Beyonce is already a huge star – actress, singer, global phenomenon – but the former Destiny's Child also wants to add superhero to her list of credentials.

Mrs Jay-Z has set her heart on stepping into that iconic red, white and blue bodysuit, telling the LA Times: 'What would be better than Wonder Woman?

'It would be great. And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It's time for that, right?'

The singer has reportedly already met with representatives at DC Comics and Warner Brothers to discuss the role.

After shooting a biopic about troubled legendary singer Etta James, Beyonce said it's time she turned her hand to something a little more light-hearted.

'After doing these roles that were so emotional I was thinking to myself, "OK, I need to be a superhero,"' she said. 'Although, when you think about the psychology of the heroes in the films these days, they are still a lot of work, of course, and emotional. But there's also an action element that I would enjoy.'

Her interest in the role was sparked earlier this year when she went to New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and saw Lynda Carter's iconic costume on display.

'I would definitely have to keep it right for that costume,' she laughed. 'But I love Wonder Woman and it'd be a dream come true to be that character.'

It would be a great twist as wonder woman. It would be more interesting and probably bring in more money just because its Beyonce and I bet you people would want to see her in that costume and it would probably bring in all kinds of ethnic groups its time to change things up!
