The on again, off again, on again Wonder Woman television saga takes another interesting twist today with Deadline's assertion that the Charlie's Angels director and producer of nerd-savvy tv such as Chuck and Human Target is the front-runner for the directing gig on NBC's Wonder Woman. What do you think, Bleeding Cool, is he the right director for the job?

McG knows a thing or two about directing reboots of classic franchises featuring ass-kicking gals having helmed the two Charlie's Angels movies. Now my colleague, TVLine's Michael Ausiello, is reporting that McG has emerged as the odds-on favorite to direct David E. Kelley's freshly greenlit Wonder Woman pilot for NBC and Warner Bros. TV.
