Lynda Carter in 2017 Wonder Woman movie?

Sadly no.

Although they did offer her the role of Hippolyta, they just couldn't work out schedules. This according to Lynda herself:

A couple of choice quotes:

MP: I read some stories/rumors about the new Wonder Woman movie. Is it true that you have been snubbed?

LC: That is not true. I had some nice conversations with Patty Jenkins (director) and we couldn’t get my schedule and their schedule to meet up. It didn’t work out, but I wish them well. Understandably they want a platform that is uniquely their own. I believe it’s a homage to the original in regards to the heart of the character. That is what matters.

MP: You created something iconic and look how long it has taken them to do a new movie on Wonder Woman!

LC: Exactly, as long as the heart is there, that’s all I care about! That is really what is important. It isn’t about special powers. It’s about the essence of what it is to be a strong, independent, and powerful self, with kindness, heart, goodness and all that. That’s what’s Wonder Woman is all about!

MP: Fans are upset and want to see you on the big screen. You could play an evil character. . .

LC: Maybe next time around something like that could happen, or maybe not – I just don’t know. People should just relax and let it be what it is. Give the new Wonder Woman a chance. It’s not going to hurt my feelings. My stuff stands on its own.

More graciousness from Lynda:



Wouldn't it be nice if everyone was as gracious as Lynda when it came to giving other actresses a chance at the role of Wonder Woman?

Yup. Lynda Carter is a legend in my eyes.

Pity it didn't work out with her schedule, but like she says, maybe next time

Peace.

P.S. That photo (in relation to another topic) is what Wonder Woman looks, and will always look, like in my mind Best of luck to Gal.

Lynda Carter is such a class act.
She has supported every actress or project connected with Wonder Woman.

She also hopes that they keep the Heart in the character.
