The CW Is Seriously Casting A Wonder Woman Show

Have we discussed CW’s plans to do for Wonder Woman what they’ve done for Green Arrow and Superman?

Because they’re actually casting that Wonder Woman pilot from comic book scribe Allan Heinberg even though he’s not done writing the script.

Of note is that the lead of “Amazon” isn’t Diana, but an original character, Iris. Not that they’ve SAID she’s original. She could be Diana in disguise. Or, and this is just my fevered early morning pre-caffeine dream, she’s another Amazon sent to the Man’s World to maybe find Diana? I’d be down with that.

She’s described as:

completely unschooled in our world, our culture, our customs. And she’s completely inexperienced at interpersonal relationships. She has no social filter, does not suffer fools, and tends to do and say exactly what’s on her mind at all times. She’s bluntly, refreshingly honest. She can tell when you’re lying to her. And she doesn’t have time or patience for politics or tact because she’s too busy trying to experience everything our world has to offer.

And she’s also apparently a badass warrior and leader from Paradise Island.

So basically this:

Plus this:

Are you crying tears of joy? Because I am.

And does she maybe sound like some other Amazons we’ve met before? And can we maybe hope that she isn’t ACTUALLY Wonder Woman?

And seeing as she’s not Diana she no longer HAS to be a blue haired, brown-eyed 6 foot tall white chick. Instead they’re casting a wide net (so maybe more than just white girls) and looking for a mid-20s woman who is 5’8″ or taller. So please. Start fancasting this role now.

I’ll start.

What? It’s early.
