This is why we’re sometimes reticent to pass along casting call news. Everyone beleived Variety when they said that Jessica Biel’s talks to play Wonder Woman in the upcoming Justice League movie were solid and the real thing and so on. We even found you a photo of Biel in a WW t-shirt to seal the deal.
But noooo. According to Entertainment Weekly‘s Hollywood Insider — and who better to know from things inside Hollywood? I mean, it’s right there in the name — Biel has given the role a pass.
So you know, we state all Obiwan-like, when we reported that she was in talks, it was the truth, from a certain point of view. It’s like the old joke about prayers being heard: sometimes the answer is no.
But you know, it gives us an excuse to post another photo of Ms. Biel. This was one of the tamer ones from our Google Image search. We liked the outfit, reasoning that, if she isn’t interested in Wonder Woman, maybe someone can talk her into Isis?
