WONDER WOMAN news, for what it’s worth…
If you’re a fan of DC Comics, especially if you’re an ardent fan of Wonder Woman, you may want to take a seat… at least, assuming there’s any meat to this slice of comic book movie news pie.
According to ComicBookMovie.com, the website recently Beyonce speak at a press conference about some of her upcoming projects and amongst them was Wonder Woman. She stated she had met with writers Stuart Beatti and David Elliot (GI JOE: RISE OF COBRA) and director John Moore (MAX PAYNE) and that they plan to start production by mid-2010 with a release expected for late 2011.
As I said, there’s not a lot of meat to this, but it’s curious that she appears to have some inside info. Perhaps the powers that be feel that Wonder Woman would make a great platform for diversifying the comic book movie audiences, who knows? I’m less concerned with the actresses ethnicity that I am with her talent on screen.
Beyonce’s resume as an actress hasn’t been impressive. Her last outing was the under-achieving OBSESSED. Prior to that, she’s been cast in singing roles for THE FIGHTING TEMPTATIONS, DREAMGIRLS and CADILLAC RECORDS. Her break-out role, so to speak, was as Foxxy Cleopatra in AUSTIN POWERS IN GOLDMEMBER. There won’t be any singing in WONDER WOMAN (Oh God, I hope not!) so, what do we think? Does she have what it takes or is this just simply blasphemy?

…because this is what Halle Berry was thinking about when she accepted that Academy Award on behalf of all the women of colour whom the door would be opened for. It's why she made CATWOMAN. Maybe Halle Berry couldn't be Wonder Woman, but she could push open that door for another black American woman, and why not Beyonce — Sasha Fierce can even record the "Wonder Woman" theme song from TV as a single produced by Jay Z!

Megan Fox would be a better pick.
I like Beyonce, I think she is talent. But she´s definitely a black woman.
She tries to be a little less black with every make-up design.
