Beyoncé wants 'Wonder Woman' role

Beyoncé has made clear her intention to play Wonder Woman when the superhero hits the big screen.

The singer revealed that she has met with bosses from both DC Comics and Warner Bros regarding a role in an upcoming comic book adaptation.

"I want to do a superhero movie and what would be better than Wonder Woman? It would be great," she told the LA Times. "And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing."

However, the star said she knows it is important she keeps herself in shape if she is to take the role.

"I would definitely have to keep it right for that costume. The way that [original TV Wonder Woman] Lynda Carter wore it, she was so fine. She was amazing. Her waist was unbelievable. It was pretty crazy, actually, her proportions.

"I love Wonder Woman and it'd be a dream come true to be that character. It sure would be handy to have that lasso. To make everybody tell the truth? I need that. It would come in very handy."
