"On my lists of things to do in my life—I mean, I campaign for it—is, I just want to play a superhero at some point," No Strings Attached actress Lake Bell told me at the Sundance Film Festival, where she premiered her writing and directorial debut, a short called Worst Enemy. "I got the guns! With superheroes you have to have this tickle of humor in there and you have to be a really great actor and also kick ass.
"And I'm fine with kicking a guy's ass," she said. "I'll be honest, I think I'd make a great Wonder Woman. So if anyone out there is listening..."
In the meantime, Bell says she's hoping her short film leads to a gig directing a feature. "I like homework," she said. "I felt like my homework was to experience what it's like to direct. I always felt I could do it, but you don't really know until you're in the mix and in the trenches. So I did it as an exercise and a challenge."
How about directing and starring in a Wonder Woman movie? Just an idea.
Now, I want to hear from you: Is Lake Bell the right choice for Wonder Woman? If not, who is? Sound off below.
