"It's so tricky to do [a superhero story] as live action," Russell told us when we caught up with her at the afterparty for her one-night reading of "All About Eve" on Broadway. "And we haven't seen a girl [carry] one yet."

That might be why producer Joel Silver has been running through directors and writers on "Wonder Woman," from Joss Whedon to the Wachowski Brothers to the now-rumored McG, searching for just the right take. (“It’s been in a constant state of development; we’ve just not been able to find the right way to do it yet," Silver told SuperHeroHype.)

But since there's already a queue of actresses ready to crack the lasso and fly the invisible jet -- most recently Beyonce -- Russell isn't sure she'd be the most qualified, even with her voice work as Wonder Woman on her resume.

"My only real experience with that is working with J.J. [Abrams], when we did 'Mission Impossible,'" she said, "and that was really fun, I have to say. But I don't know. I would do something for it, but I'm not necessarily fighting to get the part."
