I really hope this doesn't become a big racial issue. I don't believe the problem is or that it will ever be that Wonder Woman is white and that Beyonce is black...simply for the sake of racism. I mean, when it all comes down to it...Nick Fury didn't seem to mind...and most of the rest of us didn't care either.
But, clearly, as far as comic books are concerned, Wonder Woman IS a woman that appears to be caucasian and has black hair and I think that the character should be cast as such. I mean, you wouldn't really wanna see Black Cat played by a woman with red hair...it's not ABOUT the red hair, it's about the fact that the character has platinum hair and you'd expect to see that because it's familiar...it's part of why you recognize the character.
I think the real problem (for me, anyways) is that Beyonce has a sort of energy that she puts off in every bit of film she's ever been in so far. Diana Prince has a certain personality that is really nothing like the personality that Beyonce exudes. I just don't think that Beyonce is really capable of that particular role as an actress. She doesn't have much range.
That being said, I love Beyonce and I think she's a fantastic singer and performer, but as far as acting goes, she seems to play the same person everytime...and that is "Beyonce".
I'll still see the movie, even if she does get the part...and I'll go in hoping to see her pull it off and well.
