Following a number of reports and rumors that Jaimie Alexander is possibly being considered for the role of Wonder Woman in the upcoming Batman vs. Superman movie, anything the actress says about the character will be severely scrutinized…and for good reason.
Just two weeks ago, she admitted to having talked with Warner Brothers about the film and knowing the general plot of the 2015 world’s finest of team ups. Then, it broke that Alexander is on a short list, which also includes Olga Kurylenko, of actresses set to audition for a part in the movie. A wondrous part.
So, when pressed on the issue, by Mr. Softball Jay Leno of all people, Alexander had the chance to quell the rumors once and for all. Assuming of course that they are rumors. Instead she said:
“It would definitely be a cool job….I was a huge fan growing up. Not just of the show, but the comic books too.”
This is hardly the answer of someone who isn’t in discussions for a part. In fact, one can easily imagine a PR scenario where such a non-answer bit of praise for the character and her literary roots are an easy non-committal answer.
Of course, it is all speculation right now. Yet, for an actress who has often been cast as Wonder Woman by fans countless times to have now been in talks with Warner Bros. about their potentially billion-dollar 2015 tent pole is quite curious. To say the least. As is her warm words about the tiara-heroine.
