Whos should be the new Wonderwoman??

Who should play the next Princess Diana of Themiscyra?

David E. Kelley’s new "Wonder Woman" show (presumably designed to fill the gap Clark Kent will leave when he finally becomes Superman at the end of this final season of "Smallville") is the latest attempt to resurrect the most famous superheroines of all time.

So who can fill the red and white boots so memorably worn by Lynda Carter in the 1970s? Here are a few ideas:

MEGAN GALE


In 2007, The Australian model / actress was cast in George Miller’s JUSTICE LEAGUE film, only to have the invisible plane pulled out from under her when that superhero epic was put into turnaround. At 35, she’s certainly older than they want to go, but the 5’10” Gale has the look.


MICHELLE RYAN



The 26 year old brunette Brit has already proven her super-powered chops in the short lived 2007 reboot of THE BIONIC WOMAN. She blends charm, innocence and strength just like Carter did in the 70s.

MISSY PEREGRYM


This 28 year old Canuck also has some experience in the genre, having appeared in DARK ANGEL, SMALLVILLE, HEROES and even Halle Berry’s lamentable CATWOMAN film (and if that didn’t put her off costumes, nothing will!).

SARAH SHAHI



The 30 year-old ex-cheerleader has a lifetime of training for the part; Not only is she descended from royalty (her great-great-grandfather was an Iranian king), but she has a brown belt in karate and had some Sapphic experience on TV. Shahi appeared in Showtime’s THE L WORD, so the transition to the all-female Paradise Island would be a piece of cake.


LAKE BELL



Not the softest actress in the bunch, this darkly beautiful 31 year old could be a good fit for a tougher version of the Amazon princess. She was even trained in stage combat, so if this Wonder Woman uses a sword, we’re in business!
