Biel was in discussion for the role of Wonder Woman back in 2007, when Warner Bros. was still attempting to bring Justice League: Mortal to the big screen. Biel passed on the project for undisclosed reasons. In 2009, Biel stated that "if Wonder Woman had the right script and it was really powerful and emotional and interesting, I would be into that kind of thing.” So how does she feel about the role in 2012?
Jessica Biel: No I don’t see myself as an action start because I do so many things. If I did only action movies and that’s all I was known for then I would feel more appropriate to say it. I just feel it’s one aspect of this business that I love. I feel lucky that I can tap into it occasionally. It’s a genre that I enjoy doing, it’s fun.
Question: Would you ever consider playing a female super hero?
Jessica Biel: That would be great, where are they, where is that one, they’re really hard to find.
Question:What about Wonder Woman?
Jessica Biel: I think Wonder Woman is a tough one, I think people have had a really hard time adapting it.
Question: Is there a character in the back of your head you wouldn’t mind playing?
Jessica Biel: No because I really don’t know much about comic books. I know the classic characters but I think the female characters you are talking about are probably a little bit more obscure.
Maybe we'll see Wonder Woman on the big screen someday. Currently Man of Steel is the only DC adaption on Warner Bros.' film slate and while there are numerous rumors and other projects in development, it's anyone's guess as to when or if we'll see a wider variety of DC superheroes on the big screen.
