In issue 214 of Total Film magazine , Avengers star Cobie Smulders chats to us about voicing Wonder Woman in The LEGO Movie .

Inside the issue - which is available for just £1.99 on your iPad , Smulders talks about voicing a character that she's long been linked to - she was Joss Whedon's number one choice for Wonder Woman when he was attached to bring the super-heroine to the big screen.

"Wonder Woman is such an amazing character," Smulders says. "But she's very iconic, so it's scary stuff. It's scary stuff with big shoes."

  • Halle Berry as Storm using her powers during the 2000s movie X-Men. Halle Berry "promises" Storm isn't in Avengers: Doomsday, but we've been here before with Spider-Man: No Way Home

As for heading up her own Wonder Woman movie, Smulders admits: "I'm open to everything. I think it would be awesome, but who knows.

"I'm happy doing these great films like Delivery Man and being Maria Hill [ in Avengers]. If Wonder Woman comes up, I'll think about it then.

"Obviously I'd love to be a part of it if anything ever happened. But there's nothing going on."

Delivery Man opens in the UK on 10 January 2014. The LEGO Movie opens in the UK on 14 February 2014.
