6 Jan - Simu Liu was so amazed by the dedication of his "Copenhagen Test" do-star Melissa Barrera that he is campaigning for her to be the new Wonder Woman.

The "Shang-Chi" star expressed his admiration to the "Abigail" actress in a recent interview with JoBlo, saying, "She really pushes herself. I don't know who might be listening to this interview, James Gunn or anybody else out there. But I think she really pushes herself."

"There were a couple of moments during stunt training where I was like, 'That's Wonder Woman-esque.' I'm just throwing it out there," he added.

Liu called Barrera "a spectacular action star in the making," and added, "After the whole season and after all the training that she had been through, Melissa was looking really sharp as a fighter, and so, she came to set and she was just ready to come to blows."

"And it was really fun just to get to play that with her, and I'm really proud of what we did too. I'm really proud of her. She did a lot, most, if not all of her own stunts, and she's just the best," he added.

It is noted that James Gunn had previously stated that he is not looking to cast Wonder Woman yet until a script is finished.

Fans have been throwing out suggestions for the role, from Eiza Gonzalez, Alexandra Daddario to Adria Arjona.
