Geena Davis Wants To Be In Wonder Woman 2
Don't we all wish we could play a part in a superhero film? Oscar-winning actress Geena Davis recently revealed that she has her sights on appearing in one very special DC Extended Universe pic in particular: Wonder Woman 2.
Speaking with Variety, Davis, who has appeared in iconic female-driven movies like A League of Their Own and Thelma & Louise, stated that she'd approached Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins and told her she's interested in and available for the upcoming sequel.
"Certainly Wonder Woman needed to be made, and I'm so beyond thrilled with how it came out," Davis told the outlet. "I met Patty Jenkins and I told her, 'I'm sure you're going to make a sequel and if you need anybody Amazonian, there's always me. I'm available.' I loved it, and I want to do more of those films. My dream goal would be to have a streaming show where I could be a bada–."
For Davis' part, it's not too wild a dream to want to appear in Wonder Woman 2. Actors are asked about potentially climbing aboard superhero projects almost constantly, regardless of whether they'll actually secure the parts or not. And with a slew of strong women showing up in leading Marvel and DC roles, such as Nicole Kidman in Aquaman, Michelle Pfeiffer and Evangeline Lilly in Ant-Man and The Wasp, Cate Blanchett in Thor: Ragnarok, and Milla Jovovich in the Hellboy reboot, Davis could fit right in.
Wonder Woman 2 is expected to take place in the States, with Jenkins previously telling Entertainment Weekly, "The story will take place in the U.S., which I think is right. She's Wonder Woman. She's got to come to America. It's time." In a separate interview, she stated, "I'm excited for her to come to America and become the Wonder Woman we are all familiar with from having grown up around her as an American superhero," Jenkins said. "I'd like to bring her a little farther along into the future and have a fun, exciting storyline that is its own thing. Wonder Woman 1 is so much about her becoming the person she is. I can't wait to spring forward with who she is and have another great standalone superhero film."
The sequel has also been rumored to be set in the '80s and could even see the return of Chris Pine's Steve Trevor. Still, with Jenkins nearing a historic deal to direct Wonder Woman 2, there remains a ton of details to work out—Davis landing a role could be one of them.
Wonder Woman 2 is scheduled for release on December 13, 2019. Until then, check out the characters from Wonder Woman with more meaning that you realize.
