25 Actresses Who Could Play Wonder Woman (Minus Megan Fox)

There's been a lot of speculation on what actresses could play Wonder Woman, the world's most famous female superhero. And since she's traded in her stars and stripes for a more universal costume, actresses from all over the world have a shot at playing the Amazonian warrior princess. So who could fill Lynda Carter's sexy boots as the next Wonder Woman in an all-new costume? Here's a look at a few candidates (minus Megan Fox):

Eva Green - This French beauty is definitely one of the sexiest (and most talented) actresses that could play Wonder Woman, and she's also got the dark hair and striking eyes that Lynda Carter had. She's also played one of the only Bond girls that 007 has ever fallen in love with and director Bernardo Bertolucci seemed pretty smitten with her in his movie 'The Dreamers', so it's safe to say that her real-life superpower might be the power of seduction (and you know producers would love to use that to their advantage).

Cobie Smulders - Could the statuesque hockey-loving Canadian from 'How I Met Your Mother' play a superhero? I don't know, but she's one of the actresses here I'd love to see don the Wonder Woman costume and give it a whirl (I just can't picture her doing the Wonder Woman twirl!).

Rose McGowan - She's set to play another comic book vixen, Red Sonja, so she might as well use her new superhero skills in another film. She's one of the actresses here that doesn't quite have the height for the Wonder Woman role, but I guess the superhero could get a height makeunder to go with her new costume makeover.

Ashley Greene - Sorry Kristen Stewart; your 'Twilight' costar Ashley Greene deserves to be seen as a leading lady, and she's got the right look for the Wonder Woman role (although she's one of the actresses here whose price might be a little high after being part of a movie franchise that was such a mega success).

Olivia Munn - Well, she looks great in a slave Leia costume and fanboys love her, so while she's not my favorite of the actresses on this list, she already has plenty of fans that would pay to see her as Wonder Woman.

Kelly Brook - Perhaps she's not one of the best actresses in the world, but maybe she'll prove herself in 'Piranha 3-D' (okay, so I just put her on this list because I would pay to see her in a Wonder Woman costume, old or new).

Katie Holmes - There was once a rumor that she might be the next Wonder Woman (well, I guess if Tom Cruise was cast with her, she might look tall enough for the role).

Mila Kunis - She may be another of the actresses too short for the part, but I'd love to see this 'That 70's Show' star try to fill the boots of one of the sexiest women of the 70's.

Olivia Wilde - She drives the woman not in the running for Wonder Woman wild (apparently she makes Megan Fox want to strangle a mountain ox), so why not hit the black dye and give playing a superhero a try after 'TRON: Legacy'?

Emily Blunt - She seems to be one of the hottest actresses of 2010 and was once set to play the Black Widow in 'Iron Man 2', so at least Emily Blunt has the starpower and the desire to possibly set the silver screen on fire as a sexy superhero (plus she has proved that she actually can act).

Zoe Saldana - If we can discuss having a black Spider Man, why not a black Wonder Woman? Zoe Saldana has quickly become one of movie geekdom's favorite actresses, and she definitely has plenty of action experience from 'Avatar' and 'Star Trek'. So why not change Wonder Woman's race along with her new costume?

Jennifer Love Hewitt - Jennifer Love Hewitt loves the idea of playing Wonder Woman, although I doubt she's one of the actresses at the top of many lists for the role. Still, I'd love to see her trade in her ghost whispering for an invisible jet to see if she can surprise us and revive her career.

Gemma Arterton - This Bond girl has had roles in big summer movies like 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time' and 'Clash of the Titans', so it's obvious somebody out there likes her as an action star; just put the girl in stars and stripes, and let's see what she's got.

Zooey Deschanel - Hmmm...I wonder what Wonder Woman would be like if she got caught up in the hipster movement on her new home planet? When it comes to actresses that I'd love to see take on the role out of curiosity's sake, Zooey is on up there (I'd also love to see her double Katy Perry give it a try, but only with original kitschy costume).

Kate Beckinsale - She's beautiful; has dark hair; has starred in action flicks; and looks great in skintight clothing. 'Nuff said.

Sandra Bullock - She's one of the many actresses here that's probably too old to play Wonder Woman, but I can't help but put her on this list, anyway (that lasso of truth sure would have come in handy when she first encountered her outlaw ex).

Michelle Ryan - Her series 'Bionic Woman' was short-lived, so give this Amazonian actress a job! (She's one of the few that has the height and curves to really capture Wonder Woman's look.)

Kristin Kreuk - She's got experience playing with superheroes in 'Smallville', but she's one of the actresses here who might be a bit too small to play Wonder Woman (still, if everyone else cast was soap opera/Ryan Seacrest tiny, she would be perfect!).

Odette Yustman - Since her doppelganger isn't on this list, I'll go with the poor man's version of Megan Fox instead (who is a much better actress). She has a little experience with action movies thanks to 'Cloverfield', and she's another of the actresses here who actually has Wonder Woman's wondrous height (something else she beats Megan Fox at).

Eliza Dushku - Why do we love this 'Buffy' and 'Dollhouse' star so much? Who knows (maybe it's just her name). Whatever it is, get this girl away from her failed show and put her in spandex, stat!

Famke Janssen - Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, this member of the X-men could be reborn as Wonder Woman. She might be one of the actresses here that you could call too old for the role, but she definitely doesn't look it.

Alessandra Torressani - This 'Caprica' star has a somewhat odd look, but she has expressed an interest in playing Wonder Woman before.

Bridget Regan - This super-sexy star of Syfy's 'Legend of the Seeker' might just be one of the best Wonder Woman candidates on this list (now, hurry; go find some pics!).

Charisma Carpenter - Another of the beautiful actresses here from 'Buffy', she makes the choice between herself and Bridget a real toughie.

Olga Kurylenko - This super stunner definitely needs to be cast as a superhero. She's yet another of the buxom Bond girls on this list, and she's got the right height and looks that make her hard to resist.

So from a few fun choices to some actresses that might actually have a chance at being cast as Wonder Woman, let's just hope her new costume gets to see some action sometime soon.
