That's not even close to being true. Many of my guy friends have gotten into weight training to change their 'skeleton with some skin' status. It takes a crazy protein diet and a lot of training but it works, and it works fast. The reason you don't see a lot of women going for this is because muscled is not the 'preferred' look for women; anyone who has that look must be dedicated to it from the start as opposed to guys who can opt for drastic changes.

This actress, presumably, will have the help of professional trainers. As I said, if the studio wants it, it will happen. The question is, do they want it? It's not constructive at all to bleat about what she looks like now; we should be making demanding noises about what we want to see in 2015.

Okay, you seem to be absolutely unfamiliar with different body types. No, not everyone can bulk up easily. Your friends appear to be lucky. Assuming that everyone can be as lucky as your friends is fucking harmful. Secondly, haven't you seen that "fit is the new skinny" shit? Muscle is trendy for women now.

You also seem to be utterly unfamiliar with film production schedules. You realize the movie's going to finish shooting well before it's released in 2015, right? Do you honestly think she can bulk up enough to play the role by then? Again, these Chris Helmsworth pictures reveal two different bodies THAT HAVE MUSCLE. This woman has no mass at all.

She might end up the same body type with some slightly larger arms. That's not Wonder Woman.

If it turns out that she simply can't bulk up -- and if bulked up is still the look they want -- then she will be recast. At this point, we can't just say, "No, it absolutely can't happen," because it does happen for some people (but not for others). She hasn't even tried yet, and we're already calling it a foregone conclusion. Having a naturally skinny body means it would be difficult for you to maintain a ripped look on a regular basis, not that it's impossible to get it that way for a few months.

For a big-budget film released in summer of 2015, we can expect production to go into 2014, possibly well into it with re-shooting and additional scenes and crap. And they will have to devote a lot of that time to filming, oh I don't know, THE BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN STUFF that the movie is actually about. WW's role is small, and whatever you want to say about that, here it can work to the actress's advantage. She's not starring in the movie, so she doesn't have to be there on day one. She could have as long as half a year.

If it turns out that she simply can't bulk up -- and if bulked up is still the look they want -- then she will be recast.

do you have any evidence for this

What, you mean empirical evidence? Obviously not, because this is a hypothetical situation. I have faith in the belief that, should a person turn out to be unqualified for a job they were hired for, they would be replaced. Since that's how businesses work, and movie-making is one of those.

IMPORTANT QUESTION: Have you seen

What I don't get here is your faith that the studios will recast someone who is conventionally attractive and has whatever qualities led them to cast her simply because they don't have the physical strength for the role.

I have absolutely no faith in that. As long as she's hot and an actress, I really don't think they give two shits whether she can pull off a convincing Wonder Woman.

It's probably because I'm nowhere near that point yet. See, I'm still at 'cautiously optimistic that this could turn out decent'. Speaking of the role long-term, yeah, she needs to do some serious work if we're going to be looking at a WW feature. For Batmas vs. Superman? A cameo at best? They just need to work on having her look right, and then we'll talk the future.

This is actually a negative example, but Sony is recasting Mary Jane for the new Spider-Man franchise. The former actress's scenes will not even be shown in Spider-Man 2. See: iconic character with small role in film, actress not deemed right for the job after being cast (for whatever reasons), hence recast. Sounds familiar? And this is for a movie coming out NEXT YEAR, not 2 years from now.
