Move over Katie, Jessica Biel may be moving in. The fabulous Katie Holmes reportedly had a meeting in August and was vying for the role of Wonder Woman. At the time Star Magazine reported that she left the side of her hubby Tom Cruise to fly back to the United States for a meeting to discuss her playing the role that Lynda Carter made famous.

"The movie's only at the discussion state, but Katie feels this role as a kick-ass superhero will put her back in the public eye,” the source says. “She wants to show her stuff, and she wants to prove that she can stand on her own two feet without Tom’s help. Tom, at times, feels compelled to oversee Katie’s career, but Katie is bent on doing this alone," Star reported.

Now reports say it may be Jessica. According to Variety, Jessica Biel, who starred opposite Edward Norton in last year's The Illusionist, is in talks to wield the golden lasso in George Miller's upcoming comic book adaptation, Justice League of America, which will also feature Batman and Superman.

Australia's Victoria Hill, a virtual unknown, has also reportedly had meetings and screen tests with the production team behind the film. No word yet on exactly what happened to Katie's chances.
