The rumors had seemed so promising, but as usual, they were just not meant to be, as the lovely
Jessica Biel has passed on an offer to play Wonder Woman in the up-coming life adaptation of Justice League of America.
It has been reported earlier in the week that the
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry star was going to step into some superhero tights and play the marvelous DC Comics character Wonder Woman . However, in a report from
Entertainment Weekly, the site has said that, "
actress Jessica Biel has decided to pass on playing Wonder Woman in Warner Bros. live-action adaptation of Justice League of America. The former 7th Heaven star had been in early talks to play the Amazonian princess. She's currently shooting the drama Powder Blue with Forest Whitaker."
That means that Warner Bros. the studio bringing the
Justice League of America movie to the big screen, and director George Miller, who will helm the upcoming project, are back to square one.
Jessica Biel was the first rumored casting for the long-awaited project, and it seems that the announcement jumped the gun. However, more names are being rumored for roles on the upcoming live-action film, as
IESB.net reports that rapper T.I., whose real name is Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. has recently read for the part of the Green Lantern. But until he gets cast in the part, fans will have to settle for seeing T.I. play the nephew of
Denzel Washington's drug kingpin character in
American Gangster.
The rest of Justice League of America remains wide open, in terms of who might be brought in to play the roles of Superman, Batman, Flash or any of the other characters associated with the DC Comics property. In fact, in remains to be seen which characters will be considered for the script. Don't hold your breath for the final product either, as it isn't expected to come out until at least late 2009, or more likely, 2010.

I can actually say that for the first time Jessica Biel looks great. Her way hair suits her face. The lovely black number gives her a more feminine look and her clutch and pumps are just in harmony. And to top it all, she's pleasing to the nose! Just ask JT!
