Eliza Dushku Adds Her Name to Wonder Woman List  10/3/05

Sexy Eliza Dushku has come from nowhere to lead the race for the new Wonder Woman movie.

After months of speculation, the actress has declared she wants the super heroine role - and experts feel sure she's a leading contender because she's a favorite actress of writer/director Joss Whedon.

Dushku, who worked with Whedon on cult TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer and spin-off Angel, says she'd like to be considered for the role.

Speaking to film website Movie Hole at Saturday's (01OCT05) Wizard World Convention in Boston, Massachusetts, Dushku said, "Joss is doing a little movie called Wonder Woman. I'd slap on the Dukes for that!"

Others reportedly in contention for the Wonder Woman lead include Dushku's former Buffy co-star Charisma Carpenter, Kim Basinger and The OC's Mischa Barton.
