Beyonce as Wonder Woman?
“What would be better than Wonder Woman?” says the singer to the LA Times. “It would be great. And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It’s time for that, right?”
Well, with the trend of female superheroes, I doubt this is going to be a good idea. The last two female heroes I can remember, Elektra and Catwoman, didn’t fair well in the box office and reviews were poor. For this to work, it’s got to be taken seriously by a team who is passionate about it.
Joe Johnston to Direct Captain America
From the man that gave us Rocketeer, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Hidalgo, and Jurassic Park III, Joe Johnston will direct the Marvel produced Captain America movie. “First Avenger: Captain America” will be released on May 6, 2011 in theatres, so don’t make any plans. Captain America was Steve Rogers, a scrawny weak lad, who became a super soldier, with the help of an experimental serum, to fight the war for the United States.
After hearing the news, all I could think about was how awful Jurassic Park III was. But then again, I did enjoy Rocketeer, which both the Rocketeer and Captain America are a biproduct of World War II.
Did you know? Captain America made a brief appearance in The Incredible Hulk DVD/Blu-ray deleted scenes.

Beyonce as Wonder Woman would suck. She can’t act.
Johnston might be okay as the director for Captain America. I hope it’ll have a serious tone. He directed October Sky and that was a pretty good drama.
When I first read it, I thought Johnston and Mark Steven Johnson were the same guys. Steven Johnson directed the crappy Ghost Rider. I’m glad they didn’t hire him.

yeah, last time I checked, Wonder Woman was a Greek Amazonian. What next, Beyonce wants to play Pocahontas, or Mulan?

I dont care what color Wonder Woman is….as long as they can act and are right for the part.
Beyonce is out of control, since when did shaking your a%^ of stage equate to actual acting? Maybe someone needs to sit her down and show her the DVD of her work…has she not seen Goldmember or the Fighting Temptations? My problem with these Superhearo Films is that they usually dont do justice to the comic/graphic novel…Hence Elektra and Catwomen or one of the greates offenders…Charlize Theron in AeonFlux! Unless the script is good and the actors are good, this will be a flop…especially if Beyonce is in it…Don’t just put these pop culture stars in it to fill in seats…here’s a thought, how about actually making a good movie?

Technically, I think the amazonians were a group the greeks met up with, not actually greeks themselves. Beyonce as Wonder Woman however, I think would make me want to vomit my gizzards out.

Yes, you’re right. But since they were fictional characters and made up by Greeks, they probably would have liked like them?

i think beyonce as wonder woman would not be a terrible thing. the whole thing about wonder woman being greek, in case you didnt know, greek is a nationality not a color.
