Beyonce Knowles wore a superhero-esque metal glove on her hand for the MTV EMAs on Wednesday night and according to the singer/actress she's ready for the cape part too. She recently revealed that she would love to take on the role of Wonder Woman on the big screen. She said it would be "a dream come true" and that having a black woman in the role would be "a powerful thing." So what do you think — would Beyonce make a good Wonder Woman?

i don't know if i would be able to take the role seriously if beyonce was playing WW. she could do an ok job but i still don't think that it's the best thing for her.
1im not really feeling it. i liked the idea of megan fox as wonder woman though.
2nah, she's a singer not an actress. KATE BECKINSALE would be a great wonder woman
3Eh I can't see it and I don't really want to...
4she is not an actress. Much better women out there could be WW.
5HELL NO!! This woman does NOT need to be cast in anymore movie roles. Beyonce doesn't need any small parts either because she cannot act worth a damn. And she gets jealous when another female wins any award over her.
And what is with Beyonce promoting herself lately? I heard just yesterday that she wants Barack to consider her for the main act at his Inauguration. Come on Beyonce...you stink at almost everything you do.
Other people have carried this woman to fame, she didn't want to give the other singers in their old group any credit. She bootlegs other peoples music and doesn't want to give the original writer any credit for it. Beyonce is and never will be a classy female to me.
6The woman can't act. So NO.
7*Beyonce never will be a classy female to me*
I don't know why I added "is and" in that sentence...oh well, we've all made our little mistakes on here
8WTF!?
9She needs to stick to singing and leave acting for the pros.
10I said yes, but only because I assume she can act, because she got decent reviews in Dreamgirls. (Which I haven't seen!)
I love Kate Beckinsale- but I definitely don't see that as a good role for her!
11There are worse singer-cum-actresses out there.
12i think she's a horrible actress. She's very one noted.
13Umm..I have nothing against Africans, African Americans, or "black" people, but I think that since Wonder Woman was white, a great, light skinned actress who LOOKS like Wonder Woman should play her. I really hate it when people don't try to get actors/actresses who look like the people they are portraying. I felt the same way about La Bamba last night. Lou Diamond Phillips does not look like Ritchie Valens and the guy should have found someone who did look more like him, IMO.
14Megan Fox For Wonder Woman!
15Pallas- I disagree with you entirely. I think a black actress could play Wonder Woman no problem and it's interesting to me that your problem isn't with Beyonce as an actress it's with her skin color. Sounds like you have something against Africans, African Americans or "black" people to me.
I think Beyonce shouldn't go anywhere near Wonder Woman. The role needs an actress who can actually act and give various notes to the character. Beyonce is a one note actress. I would hate it if she did it and I would probably start to hate Beyonce too.
16DITTO PINKNC!
I really don't get all of the hype...
17Er, Beyonce can't act. Why would ANYONE want to consider her for ANY movie?
18I have nothing against black people, my two half sisters are Haitian and I don't consider them any different from me. In fact, the only time I don't like people are when they're stupid and that isn't being racist. I don't think that Beyonce is a great actress, but she is okay. I don't think she should win any awards for her acting, but she is okay. I thought she did quite well in Dreamgirls. I just want to see someone who looks like Wonder Woman play Wonder Woman. Megan Fox looks like her, but if they tried to get Angelina Jolie to play her I would object to that, too. Angelina Jolie doesn't look like Wonder Woman. I already said that if someone is going to play a person (fake or real) that they should look alike.
19Nope, not in the least bit!
20I think it's really something whenever someone brings up someone else being racist, then the opposite persons comeback is always how many black people they've have over to their house, work with - so therefore they socialize civilized with them, black friends from school, or possible half raced family members
Hey, just be honest. Too many people see color first.
I just think Beyonce stinks at being an actress...simple as that.
21Stop trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
22PinkNC, I honestly couldn't care if Beyonce was an alien from outer space. Race doesn't matter to me at all! I make my friends based on their personalities, not their race. I'm just saying that if Beyonce even looked like Wonder Woman (which she doesn't) and was a great actress then I'd have no problem watching her play Wonder Woman. I don't really like Megan Fox, but she is a great actress and she looks a lot like Wonder Woman. I think she could be the actress to play her. If Wonder Woman were black, then I would still say that Beyonce shouldn't play her. They just don't look alike and Beyonce couldn't do justice to the role.
23Beyonce brought race into the conversation, by saying having a black woman in the role would be a powerful thing. I truthfully believe we should be color blind. And the best actress should get the job, not just because they look like wonder woman (because truthfully, it's a comic book character first and foremost) and definitely not because it would be a powerful thing to have someone of color. I think many singers think they can be actresses, and many actresses think they can be singers, and it RARELY works. Beyonce is an example of just that. Someone like Halle Berry is a wonderful actress, but after seeing what she did with catwoman, I think she should stay away comic book characters... Maybe someone with more curves would look great in the outfit maybe scarlett johansson but I will leave this decision to the directors.
24I'm not saying she wouldn't look good as a wonder woman but I want more than someone who looks good and she's not a good actress for the part imo
25Personally, I think that Zooey Deschanel would be a great candidate for WW. Where ever I go, everyone tells me I look like WW. It's weird.
26No because Beyonce is not a good actress. I don't get why people are freaking out about Megan Fox, she's not a good actress either.
27I'd have to say no
28I agree Megan Fox for Wonder Woman!!! Kate Beckinsale is also a great choice.
29Megan Fox for Wonder Woman http://wonder-who.com/index.html
30Someone needs to give Beyonce a reality check. She thinks she can do anything, she thinks she has it in her to win an Oscar. She is a terrible actress and needs to stick with singing where she shines.
31Charlize Theron.
32I would have to disagree with Charlize Theron. Have you seen Aeon Flux, superheros and her do not mix well.
I'd do more for Kate Beckinsale. She was awesome in Underworld
33F.. that. I am black and I am saying HELLS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. She should stick to singing and leave the acting for pros. Jennifer Hudson acts better than her. She simply can't act and I would not watch the movie.
34Ummm...someone needs to tap Beyonce on her shoulder and let her know that she can't act...just a suggestion...
**And in terms of race being injected...the world should be color blind...but unfortunately it's not...I mean since when do movies have to be ethnically correct? Elizabeth Taylor played Cleopatra and lord knows she's not Egyptian..I mean the list could go on and on...instead of focusing on how they should look...lets think about who can act the part and not make the movie bad...
35I think Megan Fox would be great for Wonder Woman. Not only does she look the part, but she's apparently really into comic books/graphic novels/whatever. It just sounds like a good fit to me. Much better than Beyonce.
36NEVER. Please, no. This is the stupidest thing i heard (after the Sasha Fierce alias). This girl needs to get over herself. She thinks she's some kind of goddess, some iconic singer and now wants to make history as wonder woman.
37I agree with everyone that trashed this stuck up, wanna be diana ross b*tch!! Just like the others who've commented, I'm sick of this b*tch constantly hogging the spotlight!! She can't act, her singing sucks, and she thinks she's all that when clearly SHE ISN'T!!! How dare she think that she can do anything?! Newsflash diva, YOU CAN'T!!! And I can't wait till her little marriage is OVER!!! SHE IS NOT THE S--T!!!!
38Oh, and I hope she falls and bust her ass again onstage! That was hillarious! Serves her right for always thinking that she's so hot.
39No way because she can't act.
40I think Beyonce has a great voice, but she should stick to singing. Why does she want to act as well? I saw her in Austin Powers and Dream Girls, and she just does not have any real screen presence or acting skills. I'd rather have Jennifer Hudson playing WW
The whole discussion about having actors who look like the original play the role seems shallow to me. Who would have thought that Anthony Hopkins could morph into Richard Nixon, or that Nicole Kidman would make a great Virginia Woolf? The whole point of real acting is that you create a figure and the public sees that figure.
41I think she will LOOK great in WW costume. So will Megan Fox thou, hmmm..now I remember Megan Fox, she's HOT.
42BACK to Beyonce, can she act as a WW?
I really think that whoever they choose for the role, she should be believable and a pretty good actress to pull off such...a..character.
I've not watched Beyonce in the movies so I can't tell if she's a good actress or not.
if she were a better actress i'd be all for it, but too bad she isn't.
43she cannot act for sh*t!
44i rather prefer Kate Beckinsale- think she was meant to be WW.
NO! NO! NO! Beyonce's no actress. She needs to just STOP making movies. She's not successful at it, and she can't portray anything other than a singer onscreen, as evidenced by her film roles (all
singers). The sad thing is that she doesn't portray them WELL.
I'm surprised she brought up race...well, maybe I'm not because then the topic changes from "her acting record isn't that great" to "can an African American portray WW?"
I wouldn't care about the color of Wonder Woman's skin. Rosario Dawson could probably do it. Kate Beckinsale could probably do it. Jessica Biel could maybe do it--she's athletic but I don't know if she'd have the chops for it. Megan Fox would look good in the suit but she's too young if you ask me.
I like Beyonce, but only as a singer. Why she--and others--insists on trying to become an actress, I'll never know...
45Ugh, I can't stand her. She is a horrible actress. I think Kate Beckinsale would be a good ww.

I completely agree with Artemis and whoever suggested Rosario Dawson. Beyonce can't act AT ALL, I pray they don't let her stilted, tele-promter line reading ruin any more movies.
47Seriously - you hear wonder woman, the first person that came to mind is ...Beyonce?
Don't think so! I second Megan Fox for Wonder Woman!
48Pallas Athena, I see what you're saying (and I'm a 'colored', though not black, person). Not wanting Beyoncé to play WW because of her skin color can be entirely valid and non-racist; Wonder Woman just isn't black! I don't understand why people get so upset over anything that has to do with race, just for the sake of race. Skin color should be seen as just another physical trait here, and a requirement for the role. Suppose we had a white guy playing the role of Malcolm X or something? That would be just as silly.
49The original wonder woman Lynda carter is Half Irish and Mexican..
