Actress Olivia Munn fears she will never land her dream role as Wonder Woman because of her Chinese background.

The Asian-American star, who appeared in 'Iron Man 2' and is a self-confessed comic book geek, would love to play the all-American heroine but she fears her heritage stands in her way, reported Contactmusic.

"It would be great if the producers could make Wonder Woman an Asian-American, but that's probably not what they would do.

"I don't know a lot of Asian-American women who are getting great opportunities yet, and the other actresses (up for the role) are probably really famous, and Hollywood tends to go for the girls who are already in the big movies," she said.
