Come on guys, getting a bit off topic here.

While several actresses have done well voicing WW in animated flicks, I can't really picture an actress who looks the part (in particularly, someone who is fairly tall) and can portray WW effectively.

I was having this exact conversation with a bunch of friends the other day, and we were all making suggestions and having a laugh. Names like Cobie Smulders, Angelina Jolie, Megan Gale and other typical choices that've been thrown around the Internet. Then came my suggestion which silenced everyone.

As an avid fan of hers, I threw Beyoncé's name into the mix as more of a joke than anything, and when asked why I explained that she has the body for the costume. But thinking about it more, she isn't a bad actress either, I watched Dreamgirls the other week and she was actually very impressive.

She has that tall and powerful appearance that Wonder Woman requires, and in a behind the scenes video I was watching the other day, Bey was picking out a costume for her performance, and immediately gravitated to one which she described as looking like Wonder Woman's armour, then she added that she loved Wonder Woman.

I know it's a controversial opinion, but I think it's definitely food for thought. She's the only suggestion I've heard in recent months that I've ever really properly considered.
