With anticipation mounting for movies like Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad – Wonder Woman often gets forgotten about, most likely due to it still be a bit away. A new rumor circling its way around the Internet is sure to spark up some interest in the upcoming superhero flick.
Not one – but two villains are currently being floated around with some serious talent supposedly in the running for those roles. Those roles have Sean Bean currently being eyed to play Ares, the God of war – and Eva Green in the role of Circe, the Sorceress. As a cautiously optimistic fan of the upcoming film, if these rumors prove to be true, it boosts my excitement for the film immensely. When they announced Wonder Woman would be getting her own movie, I hoped the first villain would be Ares, but in this author’s mind, it might have gone to Bean’s LOTR costar Karl Urban. However, with that being said, Bean is an incredible actor and truly at his best when playing a villainous role.
I’ll admit I don’t know as much about the Sorceress as I do Ares but I’m still very excited. Eva Green is a great and often under-utilized talent in the business and played she can play evil in the sequel to 300. While the film may still be a while away, and these casting rumors may end up false, if they are true – it will certainly help add some excitement towards Wonder Woman.
Does this make you more excited for the upcoming film? Sound off below!
