According to Deadline, casting is already well underway for Legendary Pictures and Atlas Entertainment's World of Warcraft (which now looks set to be distributed by Universal after the former's recent split with Warner Bros.). Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol star Paula Patton is apparently in talks for a lead role, as is Daredevil and Total Recall's Colin Farrell. He's apparently not a dead cert at this point, with sources telling the site that it's currently 50/50. Director Duncan Jones (Source Code) is also testing with other actors for other major roles in the video game adaptation. How do you guys feel about these two potentially joining the cast?

Paula Patton is an amazing woman.

Her body is insane and she kicked ass like no other in Mission Impossible. Plus, she's incredibly gorgeous, like a real life Amazon.

So I say HELL YES.

I'm sorry but the only time Farrell is any good is in indie fair or when he teams up with Martin McDonagh, He was great in In Bruges and was pretty good in Seven Psychopaths but Sam Rockwell stole the freaking show (as usual). On the subject of Sam Rockwell can we get another team up with him and Jones, because Moon is a great film doesn't have to be WoW.

Am I the only one who thinks she looks like a dude in drag?

@Hellsing

He was good in Minority Report, which was neither Indie nor involving Martin McDonagh.

I love Paula Patton, but for World of Warcraft? She just dosen't strike me as that type. She is more evolved then that, and i honestly don't think anyone looked like her back then.

Yes, she's actually a really great actress. It's just her latest roles can't really show that off, but she was very good in Precious.

She is super sexy...anyone things the opposite or thinks she looks like a dude must come out of the closet already.

Too bad she's married to that Robin Thicke dick.

I've never played WoW in my life. Personally, I'm hoping for an Elder Scrolls movie. But I'd watch this just because Paula. She is such a babe.

I don't see her as Wonder Woman though. I'd rather Lynn Collins be WW. But I could definitely see her as Hawkgirl.

@Cherry Bomb I would Agree She would Make a Good Wonder Woman If We Can Have a Good'Ol Englishmen as THE Superman of ALL Supermen I think an African American should be Wonder Woman change the Dynamic a Bit

Isn't she mixed race? I have always seen WW as more mixed race than plain white, she is an Amazon from Paradise Island whose mother was Queen of the Amazon's and father the Greek King of God's Zeus.

Exactly! And her skin isn't really too dark, I think she has a beautiful glow to her that could pass for an Amazon woman.
