The CW has put out a casting call for the lucky actor who will act Diana , aka Wonder Woman , in its brand new origins show . And the other day , a description of the case came out : she ’s “ a tearing warrior with the innocent heart of a wild-eyed . ” But what does that mean , on the button ?

We got appreciation of the hand pages that are being used for Diana ’s auditions , and found out a bit more about how Wonder Woman will be portrayed this time around .

First off , a couple caveats : 1 ) The script for the buffer is n’t even write , according to the report the other day . So these casting pages ca n’t be from the script , because it does n’t subsist yet . 2 ) Even if there was a script , it would belike be massively rewritten before and during filming . And in general , you ca n’t forge much of a judgment about something by look at an other piece of material . Except to get some vague hints about the direction the creative the great unwashed — in this case author Allan Heinberg — are going in . And the sort of Wonder Woman they ’re hoping to make .
Still , there are potential pamperer for the pilot below . Be warned !
So … the script pages consist of two scenes between Diana ( who ’s called “ Iris , ” to mask her true identity ) and Steve Trevor ( who ’s called “ Pete , ” for plausibly the same reason . )

In the first , Steve Trevor has clank - landed on Diana ’s island and she ’s angrily interrogating him , with his hand and groundwork cuff to a chair . She think he ’s a terrorist attacker , or the avant-garde of an invasion , or perhaps a undercover agent . But “ Pete ” keeps guide out that he ’s alone , “ one hombre with a break plane and a pistol , ” and not really what the U.S. governing would send if they were invade . Steve Trevor is super charming , and snarky in a “ CW guy ” kind of way — sort of Damon from Vampire Diaries crossed with Tommy from Arrow . Suave .
In the 2d setting , Steve Trevor and Diana are in America , and she ’s in a dining car having eaten a ginormous meal . Steve is astonish that she still wants more food — and she explains that where she comes from , they do n’t have any of this luxury or sissiness or Gallic nestling . Life on Diana ’s island was hard and dour . And here , she explains that her multitude were slaves until they rose up , and they ’re always mindful that they must fight for their exemption . And then Diana try ice ointment for the first time . She “ takes her first morsel … and swoons . She WHIMPERS with pleasure . ” With her second spoonful , Diana ’s whimper becomes a moan . It gets into When Harry Met Sally soil , fundamentally , as she experience ice pick for the first fourth dimension . The people in the dining compartment are kind of freaked out .
So , all in all … it looks pretty adequate , and feels very much like a CW show , with the sparky flirty chemistry between Steve and Diana . The ice cream - eating reminds me ofDavid E. Kelley ’s ice pick - haunt Wonder Woman , in kind of an uncomfortable mode . I sense like there ’s some Hollywood script - author matter that sees “ eat up dessert ” as a tachygraphy for all sorts of stuff about distaff sensualism , and that ’s certainly the fount here . ( cogitate Troi / Crusher and their endless dessert dissertations on Star Trek : TNG . )

All in all , even base on a twosome of casting sides , I can say this is way beneficial than the Kelley pilot — Wonder Woman has a core to her that she never had in Kelley ’s variant , including the awareness that her people were striver . And apparently we ’re observe the “ Steve Trevor ram on Themyscira ” origin story — unless they just concocted that for the casting sides and adjudicate to pitch it out . But I ’d bet it ’s in . And I ’m kind of glad they ’re drag Diana back to her roots , at least fairly .
