Adrianne Palicki cast as TV Wonder Woman

"Friday Night Lights" actress Adrianne Palicki has been cast in NBC's "Wonder Woman" pilot from producer David E. Kelley, TV Line reports.

...according to IMDb as well as the way she towered over me at TCA, Palicki is 5-foot-11, making her sufficiently “Amazonian” in presence.
Oh, and there’s this: Not one hour after the Palicki news got out, that 1970s Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter, tweeted her approval: “Congratulations, Adrianne!”

  1. Two cents: the good news is that Palecki is a good, solid actress as evidenced by her performanc­es on Friday Night Live. The bad news? Palecki doesn't look anything like an Amazon. She is a 5' 11" blonde with little to no muscles. This implies the show's direction is similar to that of Smallville­. Typical Hollywood logic, where only the most recent formula is taken as dogma. Would be a bit more excited had they casted someone like Cobie Smulders. At least she looks like she could kick your ass with a smile on her face.

  2. I thought Palicki was great on Friday Night Lights, and she’s a beautiful woman, but she seems like an odd choice for this character. From what I’ve seen on FNL, she’s not terribly athletic, and her general physique says catwalk model rather than amazon.

  3. I'm more concerned about the tone of the show than I am about the casting. I hope it's done well and has something to do with the comic book character. Something that's cool and empowering to girls ala Buffy would be awesome and much-needed on TV right now.
