With Marvel kicking its butt in the feature film department, DC is desperate to save face these days with movie studios. The Wonder Woman project got a much-needed boost with the announcement that amazon singer Beyonce would love to play the main character.
“I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman?” Beyonce told LA Times blog Hero Complex. “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?”
Beyonce said that she’s already met with DC and Warner Bros. to discuss the role.
“After doing these roles that were so emotional I was thinking to myself, ‘OK, I need to be a superhero,’” said Beyonce. “Although, when you think about the psychology of the heroes in the films these days, they are still a lot of work, of course, and emotional. But there’s also an action element that I would enjoy.”
