Jessica Biel Says No To ‘Justice League’

Jessica BielWhat do Hercules and Alexander the Great have in common with Jessica Biel? They’re all strong-willed individuals who throughout history have found it in themselves to turn down an Amazonian Princess.

Three days after reporting that Biel was in talks to star as Wonder in George Miller’s upcoming “Justice League” movie, Entertainment Weekly reports today that the 25-year-old “Illusionist” star has passed on the project. She would have been the first thesp to officially sign onto the ensemble film; in addition to Wonder Woman, “JLA” is still lacking actors for the roles of Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Martian Manhunter, and Aquaman (and his fish).

Which means, actually, a whole lot of fun for those of us interested in making our own casting suggestions. My colleague Larry Carroll weighed in yesterday with his picks for “JLA,” and I’ll be back later with my own, but in the meantime why don’t we concentrate on Wonder Woman? Now that Biel has passed (and, keep in mind, oh ye of little memory, that Kate Beckinsale has as well), who would you want donning the star-spangled spandex? Sound off below…

  1. Someone who has been running around G4Tv as her: Olivia Munn. Check out Attack of the Show...do it...
  2. china from wwe
  3. I think a great Wonder Woman would be the woman from the movie Van Helsing ( I can't remember her name though.) But, she would be perfect. Also, gotta go with Tom Welling (Clark from Smallville) as Superman. Christian Bale from the new Batman movies keeps the role of Bruce Wayne the Dark Knight. As Green Lantern, Aquaman, Flash and Martian Manhunter you can get almost anyone to play them. But, when you've got 2 great actors already portrayong the 2 vital heroes your set. Now, all you've got to do is convince the actress and come up with a incredible story line and you'll make billions.
  4. Alana De La Garza or Roselyn Sanchez would be cool. Although, I must admit, I think I'd LOVE me some Kristin Kreuk in some Wonder Woman bikini outfit, maybe just a little too tight.. (hmm...) ?
  5. I think that it would have to be someone with a very domineering and sexy presence. We don't want it to be just any ol' famous person. You want to make sure that this role is not poorly casted and will really be the epiphany of wonder woman instead of just a face that we see constantly. I would suggest an actress that we all have not seen before with alot of talent. It's just been an ongoing issue with me, and I'm honestly tired of seeing characters that I grew to know and love, whether it's comic book heroes or video game characters, get poorly casted in the movie remakes.
  6. i think jessica should play that roll ^_^
  7. I CAN SECOND SOPHIA BUSH...
    SHE'S AMAZING AND ACTUALLY WOULD MAKE THE PERFECT WONDER WOMAN... WHOEVER THOUGHT OF HER FIRST IS GENIUS.
    I WAS GOING TO SAY JESSICA ALBA... BUT ONCE I SAW SOMEONE RECCOMEND SOPHIA BUSH, I HAVE TO AGREE....
    ALTHOUGH, I ALWAYS THOUGHT, I'D BE A GREAT WONDER WOMAN!! HAHA!
  8. i heard the katie holmes was gonna be wonder woman!!
  9. megan fox!!! the girl from transformers, would be great as wonder woman
  10. Megan Fox or Angelina Jolie would be great for the Wonder Woman Role
  11. WHAT ABOUT CATHERINE ZETA JONES??? SHE HAS THE BLACK HAIR AND BEAUTIFUL SKIN LIKE WONDER WOMEN??
  12. Charisma Carpenter, she expressed intrest in the role before there was even a ww movie planned
  13. Scarlett Johanson.
  14. How about Laura Prepon??? from that 70's show
  15. Sarah Chalke?
  16. i've been reading over some of these comments and have to say i agree with some and the others are smoking some good sh*t !! i have to agree with the vote for Nadia Bjorlin. she looked hot in redline and she has features of a young linda carter. she is the front runner on my list. also i saw one for charisma carpenter from angel. thats a good choice too. she's beautiful, young, and has the body to fill up that sexy outfit. the ones i disagree with and the reasons are as follows:

    jessica simpson- hell no!! you need to have ass and tits to play an amazon goddess

    jessica alba- no. beautiful girl but doesn't have the body to fill out a wonder woman outfit

    jlo- are yo serious!!! hell no!! mediocre actress with almost no screen charisma

    hilary duff- not enought body and a little too young

    demi moore- still looking good for other hot woman roles but a little past her prime for this one.

    these are just my opinion. thanks for reading
  17. I say the best best for wonderwoman would be lucy lawless.. I mean she has already gotten the years of experience playing a warrior princess. I also believe that you would find that she does have a following of her own as well.
  18. I think that that Lucy Lawless would be a great choice for wonderwoman.. shes a good actor has the experience from when she did the warrior princess thing.. she has a following of her own but at the same time shes not a big name like Angelina Jolie or or Catherin zeta jones so she may not feel as concerned as being upstaged or what have you.
  19. agree...lucy lawless
  20. Lucy Lawless is to old plus i feel she was one playing an amazon princess, oh yeah she was xena. i personally think that it should be charisma carpenter.
  21. thats messed up!! she would have been a hot wonder woman like she was here!

  22. jessica simson
  23. Megan Fox i think would be a great choice, i even thought of Kristin Kreuk from Smallville
  24. Before the movie was ever a real concept I thought Lindsay Lohan, but in light of recent events maybe Minnie Driver or even Kate Winslet.
  25. i think sandra bullock or catherine zeta jones or find an unknown and make it famous. this movies are usually a super hit why this actress jessica biel pass.
  26. There are only 2 options: Lucy Lawless or Catherine Zeta Jones!!
  27. Olivia Munn, not even a question!
  28. How about "Angelina Jolie"
    as Wonder Woman.
  29. how about someone under Thirty fu*king five
  30. I love both Jessica Biel and Aba but they just don't fit the part. Both Angelina Jolie and Catherine Zeta Jones are beautiful and would do a great job, however, I think they are getting a little too old for the part and probably would turn it down anyway because they wouldn't get paid the bucks.
    If you guys want someone that has the body (she would need to buff up some though), is new, looks like both Catherine Zeta Jones and Linda Carter, I mean down to the eyes and hair, the features, you need look no further than Katharine McPhee. I've actually seen someone put her in a Wonderwoman outfit and put the picture next to Linda Carter's and she looked just like she did in the day. Some of us who grew up on the series would appreciate someone that brought back the memory of the series. Plus, she is well enough known that she would help draw the American Idol fans that would go just to see her if for no other reason. She must have some acting skill since she is presently working on a Adam Sandler produced movie and has signed to another movie as well. Now it would be, does she have the time.
    Oh and you don't want someone who has played parts like this one before because it will be hard for people to see them as Wonder Woman. If they are smart they should at least let her read for the part.
  31. I also think Katherine Mcphee would play a great Wonder Woman. She matches the closest to the real Wonder Woman. I think if she played the part alot of people would want to see the movie.
  32. BEYONCE should be wonder woman (just kidding) -- I mean she does have the body for it but is lacking in the acting department.

    I say Jessica Biel would've been perfect but now, I don't know.

    I think JENNA DEWANN would be great! SHe's a little short but thats nothing CGI can't handle.
  33. No I changed my mind I think Lucy Liu from Charlie's Angels would make an awesome Wonder Woman. She's got the black hair, the looks and look at all the stunts she did in Charlie's Angels. I think she would make an awesome Wonder Woman. What do you think?
  34. Just by looks alone, Angelina Jolie IS freaking Wonder Woman! She is stauesque and looks like a goddess. Wonder Woman is just that, A WOMAN, not a barely 18 year old. She should be intimidating as Superman, she's practically on his power levels almost. Sometimes I think these people that cast movies have never picked up a comic book in their life. Kat Mcphee I dont think could act her way out of a paper bag. What about Anne Hathaway?
  35. How about we look at people who can act and expressed interest in the role before; such as Morena Baccarin? Just a suggestion.
  36. I think Megan Fox would be a prefect fit for the role of Wonderman...she kind of naturally resembles her!
  37. SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR OR BEYONCE!!!!!!!!!!!
  38. Megan Fox
  39. Rachel Bilson
  40. JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT. Love is power, Love is justice, Love is Wonder Woman.
  41. Nadia Bjorlin is the best choice. She is 28 years old. The perfect age. Why she is not asked for the part is shocking.
  42. MEGAN FOX ALL THE WAY~!
  43. Okay, for all of you who think Jessica Biel is ugly or street trash or inept as an actress--
    douse yourself in gasoline and light a match.
    She may not be beautiful to your standards but to deny that she has beauty is ridiculous. Envy is quite the ugly armor people. And as for the random post that she was only nominated because of JT, what are you on? He has absolutely nothing to do with anything. He isn't even an actor for god sakes'. Go slap yourself with some education and formal speaking skills before you ramble relentlessly to the public. Retard.

    Now, I am glad she passed up on the role though, because I do think that Nadia Bjorlin is the best candidate closely followed by Catherine Zeta Jones who has that mature sophisticated look suitable for the Wonder Woman caliber.

    Aside from that stop wasting space nominating Britney Spears like that poor girl has an ounce of talent left in her body.
    And Megan Fox would be a good BatGirl, in any case because she is just that...a girl. Wonder Woman should be portrayed by someone with more substance and maturity etched in their looks.
