On Digg I found information that supposedly Joss Whedon is in talks to get Indian actress Priyanka Chopra to play the part of Wonder Woman. If this is true I think it's brilliant. It's long past time for a non caucasian actress to play Wonder Woman. As Wonder Woman is from an island of women who came from the era of ancient Greeks, sge would not be caucasian. She'd be olive skinned or darker with the type of Grecian features seen on statues from that era.

      I stumbled into your site while I was looking around Yahoo! Answers. I tacked it to my favorites, which is getting awfully crowded. I'll try to help out when my commitments slack off.

      To add a comment, my sources tell me that Joss has gone Bollywood, indicating that not only will the star be Indian, but the whole production.

        I have heard the rumor too except the way I read it it was more like he was considering a Bollywood actress (Priyanka Chopra) as the lead. I went to youtube and found a very nice interview with her. I actually think she would be a great candidate! She is well spoken, intelligent, and is one of the few Bollywood actresses who are willing to get into action films (she's done a few there). I have to say, if he chooses her I would be quite satisfied. By the way, she's also a former Ms World. Wasn't Lynda Carter involved in that pageant pre-WW?
