Sean Bean and Eva Green Reportedly Up For WONDER WOMAN Villains
Marvel has done a solid job of grabbing a lot of the most eligible movie stars on the planet, but DC is no slouch when it comes to pulling in big name talent of their own. Batman v Superman alone has Ben Affleck, Jeremy Irons, Jesse Eisenberg, Laurence Fishburne, Amy Adams, and more. And that's not even taking into account the people they've secured for Suicide Squad. And if this latest rumor from Heroic Hollywood is legit, Gal Gadot could face off against two more big names in her solo Wonder Woman film.
The new report says the studio is eyeing Sean Bean and Eva Green for the roles of Ares and Circe, respectively. In Greek mythology, Ares is the God of War, and Circe is a powerful sorceress, so in a sense, these are super boring choices because they're almost too perfect for those roles. Heroic Hollywood says these characters are considered Wonder Woman's biggest adversaries, but they also mention that they aren't sure if any offers have been made or meetings have taken place, so it's still pretty early on in the casting process.
Patty Jenkins will direct Wonder Woman from a script by Jason Fuchs (Pan), and the film arrives in theaters on June 23rd, 2017.
