Singer and actress Beyonce Knowles saw Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman costume at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in recent weeks and fell in love with it, feeling inspired to portray the iconic superhero on the big screen.

A recent interview with the Los Angeles Times gave Beyonce Knowles the occasion to express her current artistic goals, that is, to portray Wonder Woman in a superhero movie.

The 27-year-old singer-songwriter turned actress did not just stop at daydreaming about the possibility of donning Wonder Woman’s skintight red, white and blue costume and her golden Lasso of Truth. She met with representatives for DC Comics and film studio Warner Bros to tell them of her interest in playing the part.

“I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman?” she told the Los Angeles Times, adding that a black Wonder Woman would be a “bold choice” and a “powerful thing.”

Wonder Woman was portrayed by Lynda Carter in the 1970s on a television series but she has never appeared in a feature film.

Beyonce said a superhero film would be good counter balance to her recent emotional roles. She portrayed the Diana Ross-inspired character Deena Jones in 2006’s critically acclaimed musical “Dreamgirls” and Etta James in the upcoming biographical film “Cadillac Records,” due for release Dec. 5.

She has also had roles in “Austin Powers in Goldmember,” as the flamboyant Foxy Cleopatra and in “The Pink Panther.”

Beyonce also stars in the upcoming thriller “Obsessed,” alongside Idris Elba, Ali Larter and Christine Lahti. She told the Times that one particular scene she had to film with co-star Larter had her fighting and that she enjoyed the physicality of the part. She said she would enjoy the “action element” inherent to an action film.
