God, Human, Mean

True, Dark, After

Morgan Freeman

Life, Happy, End

Nathan Fillion

Past, Real, Person

Bond? It is a bit like saying, 'Do you want to play Superman?' Anyone would dream of it. It's one of the most coveted roles in film. I'd be honoured. But I don't know if it will actually happen. I'm just happy with the idea of being associated with it. It's nice there's a lot of good will.
Idris Elba

Good, Happy, Nice

George Best

Done, Different, Times

It's just a great, legendary comic book hero and it's one that has never been kind of been brought back to life after Lynda Carter. I mean, it's a reinvention. When Tim Burton reinvented Batman after Adam West, and when Donner reinvented Superman after George Reeves, it's time to do that with Wonder Woman.
Joel Silver

Life, Time, Great
