Wonder Woman Key Characters Revealed

David E. Kelly’s Wonder Woman TV series continues to gear up for its unveiling as part of NBC’s next pilot season. The last report pegged Friday Night Lights producer Jeffrey Reiner to direct the inaugural episode and now a casting sheet has surfaced revealing a few new facts about Kelley’s plans for the series.

Most notably, the Wonder Woman role is pegged for a character in her “late 20s to 30s,” DC Women Kicking Ass reports. No ethnicity is specified, though the sheet specifically mentions blue eyes. The character is described as “a real woman who yearns to live a normal life.”

There’s also no ethnicity needs specified for the characters of Etta (presumably series mainstay Etta Candy), Myndi Mayer (who coined the name “Wonder Woman” in the comics) and Steve Trevor. All crucial characters, though there’s no indication at this point of whether the story will have Trevor serve as Wonder Woman’s love interest, as was the case in earlier comics in the series, or if he’ll be romantically linked instead with Etta, as is the case in more recent stories.

It could be the latter, as the casting sheet suggests that Boston cop Ed Indelicato could be romantically connected in some way to the superheroine. Filming is set to start on March 15. Check out the full casting sheet breakdown of characters below.
