Adrianne Palicki As Wonder Woman: Lynda Carter Approves!
The first official picture of the 21st century Wonder Woman has been released by Warner Bros. and published on Entertainment Weekly. Former “Friday Night Lights”actress Adrianne Palicki, who plays Diana Prince, a modern executive by day, has debuted the brand new look of the iconic superhero for David E. Kelley’s new NBC series.
Adrianne’s Wonder Woman can never compare to the original Wonder Woman by Lynda Carter back in the 1970’s. I personally hate when they try to “recreate” and give iconic characters played by iconic actors a “makeover”. It doesn’t make sense to me. The tight blue leather pants are hideous.
What does the original Wonder Woman think about this?
Lynda Carter approves. “I think she looks fabulous,” said Carter. “It’s a new look and, jeez, her body looks fantastic.”
“You know, I’m very sensitive to the fact that she will be compared,” Carter said. “There’s no getting around it. It is what it is. I would hope that people would cut her some slack.
“I’m sure there will be people who say she looks better than me and like her better than me—and that’s also fine,” she continued. “I want this story to be told again. I’m really excited. I can’t wait to see it.”
The Wonder Woman remake will also star British model/actress Elizabeth Hurley, playing a hot executive running a company that is creating a drug to make people stronger, and Cary Elwes, who is the CEO of Diana Prince’s Themyscira Industries.

Does not do justice to the original. Sorry this needs to go back to the drawing board. The actress hired for this role does not hold a candle to Lynda Carter. Instead of a weekly series maybe they should scrap this and turn it into a feature film with Megan Fox, and David Kelly should not do this. Stick to your attorney dramas David. How about a hot Director like Christopher Nolan? Wonder Woman is an iconic character right up there with Batman, Spiderman and Superman. The only thing I wonder about this Wonder Woman is, I wonder how soon it will be cancelled?
I’ll just have to watch to see how they compare obviously but they both are beautiful
Like J.J. Abrahms screwed up the original Star Trek history & Lost, I agree with Rck and make it a feature film
