Nicolas is a big fan of yours as well. He really wants you for Wonder Woman. Would you do it?
Sure! I grew up on the TV show, and I had Wonder Woman Underoos, and my brother had a Wonder Woman doll — sorry, Aaron, you're exposed. [Giggles.] And Nicolas said, when we were on set, "I want you to be Wonder Woman." And I think he is such an extraordinary and exceptional director, that if he asked me to do it, I would do it in a heartbeat.
Funny enough, when Joss Whedon was going to direct Wonder Woman, you were one of the people he was considering ... so you've got two directors who think you're right for the role.
I'd like to think that Joss would have cast me! I also loved working with Joss [on Firefly]. I'm excited to see what he does with The Avengers. Hopefully the stars would align [for Wonder Woman]. It would be really fun. It would be cool, wouldn't it? I'd get to kick ass.
Would you want your Wonder Woman to be that kind of dark, sexually liberated character? Bring back the bondage?
Well, I would certainly do what Nicolas wanted to do, and I can only guess what his version would be, but as I grew up with and am now married to a comic book fan, I think it's important to be true to the original comic books, because I know that the fans love every detail and it's very important to them. So I think it would be cool to do that. I look forward to learning more about it, actually. I should probably start reading them, so that if someone were to ask me [to be in the movie], I would be fully prepared. [Grins.]
UPDATED! Courtesy of Access Hollywood - “I think [Nicolas] thinks I would be good in that role. I loved working with Nicolas so much, he’s such an incredibly talented director,” the 36-year-old Emmy nominee continued. “If he gets to direct ‘Wonder Woman,’ then I would love to do it with him.”
By the way Nicolas Winding Refn's
Drive is getting some great buzz and is a must see for me. The director has repeated ad nauseum his desire for the gorgeous and voluptuous Hendricks is his number one choice for the role of
Wonder Woman. Nicolas is a very loyal director, once he casts you in a film, it's a given you'll be asked back. Just ask Ryan Gosling who is starring in
Drive and will be in Refn's next film, and then another, the remake of
Logan's Run. Refn also is a fetish director, he likes to combine sexuality with some odd kink in most of his films. I'd be very happy with a sexually kickass
Wonder Woman.
