Things are moving fast on the Wonder Woman pilot. Not only has a director been settled on but the search for the new Wonder Woman is already under way. According to the casting sheet circulating the Internet, Wonder Woman producers are looking for:
WONDER WOMAN / DIANA THEMYSCIRA / DIANA PRINCE] Female, late 20s to 30s. A kick-ass Superhero / Powerful C.E.O. / A vulnerable woman. Long flowing black hair, blue eyes. Amazon-like, muscular, an Olympian. The charismatic stage presence of a rock star. A crime fighter. Also, a real woman who yearns to live a normal life. She is accessible and appealing to all people, men and women alike…SERIES LEAD. ASP.
This is quite encouraging in my view (sans the "vulnerable woman" nonsense). Someone in Hollywood seems to have figured out that a superheroine, just like any superhero, must have a redoubtable presence if she is to be taken seriously. In other words, if the above is to be believed, the producers realize that they are looking for Wonder Woman not Wimpy Woman.
We also have good reason to think that at least two auditions have already taken place—Jill Wagner and Tanit Phoenix. Expect the casting process to continue at a fast pace, considering that the target date to start filming is March 15.
The poll here has been heating up as well. Over the last few days I have received several excellent nominations. I will be mildly shocked if the new Wonder Woman isn't to be found there. Without question a few of the women listed in our poll fit the description to a T!

Too bad Gina Carano is going back to MMA. I know a lot of fighters that fit the description and it would be interesting if they went that direction.

I think it's funny they limited it to blue eyes. I would make a great Wonder Woman lol. Well, I competed in a Wonder Woman costume this year and will again at the Indoor National Championships. http://www.youtube.com/user/trkgal08?feature=mhum Well, whoever they choose, nice to see they're going for an athletic woman who actually looks like she can kick some butt!

Loree, you'd be perfect! Blue eyes? Nothing some colored contacts can't fix :) You should try out!

Yes, they announced it late yesterday -- NBC has its Wonder Woman.
It appears they deviated from the casting sheet too; see my post for more on that.
