Abigail Thorn Aspires to Play Wonder Woman in James Gunn’s DCU: “I’d Do It for Free” Abigail Thorn, the star of House of the Dragon, has expressed her desire to join James Gunn’s DC Universe as Wonder Woman, stating she would “play Diana for free.” The actress, known for her physicality and commitment to roles that blend performance and storytelling, shared her thoughts on her iconic red carpet look at the House of the Dragon premiere, her admiration for the superhero, and her ambitions in the entertainment industry. Thorn’s custom Wonder Woman-inspired gown, designed by Chris Habana, became a viral moment at the event. She collaborated with her stylist, Brian Conway, and makeup artist Nicki Buglewicz to create the look, which emphasized strength and confidence. The design included a custom breastplate, with no necklace to highlight the hierarchy of visuals, placing muscles at the forefront. Thorn also worked with Vivian Wilson, a model, to refine her posture and presence, comparing the process to learning to drive a powerful car. The final look featured a flowing hairstyle, glow serum for a radiant finish, and an Alexander McQueen bag adorned with knuckle dusters, reflecting her admiration for the designer’s bold, politically charged work. Thorn credited Wonder Woman’s unapologetic portrayal of power and heroism as a source of inspiration, particularly during her formative years when she felt self-conscious about her height and build. She highlighted how Diana Prince’s character, as depicted in Kelly Thompson’s Absolute Wonder Woman series, resonated with her, offering a sense of validation. Thorn praised the comic’s Eisner and Hugo nominations, expressing pride in its recognition and its message of female strength.#james_gunn #house_of_the_dragon #abigail_thorn #wonder_woman #alexander_mcqueen
