Those would be some hot acquisitions of they can land them.

From the TV/Movie board: According to HeroicHollywood, Sean Bean and Eva Green are possibly being eyed for the parts of Ares and Circe.
CBR post.
I'd be thrilled with Green playing Circe, if she plays the part like she did Artemisia.
Bean playing Ares... not sure really, but if this is the case it seems a bit like they are just going with a boring generic visual interpretation of Ares rather than something more interesting.
I'm so excited by that rumor, but...
Ares and Circe are two of Wonder Woman's biggest, baddest big bads. Having both of them in the film would leave little for a sequel, IMO, in terms of big, evil, powerful plotters. Unless, which would most likely be the case, Ares dies and Circe lives to strike back in a sequel. But I really hope they don't make Circe a lesser villain than Ares (or, shudder, a subordinate/minion of Ares). I've been dying for a major female villain in a comic movie. Eva Green would do an amazing job as Circe, IMO. Sean Bean is always great, but it's no secret I'm a fan of an eye candy Ares.
Considering Miyabe's track record, they both might be in the movie, but they might be different parts altogether (see: the Chris Pine fiasco).
Maybe the Bean is going to be Zeus.
It's possible that one of them could be the main villain while the other would be a more "shadowy mastermind" type who will become more prominent in a potential sequel.
