Nice! I hope this happens

Jaimie Alexander should be Wonder Woman














We
comic fans and some general movie audiences getting into the comic scene
already know of Jaime's role in Marvel's epic, THOR as the formidable
asgardian female warrior, Sif. What if she tackles the more iconic and
enduring superheroine of DC comics known as Wonder Woman.




Thor
is arriving and with a flurry of actioned packed scenes as well as a
star- studded cast.Comic book films have evolved in a variety of unique
ways and now more women are proving their physical manifestation of pure
strenght and will. Sif, the asgardian warrior,partner, and eventual
love of Thor will show that power. Many men have doubted women to be
physically prepared for a superhero role, but that will change in the
upcoming years especially with Zack Snyder's "Sucker Punch" releasing
soon, which features a team of women kicking ass all kinds of ways.
However, if there is one film to show the true leadership and vigor of
women, it is DC comics Wonder Woman. Most men, especially non-comic
readers of the character will come to quick conclusion and already pan
the project as a fail or waste of time. Wonder Woman is not to be
underestimated nor any other female character of the genre. There are
many comics today and from the past that show women displaying might
that is potentially equal to Thor or Superman. For the misogynists still
bashing women, they should get used to change and the fact that women
are equal to men in any field. More comic book films or action films
should feature more women in the leading role.


Most comic fans are already aware that DC is planning for a
tentative release date by 2013 for Wonder Woman. The casting process and
script writing is most likely in full swing by now. This is part of
DC's plan to introduce a Justice League film, which in gratitude of
comic book movie editor, Pietro Filipponi, we know is confirmed. Here is
the link to the article in which I am referring to:

another article from another one of comic book movie editors,
DCMarvelFreshman, showing a rumored 2013 release date for Wonder Woman:

The Flash one of DC's upcoming projects in full swing by now, is
another male superhero to be appearing on screen, but is one of the
members of the Justice League, who respects Wonder Woman's authority.


Wonder Woman has an origin that is just as interesting as Superman
or Thor or any other male superhero already featured on the big screen.
As a matter of fact, her story is epic.

This is her story:


"Born in Themyscira on the island of Paradise Island, she was the
daughter to Queen Hippolyta. When the Greek goddesses created the
Amazons, all the souls of women killed by male violence were given
rebirth as Amazons from the clay at the bottom of the Red Sea, save one,
which stayed in Gaea's womb for thousands of years. After their exile
to Themyscira, Hippolyta found herself wishing for a child. She was
instructed to mold some clay into a baby girl and Diana was blessed and
granted powers of the gods. She was given beauty and a kind heart from
Aphrodite, wisdom from Athena, strength and power from Demeter, hunting
instincts and communication with animals from Artemis, and speed and
flight from Hermes.
When she was a young woman, she spotted a "metal bird", in reality, the
plane of pilot Steve Trevor, whose copilot had been possessed by Ares
and was seeking to crash the plane into Themyscira, killing the Amazons.
Diana rescued Steve, and the gods decided that there should be an
emissary and Hippolyta held a contest to chose the woman who would
travel from Themyscira. Hippolyta forbade Diana to compete, but she did
so anyway, won easily, and became the emissary to the outside world. She
was given a costume based on the army patches of Diana Rockwell Trevor,
who had crash landed on Themyscira decades earlier and saved the
Amazons during a battle with an escaped creature from Doom's Doorway.
Diana has also given up the mantle of Wonder Woman a few times to fellow
Amazon Artemis, mother Hippolyta, and Donna Troy.


Before traveling to Man's World, she was given some items. She was given the Lasso of Truth and the Sandals
of Hermes, which allowed her to travel places in a snap. Her mission
was to study the people living on Man's World and defeat Ares and bring
peace. Upon arriving in America, she fought against injustice and met
Harvard professor Dr. Julia Kapatelis and daughter Vanessa Kapatelis as
well as Steve Trevor and Etta Candy who were both Air Force officers.
Living with Julia and Vanessa, she swiftly learned to speak English.
Diana was given her name, Wonder Woman, when Decay, one of Ares' minions
attacked her, and the fight came onto the streets. A reporter coined
the name based on the emblem on her chest. Discovering Ares' plan to
create a nuclear holocaust, she showed him what would happen, not just
to the mortals, but to the gods who need their worship, with the Lasso
of Truth. Ares, humbled, returned to his home dimension. Sorely injured,
Diana returned to Themyscira where the island and Amazon medicine
healed her.


She returned to Boston and worked with a woman called Myndi Mayer to
show that Wonder Woman was here to protect. She spent months doing
interviews around the world when she met most of the Justice Leaguers.
There she met Superman and was completely infatuated with him. (Diana's
mother, Hippolyta, actually joined the Justice Society of America when,
in Diana's future, Hippolyta traveled back in time as Wonder Woman).
With Wonder Woman's touring, she caught the attention of Cheetah who
wanted to steal the Lasso of Truth from Wonder Woman. She told Wonder
Woman that she found the lost Girdle of Antiope, but once Cheetah
grabbed the Lasso, her true intentions were revealed.


She returned home once again and the gods were satisfied with her
work. Zeus, however, was more than satisfied with her work, and offered
to make her a goddess if she would agree to sleep with him. Diana
refused and she was given the Challenge of the Gods. She was ordered to
retrieve his fondest treasure. Hippolyta was not happy, but she could do
nothing about it. In the deepest pits of Paradise Island, she met Diana
Trevor who was the mother of Steve Trevor. Diana Trevor revealed that
she had helped the Amazons of Themyscira and died during battle. Wonder
Woman discovered that she was named after her and also the origin of her
costume. Hippolyta found Wonder Woman, however, and they embarked on
the quest together. Together they find Hercules, turned into stone. They
bring him back to the surface. With thousands of years of punishment on
his shoulders, he begged to be forgiven with what happened to him and
the Amazons. The Amazons forgave, a celebration was held, and the gods
were happy with Diana. She returned to Man's World to continue her
mission.


Once she returned, Myndi Mayer set up another interview. The Silver
Swan turned up and both battled but did not defeat her. She stayed once
again with Vanessa. Wonder Woman found herself thinking about Superman
more and more and asked Myndi to set up a date between the two. On their
date, the two battled against Darkseid and freed Olympus. Afterward,
they both decided it was best to remain friends. Wonder Woman knows of
Superman's dual identity and he trusts her enough with it. Wonder Woman
is also one of the few who call him "Kal".


The gods decided it was time for a vacation (or "cosmic migration"
as they like to call it), but Diana decided to go to Greece and discover
the past of her ancient people. There, she met Julia Kapatelis'
parents, but had a strange feeling towards one of the smaller islands
near Greece. It turns out that Circe lived on one of the islands and
sent her minions to capture Diana and bring her to Circe. Circe revealed
that she killed Hippolyta's sister, Antiope and the prophecy of Hecate.
Circe was about to use a spell that would bring Diana back to her clay
form, but Hermes came just in time to save her.


The gods summoned Diana, Hippolyta, and Menalippe to destroy the
rest of Olympus, which was almost done by Darkseid. It was time for
Olympus to completely rebuild itself. They were able to do what they
wanted to, and they also voted if men and outsiders would be allowed to
come onto their island. They voted yes, and Diana invited Julia and
Vanessa to be the first guests there." Courtesy of Comicvine.com


Having an understanding of her origin, how can anyone dismiss it as
boring and a waste of time. Think of Thor mixed with Superman but
female. It will be unique to see how a woman from a mysterious island,
only inhabited by women, can adjust to an environment where both women
and men coincide. It will be so cool to see her handle a bunch of thugs
underestimating her physicality since she is a woman. The mythology of
her story is intriguing. Just imagine the beauty of Olympus shown on
screen and how Princess Diana
recieved her powers from her suit from many different greek gods.
Paradise Island would be eye-candy for male viewers as women vigorously
train and relax by the sea. Similar to Thor's experience in asgard but
his story is less glamorous.


The pilot Steve Trevor crashing on the island will be an intimate
and entertaining scene showing Steve's attitude toward the warrior
women. For example, he notices the island is dominated by women and he
believes it is heaven and tries to charm the women. The Amazons do not
take his charm lightly and immediately attacks him. He runs and
frantically wonders how are such women possible. His conversations with
Diana will justify differences between women and men. Diana will believe
all men are disgusting and brutal. Trevor will explain that there are
men who are not like that and are just as compassionate and respectful
as women. The fight scenes will look incredible as Wonder Woman carries a
large object and hurles an enormous object with Herculean strength.
Then there is the lasso of truth. That would be enjoyable to see as she
uses it on her enemies. Hercules can make a cameo during her life in
Olympus or Paradise Island. Just like Marvel's approach to Asgard, DC
can portray Paradise Island and Olympus as scientific or cosmic places.
The Greek gods and amazons can be an alien race. Paradise Island can
resemble Bermuda Triangle. An invisible island noone can detect. Could
explain why airplanes and ships have crashed there.


Superman can have a cameo or refference in the film. There is a
scene where she can look at a newspaper and revel at this one man who
saves the people of Metropolis. She can begin to realize that there are
some men, who are not as brutal as her mother and fellow Amazons
percieved them to be. Maybe Batman can also be referrenced such as a
news report of a masked vigilante who saved a woman and a child from a
group of men in Gotham City again making Diana curious about the tales
of men killing for war, which her mother may have told her when she was
younger.


There is so many possibilities for this film. Also, Wonder Woman has
epic enemies such as Ares. Wonder Woman can become one of the greatest
comic book films on record if done right and cast wisely also directed
by a person who feels confident in doing such a different superhero
film.


Jaimie Alexander is the perfect Wonder Woman primarily for her
beautiful looks, but take into account of her experience as an actor
thus far. She was awesome in Kyle XY. She played a strong character and
yet she is playing an even more hardcore character, Sif. With all the
rigorous training she endured for the role and acted under the guidance
of Kenneth Branagh, she is more than capable of pulling off a badass
Wonder Woman.


Did I mentioned that she was interested in being the Amazon we all love?

Well here is an interview from MediaBlvd around 2007 with her stating interest in the role:

MediaBlvd> "When you’re looking for projects that you want to be
involved with, are there specific things that you look for? What do you
use to determine what projects you want to be involved with?"


Jaimie> "I always read the script first. I don’t care who’s doing
the film, I want to know what the script is, and I have to make sure
that I like the script and that it’s well written. Then, I look at who’s
backing the film or TV show, and then I look at the line of things that
they’ve done in the past and I judge from that, how good or bad the
project could turn out. Character wise, I always look for strong female
characters. I really like vulnerable characters with special abilities.
By special abilities, I don’t mean super-powers, but more like somebody
who’s got to save the day. I like the hero characters. But, I also have
this new thing for playing dark and evil characters. Jessi is kind of a
mix of both. I love superheroes. I would love to do Wonder Woman, or
something like that. I like stuff with a sci-fi or supernatural element.
Those roles are always fun to play. You don’t see that in everyday
life, so it’s an adventure, each time you do something like that."


After Thor, I am sure everyone will be convinced that she can don
the tiara,red top, and blue shorts with white stars. If Ryan Reynolds
can be Green Lantern and Deadpool so should Jaimie as Sif and Wonder
Woman.
