the queen on paradise island. hmmmm....

I believe it's been commonly accepted that she isn't a real actor in the sense that she cannot act convincingly in anything other than a one note role. She's eye candy, a young pretty face. Once she starts getting wrinkles, cellulite, and saggy boobs it will be painfully obvious that she's a b-movie actress at best.

Ummm, obviously she's not familiar with Wonder Woman. She has a helluva lot more than that lasso, She is super-strong, super-fast and can even block bullets from machine guns.
A SFX version nowadays could be a serious vehicle for a woman. She's chaste,loyal and even a Princess. She has a good job and is respected by Superman.
How is that lame?

Exactly Christian! The only one who is lame is Megan Fox, when Wonder Woman comes out and makes a lot of money for the star actor who plays WW. Who will be lame then?

What about Morena Baccarin? She's not necessarily a well known commodity but as far as looks go she looks like she would work to me. Milla is a little too thin and angular to work as WW imo.

Because too many guys have told her how great she is in the hope of going to bed with her. She thinks she's got Oscar winning potential from all the BS being thrown her way. I also don't much care for women who disfigure their bodies with tattoos, especially on their legs. Why not leave that for sailors to do? Right now, Megan Fox is talking like she's God's gift to mankind, so she should shut up.

Fine. Good. Who cares? She doesn't fit either role. Has she EVEN proven she can act yet?

Yeah, she wasn't the best for the role anyway. I doubt she could carry a movie by herself unless she rented it.

...and Batman dresses in rubber, drives around in something ludicrous enough to be called a Bat-mobile, and throws bat-shaped boomerangs at clown-like criminals. Talk about lame!
I'm perfectly happy with this news, I think. :)
