Wonder Woman (Patty Jenkins, June 2, 2017) Movie • Page 32

Weird choice.

 

I like Wiig even beyond her comedies, but that seems like a terrible choice.

 

I do not see her playing a convincing villain at all. Maybe she does have some skills besides being a comedian, though? I’ll wait until I see footage.

 

Y’all need to watch more movies an actors in if you’re gonna take shots at her. Start with ‘Deadly Adoption.’

She’s great. And I think Jenkins knows what’s she’s doing.

 

Before WW, Gal was just the girl from Fast and Furious that couldn't act very well. I'm willing to give anyone a chance. Esp since the main thing DC has gotten right is all their casting.

 

Cheetah has been a frenemy as much as a villain throughout the years. My guess is that would be the case here. With a second overarching villain.

 

Lol people think Kristen Wiig can't act.

 

Literally not a single person has said that.

 

Wiig can do this. I’m assuming not a lot of you guys saw mother!(?)

 

Cheetah is a great choice for a villain.


Re watched this last night with my wife who hadn’t seen it. She loved it. Honestly the beginning with the Amazon’s, and the animation of Zeus with the God’s is my favorite part.

 

I just haven’t seen her act in a serious role instead of a comedy. It’s not the same as saying she can’t act.

 

True you're right. I definitely think it's something she could pull off, especially with the direction or Patty Jenkins. Like someone else said I was definitely skeptical of Gal Gadot being cast initially.

 

Yeah. I am sure Patty Jenkins met her a few times before casting her. I can’t say I’m not intrigued to see how her chemistry is with Gadot

 

I trust a comedic actor doing drama more than a dramatic actor doing comedy tbh.

 

They are definitely going to play off Barbara as a bumbling nerd. I think it would work for the pre-Cheetah turn. I just hope it isn't in the vein of Ghostbusters.

 

Ghostbusters was good.

Willing to die on this hill.

 

Ghostbusters, if we can rehash this, certainly wasn't bad at all. Arguably a bit disappointing in comparison to a couple of Feig's other comedies, but it was fine (at worst) overall. I was happy I saw it

 

Ghostbusters certainly didn't deserve a lot of the hate it got, esp all that BS about it mattering at all that it was a female cast, but it still wasn't a very good movie on it's own right.

 

Would cheetah be the sole villain?

 

Wiig confirmed

 

For anyone interested in Patty’s statement:

 

Into it

 

I've seen quite a few people around the internet saying Wiig is not a good choice for this role given her comedy background, which is absurd. Even if Wiig hasn't already demonstrated several times that there's more to her as an actress than just Gilly, I would think after Wonder Woman people would at least put a little more faith in Patty Jenkins. Pulling a legitimately great origin film out of the trainwreck of the DC cinematic universe is no small feat, I think she's earned a bit of trust from the audience when it comes to her casting decisions.

 

Idk why anyone would dislike this casting choice. I can TOTALLY see Wiig nailing this. Seems kinda perfect to me.

 

I think it's mostly coming from the contingent of DC fans who want these movies to be hyper-serious, dour slogs in the vein of Man of Steel or Batman v Superman. They see the casting of a comedic actress as a nod toward injecting more of a less serious tone into these movies. Ignoring the fact that moments of levity, when executed tastefully as they were in Wonder Woman, can only enhance a movie like this. Wonder Woman 1 handled its humor very well, I expect this one to be done similarly well.
