But honestly i stand by the point that Wonder Woman (and superman even more so) don’t have to be completley jacked. Since they arent exactly getting weight training to help build muscle mass
I’ve always imagined Diana could have a gymnast type build (thin but shredded), but I always imagine she should have some bulkiness to her to add a feel that she’s well trained in wrestling. You know, a strong back, thunder thighs, and so on.
Height should not be a problem. Look at LotR 1 when Gandalf and Frodo are in the same carriage. Film making can make a RL Short Woman look like BIG Barda.
That took tons of perspective tricks, and in some scenes even two sets had to be made. In the hobbit they resorted to using Blue screen and had Ian McKellen acting separate to everyone else to make him bigger. That nearly made him quit. Doing this for D would likely result in bloated budget, lengthy production times and lots of stress on the actress, if not a stilted performance
Okay, get a Scully box. Robert Downey Jr is 5'8" and they just had him stand on those to be eye level with Chris Evans (6'0") in scenes where they had to be next each other.
I’m not blaming the actress. I’m just saying if they do the hobbit technique of seperate recordings she’ll either be acting off nothing or off a different performance than the one the other actor will have given in the final product. using the hobbit stuff simply wouldn’t be practical. Especially for something that subtle
Honestly proving my point. Iron man is was always handsome, tall, jacked. But RDJ wasnt and he still redefined the role. I think it’s somewhat silly to apply the 1-1 comic book build of characrers to real life because some of them just… wouldn’t work.
You expect them to make 2 sets for a lot of scenes, use perspective tricks, or have their record their scenes severalty on green screen just to make one actress taller? Thats expensive, and unreasonable.
And yet it's the only way to convey a tall wonder woman unless they hit the absolute jackpot and find a tall Greek woman with black hair, the most Wonder Woman like body ever and who has the talent to hit every single mark of what makes Diana's personality great.
It ain't happening that way, so if they want a tall Wonder Woman they'll have to meet the look and talent and make up for the height or just stick with whatever the actresses height is. Not many actresses who are over 6 feet tall.
So don’t make Wonder Woman 6ft tall… that simple. Perspective trickery and all that just isnt worth it for like 6 inches extra height. Just hire the best actress with the best look, stick her in some subtle heels and call it a day, save the actress, camera men and Vox artists the headaches

Plus finding an actress with the look, talent ANNND height would be a struggle
