Who should play Queen Hippolyta In A Live Action Movie?

[Punisher007]

I think that they'll most likely get a "big name" actress to play Hippolyta. That seems to be what CBM's do, cast relative unknowns in the main role, and then surround them with more high-profile actors. Given that Patty Jenkins is directing this, my first thought went to Charlize Theron. She's proven that she can play "queen" characters before. I still offer up Cate Blanchett as a possibility as well.

Claudia Black.

I always thought Wonder Woman's mother being blonde was just a visual aid to differentiate the two. Regarding fan service, omitting Lynda Carter would be criminal. Should she be Hippolyta? Depends.

[Charmed]

Angelina Jolie.

YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

Sure, A Jolie can play the queen if we need a psycho in real life and on screen!

Laura Prepon or maybe Alana de la Garza both with dark hair

I remember Prepon in That's 70s Show and remember her acting as being very underwhelming. Has she gotten better since?

Claudia Black.

I'd rather her for Cheetah, but I wouldn't mind her as Hippolyta, either.

Team Charlize Theron all the way. Regarding Lynda, I heard a recent interview with her and her voice has changed, it's noticeably older. Why not give her grey hair, no glam makeup, in fact make her look older and give her a meaty role, something like Julia Kapatelis if she's in the DCCU. Or a senator? But yeah, I hope Lynda is somehow involved, if only as a consultant.

Lynda Carter plain & simple. As Hippolyta she would be great especially if they mention her adventures in the JSA(oh wait they don't exist) during WWII but I doubt that anyone is going to use Lynda Carter as Hippolyta because that would make sense & they don't do that in DC.

You want to make a naturally beautiful woman older?

Make her an amazon that has been off the island for awhile to explain her age (they age off the island maybe), or just give her a part that doesn't have to necessarily explain her age. We don't have to know that Gal is 30 or 300, right?

Lynda Carter - period.

Well, first, I want a blonde Hippolyta. I've always preferred that. And Theron got an Oscar under Patty Jenkins direction, so there's a chance she could be cast.

Second, sure. Why not make Lynda appear older with a well-written role and potentially great character, like Kapatellis? It'd be a chance for Lynda to prove her acting chops. But yeah, IF Lynda is Hippolyta, they do need her off the island for decades to explain why she aged.

That would be a nice way to honour her indeed.

I guess I am not understanding your idea of Lynda being made to be older. Is it because she looks better than many actresses that are 20-30 years younger than her? According to you, she speaks 'older' now, so not sure what the point is to make her look older.

Lynda Carter as it's only the most fitting role for her in a Wonder Woman movie and a great easter egg for the fans.

Actually I totally agree. Lynda is still one of the most beautiful women in the world. And btw, at one point she arguably was THE most beautiful. I love Lynda. I also think she has more acting depth than she was ever allowed to show. I would've been psyched to see her tackle a role like Farrah Fawcett did in The Burning Bed. So really, all I'm saying is maybe if she were given a meaty well-written role in WW, and if they didn't do all the glam hair and makeup, this might be Lynda's shot to stretch and prove her true abilities. Again, what gave me the idea was hearing a recent interview and Lynda's voice sounded older, and it got me to thinking what might happen if she played Kapatelis, with a short grey wig, etc. As for her playing Hippolyta, that seems too predictable. It's exactly what people would expect. So throw us a curve ball instead.

EDIT: here's the link with the soundcloud track of Lynda's voice in interview.
